When asked “What there every any criticism of the things you did in the White House in all those years?” referring to the refurbishment and opening the White House to tours  she replied “Never, no. They had the most incredible interest and then the tours would start going” and every night he [JFK] would come home saying we had more people today.”

She continued “He was just so proud and I was just happy that I could do something to make him proud of me because I’ll tell you one wonderful thing about him. I was never any different when I was in the White House than I was before but the press made it different.

“Suddenly everything  that had been a liability before: your hair, that you spoke French, that you didn’t just adore to campaign, that you didn’t cook bread with flour up your arms. You know everyone thought that I was a snob and hated politics.”

The former First Lady spoke about the deep support she felt from her husband in the early years of marriage. She said “Well Jack never made me feel like a I was a liability for him but I was and then I was having a baby and I couldn’t campaign. And then when we got in the White House all the things that I’d always done suddenly became wonderful because everything the first lady does, everyone sees.

I was just so happy for Jack, especially the fact that we were only three years together three years together that he could be proud of me then because you know it made him so happy.”
