"I am all for President Kennedy and his wife - they are Democrats like my father. I will be glad if it is one of their children who follows me in being born in the White House. ... My husband and I were at breakfast when we heard the announcement [of the First Lady's pregnancy] on a radio news program. We laughed when the announcer said the only [president's] child to be born in the White House was born there nearly 70 years ago. It rather brought home my age to me."
