Counterpunching

These portrayals of the first ladies involve their efforts to project their own voices. Eleanor sees the injustice of not accepting the Jewish refugees because it would show the US reducing its neutrality. Betty Ford falls to her demons as she tries to remain sane after the Carter election. Michelle Obama decides to talk about race, possibly alienating voters, especially in the South. I too wish another actress had played her.
