at interviewback with former first lady from october 2013. host: with all the posts that you in the president have held over the years, was there one that best prepared you for the white house and when you became first lady, did you feel prepared you -- did you feel prepared? all i was, first of not elected so it did not make that much difference. i did notice the difference in being the vice president's wife and the president's wife is huge as the vice president's wife can say anything. the moment you have said one thing as president's wife it makes the news. that is one thing i had to learn quickly. i felt very prepared because we had lived in washington off and father -- my father in law had been a u.s. senator although we have lived in texas, i think probably i was very comfortable, i had a comfortable -- i had a loving family and so to george and we felt comfortable. i loved being the wife of the vice president best of all -- host: why is that? guest: you could say anything you wanted and nobody cared and you could do a lot of good thing
