(2,252 posts)in the current world of "OTUS" acronyms. FGOTUS sounds like "forgot us" spoken after three drinks. Or maybe "for goddess" with a lisp.
So First Male ... FMODUS? First Dude ... FDODUS? First Homme ... FHODUS?
I posted a reply to a different thread earlier this week which suggests a possible solution to this quandary:

If the female president is also gay, we still have a FLOTUS!

(11,252 posts)Michelle takes it for me. I love how she gets involved with the kids and gets them all excited about eating healthy and moving. I also happen to love how genuine she comes across to the people. She is always listening and hugging someone making them smile. I just love her!

Bill for First Dude!

(72,377 posts)with Hillary coming right behind her. (I actually voted for Clinton the first time around because I wanted her as First Lady! LOL)

(33,688 posts)I have to throw out a shout to Betty Ford. She was a smart, compassionate, immensely likeable and vibrant person who was very much her own woman and had a tremendous positive effect on the world.

(110,159 posts)she seemed like such a fun, powerful, strong, free for all type woman. others may have had issue with her. but i would have loved to watch her in the office.

(22,057 posts)You're omitting some greats-Jackie, Lady Bird, Muriel, Roselyn, Joan, Kittie and Hillary all were/are class acts.

(1,986 posts)I was telling my wife the other night all about Eleanor Roosevelt...
Rowdyboy
(22,057 posts)Just had to throw her name out there. One of my favorite professors in college was an expert on the Roosevelts and the Great Depression so I heard some wonderful stories.

(20,600 posts)But Teresa Heinz Kerry comes in a very close second, and Laura Bush comes in a close third. I think all three are just awesome.

jorno67
(1,986 posts)so sorry...that would bump Nancy from the recent 10...

(20,135 posts)If we can choose others not on the list, I'd add:
Eleanor Roosevelt
Betty Ford
Abigail Adams
Grace Coolidge (an animal lover, a fan of Eleanor Roosevelt, insisted we join the war to help defeat the Nazis when over 90% of the country still supported isolationalism, volunteered in the Red Cross and worked to bring Jewish refugees from Germany to the US during WWII -- forbidden by her husband to speak publicly when he was alive)
Lady Bird Johnson
Cindy McCain earned some respect in my book for speaking out for marriage equality and participating in the anti-Prop 8 "NoH8" campaign.

(39,451 posts)and bake cookies. I'll never forget how that made me feel to have a First Lady that was proud to be her own woman.
And - she tried to take on Healthcare, even tho she was unsuccessful - that was huge!
But - personality wise, I LOVE Michelle.

(14,337 posts)no woman can know what what Hillary went through during the impeachment and Lewinsky fiasco, to come out with her marriage intact, AND to have her own political career. While I love Michelle, Hillary is one hell of a woman in my book.

(63,892 posts)some of the same reasons! Both are/have been good mothers, are intelligent and can articulate public policy skillfully.
They just have different skill sets and are in different eras.
