I guess it’s tradition for the First Lady to have some cause she espouses. Just Say No to Drugs... I think Laura Bush’s thing was literacy... Hilary’s was health care. But it sure would be refreshing to see a First Lady who has no cause other than raising her kids, decorating the White House, and being gracious at parties. I mean, isn’t that enough?
True enough. However, I think that the title of "First Lady" gives a good bully pulpit to do some good.
Laura Bush chose literacy. Nancy Reagan chose "just say no to drugs". Both worthy causes, IMHO, and ones that allow people to make a choice to improve themselves.
Interesting that Hillary! and Moochelle both chose causes (Health Care and Obesity) that allow *them* to dictate what they think is best for everyone.
Insight into the differences between how libs and conservatives think.
