It's up to 65%-35% against the luxury vacation.
Yes, I voted!
Lets do a quick check on former first Lady's.
First what is the DUTY of the wife of any man in any job.? I watched Obama sworn in as president but never saw Shell sworn in to do anything.
If I remember correctly the first President came under big flack when his wife caused outrage for the amount of money she was spending on their private home and her own clothing. Philadelphia was in dire straights people dropping dead in the streets from Yellow Fever, she who happend to be visiting the city at the time had to wait inside a home and watch as the dead were collected off the streets outside. Some how before she and entourage were taken back to Virginia managed to arrange for hundreds of dollars of clothing to bring home with her.
Good old Dolly Madison personally helped save the artifacts from the White House before the British burned up half of Washington. I was all ways suspicious on the loss of the books in the Library of Congress, I believe they were also removed and carted out of town to safety.
I know little about the wives of other Presidents except one has been said to have run the country when her husband could not do so and one wife may have poisoned her husband, the President.
Was it Teddy Roosevelt that had a wild family, the kids were hellions??
Who can forget FDR's wife Elenore, a woman's rights fighter and some believe a Lesbian to boot.
Truman's daughter who aspired to become an entertainer but now writes mystery books. Everyone loved Bess his wife, why ??
Eisenhower's wife Mamie who never grew up, wore these little bows in her hair and stayed out of sight.
A new day arrived with Kenedy and Jackie. She was accused of among other things of removing gems from gifts from from foreign country's, wearing her skirts too short, running off to spend months on board the Yacht belonging to her sisters boyfriend after the death of her new born child. It is said that Jack had to demand she return to help him kick off his Campaine for another term that kicked off in Dallas. Who was surprised when she remarried a man that had hosted her recovery from the death of her child.? Everything that came after was very sordid for everyone.
On toward Johnsons wife Lady Bird, quite the Southern Bell. She stayed busy with her wild flower projects and her girls.
Pat Nixon, a quiet lady that had to have been so embarrassed with her I AM Not A Crook husband.
Fords wife who made national headlines for needing institutional care for a drug-alchole problem. Betty Ford Clinic.
Carter and his wonderful wife that was seldom seen and not heard.
Regan and Nancy quite the woman Nancy. she talked the President into being sworn in at Midnight on the advice of some Kook Astrologer.
I do not know what to think of Bushes wife, Barbara is one heck of a controlling woman's mother bear when it comes to her family.
Clinton's wife Hillery who dammed the day she was born with no Balls. Our first, first lady to demand to be able to make decisions of National importance. I think I may be one of the few that can understand why he needed a real life woman in his life.
Bush and Lara, She is a class act.
So Now we have Shell, why is she not taking her girls to the Gulf to educate them on life in general--show them what is REALLY happening in the world.?
I myself was spoiled for years of being bombarded for years on how Princess Di was raising her children to some day lead with empathy and knowledge first hand of how the World actually works. She took her children to Leaper colonies, to visit AIDS victims to see the mine fields in some country's. She took them all over Great Britten to listen to domestic issues and take the problems seriously.
So when is Shell going to take her girls to Arizona to the border. What, too dangerous for them, if so why is it not dangerous for other American children.?
She could spend a day or two at the beach in Fl. and turn her girls loose on the beach to swim and have a good time.----OH YES, the kids cannot swim and the oil could cause them health problems. The sight of dead animals could give them nightmares.
Whats makes the Presidents family more important then 300,000,000 others in this country .? All state leaders need to pack up their kids and grandkids and head on out to prepare their children for the future.
Shell is raising her kids in Never Land, their Dad is on TV addressing the nation and she has them watching a freaking GAME on TV.
Rant over for now.
