Got as much love and attention as Michelle Obama.... Everywhere I go on the internet and TV it is Michelle power... I must say I am truly loving this moment in history.

9. The difference between Michelle and Jackie is that Jackie
sought the attention. Both women married a very charismatic guy who drew attention.

11. I remember Jackie K. I also remember she craved some privacy
for herself and her family, and much privacy for herself after JFK died.

I'm not sure I agree with your assertion that Jackie "sought the attention". She was a jewel for the Kennedy Presidency, and JFK advisors wanted to show her off, she was gracious enough to endear herself to millions in France, the UK, Ireland, and the USA, but I don't think she would have chosen to do so on her own.

Michelle, on the other hand, has NO problem relating to the public honestly as the accomplished woman that she is. I hope she continues in the style and with the flair she has begun in this Presidency. We will all continue to love her even more!

18. you couldn't be more wrong.
Jackie Kennedy Onassis was a wonderful person. I had the privilege of knowing her a bit when I worked for a friend of hers. She was amazingly gracious. She was a very private person, but she had great warmth.

16. Grover Cleveland's wife
She was a 21-one-year old girl, Frances Folsom. Cleveland married her while she was in the White House and she was a major icon in her day.



> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frances_Folsom

Baby Ruth bars aren't actually named for Babe Ruth - they're named for Ruth Cleveland - Grover Cleveland and Frances Folsom Cleveland's daughter, born in the White House.
