The legacy of Jackie Kennedy...and Barbara Bush

[Didereaux]

(I posted this as a reply in another thread, but upon re-reading I think it deserves to stand alone)

In circumstances that even money does not overcome, Jackie managed to raise BOTH her children to be fine adults! And by comparing them to family and friends and associates it is quite obvious that it was the mother who instilled the values. Yes, there was the Greek and all of that, but those two kids apparently were shielded well by their mother.

Ethel didn't fair so well, not bad, but not nearly so well.

Then you have only to compare those families with the one that wanted most of all to exceed them -the Bushs'. Barbara will to er dying day never understand or accept that 'blue-blood' though her heritage is, she remains only a nouveu-rich hillbilly. Nothing more than a 'Ma' Barker with a pack of ill begotten, runny-nosed undisciplined brats. Wouldn't it just be the perfect justice if say 1 hour before she died she actually saw and understood what she was and what she bequeathed the world?
