Eleanor Roosevelt, IMHO, would be waaayyyy down at the bottom of the list. She was a disaster!

I'm also shocked that Hillary Clinton would ever receive any accolades. Geez!

My vote goes to Laura Bush as the finest, most elegant with most class of any that have been in that position since I have been on this earth, with Nancy Reagan and Jackie Kennedy following in that order.

Jackie O will always be the classic American first lady to me. Just a stunning woman.

Nancy Reagan seemed all right.

[not that what the First Ladies do matters much to me]

Jackie O would get my vote. She was better looking.
Actually her eyes were too far apart; she looked like she had fetal alcohol syndrome. I always found her weird looking and never understood why anyone thought she was beautiful.

If Nancy only spent 25K on china for the White House, I'd say she did a great job bargain hunting and finding the lowest price. Considering how many place settings she had to buy, 25K doesn't sound like much at all for fine china.

I think she was elegant and had a lot of class. While not truly "beautiful", I'd call her looks "arresting" in that she got your attention.

I certainly agree that Laura Bush has a lot of class, too. She would be #1 on my personal list of First Ladies that I admire. She had to put up with a lot with all the hatred that was heaped upon George. That can't be an easy row to hoe.

We have had a wide variety of first ladies. from totally crazy --- Ms lincoln, to a B actress. a few society girls.

Ms Reagan was a bit out of touch ... Just say no... really?

Jackie O, class act but smoked too much

Ms. Cater, hard working and dedicated to making the worlds a better place. Our closest thing to Mother theresa

Ms.Bush was amazing how she could without flinching listen to some of the idiocy of her husband... she was amazing

Hilary brought it into a fully working position, damn near a cabinet seat. Probably the most brilliant of the first ladys

Ms Bush sn... grandma... she should ahve borrowed some of sn's Ms. L:'Oreal

Lady Bird - decent presence, cetainly was the bright spot in the mid 60's white house

Elinor - had to put up with a cheating husband, like Jackie and Hilary

Do remember anything about Mamie
