That is wonderful. I want to ask all of the panelists, why do we care so much about what the first lady wears . What is the impact . What is the legacy . What is the message that the first lady sends . I think shes a symbolic figure. Shes in a way a little bit like the queen of america. And people look at her to see what kind of a female image shes conveying. And i think we also see her as a mother of our country for the time shes in office. And i think that people definitely want to emulate her and, you know, seek guidance, you know, from how she is conducting herself and projecting herself to the world. And i want to remind everyone were going to have a question and answer session at the end of this. If you have questions about any of these things and think you might forget, write them down. And we

Dolley madison was criticized. People criticized here, didnt they, and thought she was too fancy and too much into fashion and too aristocratic, not democratic enough.
