Do First Ladies Serve As Bad Role Models?

When we look at the leaders of our country, we look to the President; but to what many eyes goes unseen is that the First Lady is also a role model as well. She is seen to be prim and proper and to always back her husband, the president, up.  Other features that go into the duties of the First Lady as a role model are things such as personality, behavior, and looks.  Many people feel that they should follow the role of the First Lady, but in may cases I feel that we should not.  For example, President Cleveland's young wife was looked as, as silent and beautiful.  Women wanted to be her, but I feel that opinion and personality should be more important than worrying about beauty.  Beauty can be important in cases, but it should not be the main importance.  First Ladies need to serve more as having their personality and opinion to be an important aspect of life if we are to continue to look up to them as our role models.
