My friends, I know you'll ALL agree that THIS...IS...WHY...GOD...MADE...BLOGS. Hard-hitting investigative journalist, thy name is Greta.:silly:
Yesterday we spent the day chasing the first lady around New York (the New York Public Library and the New York Stock Exchange) and it confirmed my thoughts: It is tough work to be the first lady.
Whether the first lady is Republican or Democrat, much seems to be demanded of a first lady. Or maybe it is more accurate to say they volunteer to do so much. At the end of each day, they must be exhausted. And, of course, the media is always watching them, which must make it a particularly tough job. One mistake and we in the media seize upon it... and, of course, can influence you. Following Mrs. Bush yesterday and talking to former first lady Hillary Clinton many times over the year I get a better idea of the job. Here is my question to you: Would you want to do it?
Today we start “round two” with the first lady in New York. We are catching up with her at the United Nations. And again, the day starts a bit early. In addition to watching her husband speak at the United Nations, she has her own activities planned. We will follow her — with our cameras — so stay tuned.
Incidentally, I ran into another first lady yesterday: Mrs. George H. Bush (Barbara Bush). She was also at the New York Public Library watching her daughter-in-law (as was the first lady’s mother and one of her daughters). Mrs. George H. Bush also has literacy programs so naturally the event yesterday morning was of great interest to her. I talked briefly with Mrs. George H. Bush about baseball… yes, baseball. She loves baseball. Her team is not likely to make the playoffs.
