Or, maybe he just doesn't know much about any of the first ladies who have preceded her. Sean should look into some of the things other first ladies have accomplished like The Red Cross (Florence Harding), mental health reform (Rosalyn Carter), fighting poverty (Eleanor Roosevelt), substance abuse (Nancy Reagan) and women's and children's issues (Hillary Clinton).
and don't forget Laura Bush and literacy - she worked hard at it everyday within her own family!
