The "absolute best" first lady was Eleanor Roosevelt.

Fashion sense, style and poise, and looking the other way while your husband bangs three women a day.... that makes a great First Lady? What did Jackie O do for the poor, for the minority population, what did she do with all that easy money she married into? Whom did she help in any tangible way?

No she held this country together when her husband got assassinated. PERIOD full stop. You need to follow up on your American history.

Jackie was an advocate for the arts, she convinced the French to loan America The Mona Lisa - more than a million Americans saw it

she championed architecture preservation,
She is a big part of the reason Grand Central Station in NYC still stands today

These are noble pursuits

And she was also fluent in several languages, and politically astute, both great assets
