Jeb Bush is like PIN Number Grin His parents are responsible for that, I think.

The nothing on her own part I meant wrt FL duties rather than her own work (also trying to avoid spoilers)

I can't believe people didn't know the difference between George Sr and Jr. Hilarious!

Franny1977 · 26/03/2016 11:07

If Hilary gets elected what will Bill's title be in place of "First Lady"?

To all who didn't know about two terms I highly recommend the West Wing and House of cards

Yes. Except it was posted as a joke. Check all the posts by that person.

Likewise Franny Bill and SCROTUS

Watch it with the West Wing.

I was present once when our Secretary of State asked a procedural question about "what if..." and half way through answering, my boss went pink and said, "sorry, no, that only happened in the West Wing. I'm not sure. We'll have to find out."

It's his initials. His name is John Ellis Bush. I wonder if that's where Arrested Development got the idea for GOB Bluth? (George Oscar Bluth, if I remember correctly.)

Thanks, Seneca.

I've often wondered what effect it would have on how the President is perceived if there a First Lady who did absolutely nothing on her own, just showed up as a Plus One at dinners and balls.
I've some American friends who think that Laura Bush didn't do anything other than lounge around, reading and smoking. (Ok, maybe just one friend said this, once.)

Trills · 28/03/2016 18:11

And drinking martinis I hope?

Apparently she did something

But not sure those activities took a lot of time from her.

I expect she spent most of her time parenting her OH.
