    How demeaning to women. How about which President's wife was the most active or which one accomplished the most and which accomplished the least? I'll answer that one for you. Despite what many modern day liberals may want you to believe, Hillary did NOT accomplish the most as a first lady. She TALKED the most, but there were few accomplishments beyond the new china for the White House dining room and some minor decor changes. Eleanor Roosevelt was by far the most active and she accomplished quite a bit. In fact there are historians who say she was Franklin's legs. In other words she did the work of the Presidency that could not be done from a wheel chair. On top of that she did a lot for women's rights and for helping children. It was Eleanor Roosevelt who said "A woman is like a tea bag. You never know how good she is until she gets into hot water." Well Eleanor was in plenty of hot water and she always stood the test. Now as to who was the least effective? I am going to guess Mary Todd Lincoln. Truth be known none of the early President's wives probably had much to do beyond entertain, but poor Mary Todd was quite mentally ill and couldn't even do that. I'm not speaking ill of the dead, but she was pretty useless due to her illnesses. Now be honest, don't you find this line of discussion much more interesting than "Who is the prettiest?" I hope you do. But incase you don't I will admit that Eleanor wasn't much to look at. In fact I have always thought due to her large teeth she looked quite a bit like Jimmy Carter in drag.

    Jackie was the prettiest and Michelle Obama is positively the ugliest

    I think Jackie-O was without a doubt the most attractive of all the ones I have seen. I am not going to comment on who might be the ugliest because frankly I just find that to be too rude.

    For the prettiest a tie between Mrs Kennedy and Mrs Obama.

    I'd say Mrs Roosevelt can take the ugliest prize all by herself.

    Jack Kennedy's wife was a damn sexy little thing, and FDR's wife was bone-crushingly plain. Odd thing, though: Jackie did little more than get her pic taken again and again, while Eleanor Roosevelt did more good for humanity than just about any American woman before or since. Kinda makes ya wonder how important good looks are, huh?

    Jackie Kennedy was simply gorgeous. Lincoln's wife always seem about as he homely as he was, I always thought. Eleanor Roosevelt was no great looker either.
