Lincoln Discussion Symposium

Bess Truman

Good try, Bill, and you are in the right century, but it's not Bess Truman.

Well, i will try Mamie Eisenhower and then shut up

Chronologically you're moving in the right direction, but it's not Mamie Eisenhower.

Betty Ford ?

Close, Gene, but it's not her.

Pat Nixon

Close, Anita, but it's not her.

Roselyn Carter

Excellent, Bill! Indeed it is a young Rosalynn Carter.

You win free tickets to the Billy Carter Gas Station Museum in Plains, Georgia. (Gene won the same prize two years ago, but I don't know if he ever went to Plains.)

Which First Lady said:

"Every woman over fifty should stay in bed until noon."

I guess a 20th century one. Pat Nixon?

Your thinking is correct, Eva. It is a 20th century First Lady. But not Pat Nixon.

Hillary Clinton?

Mamie Eisenhower? It sounds just like her.
