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.)


RE: Presidents and First Ladies Trivia - RJNorton - 07-17-2013

Welcome back, Eva!

Excellent guess...not the correct lady, but you are in the right century.


RE: Presidents and First Ladies Trivia - Eva Elisabeth - 07-17-2013

Lady Bird Taylor?


RE: Presidents and First Ladies Trivia - Wild Bill - 07-17-2013

Barbara Bush


RE: Presidents and First Ladies Trivia - RJNorton - 07-17-2013

Sorry, Eva, and kudos, Bill. This quote is from Barbara Bush, January 23, 1989.


RE: Presidents and First Ladies Trivia - Eva Elisabeth - 07-17-2013

If she slightly remembered her words when she later said this about Bill Clinton?

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.”


RE: Presidents and First Ladies Trivia - RJNorton - 07-24-2013

John F. Kennedy?


RE: Presidents and First Ladies Trivia - Eva Elisabeth - 07-24-2013

Good guess, Roger, but this time it's indeed not a JFK - question.


RE: Presidents and First Ladies Trivia - J. Beckert - 07-24-2013

Ronald Reagan?


RE: Presidents and First Ladies Trivia - Eva Elisabeth - 07-24-2013

Sorry, Joe, no.


RE: Presidents and First Ladies Trivia - Rogerm - 07-24-2013

Was it Bill Clinton?


RE: Presidents and First Ladies Trivia - Gene C - 07-24-2013

Was it Lincoln's White House dog Jip?


RE: Presidents and First Ladies Trivia - RJNorton - 07-24-2013

Franklin Roosevelt?
