Eleanor Roosevelt.

She was far more active in things that actually mattered. And, she had the guts to tell it like it is.

For some reason that fills me with respect.

"I want them to see what those bastards did to my husband, Lyndon."

She said it to LBJ on the airplane. There has been a lot of conjecture as to who she meant by "...those bastards...". Or if she just meant it in general terms.

I definitely don't buy the story that Lee Harvey Oswald was acting alone.

I mean seriously, the Dude gets assassinated with 48 hours of Kennedy?

It's pretty obvious to me that that was done to shut him up.

I've resigned myself to the fact that I will never know the whole truth about that event in History.

In the past 25 years I guess Bill Clinton would get my vote for the best first lady.

I greatly admire Michelle. I think she could follow in Hillary's shoes.
