Which First Lady said this?
"I got away with murder (during her years as the vice-president's wife). I am now slightly more careful about what I say. Slightly."
Eleanor Roosevelt? (Anyway I'd guess a 20th century First Lady.)
Welcome back, Eva!
Excellent guess...not the correct lady, but you are in the right century.
Sorry, Eva, and kudos, Bill. This quote is from Barbara Bush, January 23, 1989.
Wo was referred to in the following statement:
“…and I discussed every major decision he made…Most persons in leadership authority like to think out loud with someone he deems to be intelligent, well informed, conscious of all the nuances from fiscal policy to political possibility, can be trusted absolutely never to divulgea secret, and whom he admires: it is that kind of person who should be the President’s principal confidant.”
Good guess, Roger, but this time it's indeed not a JFK - question.
Was it Lincoln's White House dog Jip?
