I think she’s her own person. Our comparison to Jackie is our shortcoming.
I never understood the comparison. Jackie was a privileged east coaster. For all intents and purposes, it was probably an arranged marriage in the old tradition.
Of course she’s her own person. But instead of trying to dictate how our kids eat, or something equally out of her realm, she seems to be starting out doing something that makes sense for an unelected public figure who finds herself as First Lady.
(And if you don’t think she has Mrs. Kennedy in mind as she determines her conduct and image, you don’t remember.)
During her time as First Lady, Jacqueline Kennedy was always dignified, unobtrusive, and concentrated on things that were appropriate for a First Lady, instead of sticking her nose into politics.
