5. Not a question of deserving.

I just don't think she sees it as an opportunity to do something good for the American people.

And I don't think that's in her nature.

I think it is in her nature to exploit opportunities, but I also think it is in her nature to support every aspect of her husband, and accept that he is in charge, and that everything she now is is because of who he is. She rides on his coat-tails and she would not dream of getting off and standing on her own two feet.

But I think this because of the letter, and what the letter says about where she came from, more than any knowledge of her. I have not seen her seek to make a personal statement...

On the other hand, she did stay in New York for 6 months. That suggested to me that she didn't want to be FLOTUS.

Maybe I should do more research before I speak further.
