(4,578 posts)It's good for kids to see someone is a position of power, someone who's well respected... and to be able be inspired by, and to think to themselves "Hey! There's someone just-like-me!" and "They're not afraid or ashamed to embrace their authentic self!"

(880 posts)I watch her often on youtube.com and she does a great job. I wonder if she will write a book about her experiences in the White House? Jody Powell did that after the Carter Administration. It was a good read 40 years ago when I was a teenager and learning about the US Government and political science.
