jacqueline kennedy was really the first.leanor roosevelt, of course, thought about her own public role, but she pushed that. i mean, i'd say that she's unilaterally responsible for that. the roosevelt white house wasn't pushing her in front. i think jackie kennedy is really the first first lady that is part of a media strategy. pat nixon did not play the role, the public role that the white house wanted her to play. ms. brennan: well, i actually think that it goes further back. i think the republican party used her during the eisenhower -- when she was second lady and really wanted to use this image of dick and pat as this young couple that mirrored america, at the same time, had these two young children. and so i think the republican party actually helped to create that image of her as this ideal housewife. and then once it was there, they couldn't really stop it. it kind of took on a life of its own. timothy j. naftali: do you think that -- that -- were they doing the same thing with mamie? mary brennan: well, mamie was so

and i find her amazing in that regard, that she knew that jacqueline kennedy was extremely popular, andet she knew that she had a lot to offer, too. cokie roberts: and she had filled in for jackie kennedy a lot. betty boyd caroli: many times. cokie roberts: i mean, that's something you have to keep in mind. there were lots of times that mrs. kennedy was -- she was pregnant, she lost a baby, she wasn't well a lot of times -- a lot of things she didn't want to do. and mrs. johnson filled in, so she knew the role well. and she was a quintessential washington political wife. she had been on this scene since the 1930s, and she really knew it well, and she had a cadre of other political wives who were just extraordinary women, and they all gathered around her, and that made -- that also made that transition somewhat easier. susan swain: we should say at the outset, among those women who gathered around was your own mother. cokie roberts: right. susan swain: can you talk about the friendship between your parents and the johnsons? cokie roberts: well, my father was first elected to congress in
