Thursday

campaign for Presidency. It must have been the second term, because when she was finished, I spontaneously jumped up to shake her hand, and I said, "Are you going to be the next First Lady who runs for President?" She hesitated for a second and then gave me a huge smile, and I got her autograph....

I loved what she once said about Iowa, that we proved America was ready for a black President, because "there aren't any black folks in Iowa, and they voted for us."
