Ann Romney is a breast cancer survivor whose MS is in remission. She blushes when asked about being an inspiration to those afflicted with health issues.
“That is so touching,” she said, her eyes welling up with tears. “I am feeling buoyed by so many people praying for me. It is astonishing to me how universal that is in this country.”
She would not identify her most inspirational first lady. She mentioned Barbara Bush and Laura Bush, the spouses of Republican presidents. She also mentioned Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and first lady Michelle Obama.
“The role a first lady plays is very important. It’s a real symbol of strength, and there have been some very incredible first ladies with strong and resolute qualities to be admired,” she said.
