So Facebook told me I have a memory to look back on. I clicked on it thinking it will be something I did that day. It turned out to be a video I shared of Hillary Clinton receiving her Grammy award in the Best Spoken Word or Non-Musical Album category for "It Takes a Village." It was a video of her acceptance speech. I had no idea she received a Grammy.
I remember hearing that Obama also won a Grammy. I looked it up and he actually won two, though he was nominated for three. They was also in the Spoken Word Album category.
I wonder if any other US presidents or first ladies ever won a Grammy.

@lovebuglena That sounds like fun. Did you just visit or did you shop?

I often think that the powers that be in Hollywood have too close of a relationship with the powers that be in Washington, and they get along a little too cozy for my liking. I don’t think a sitting President should win awards from an industry in which the government has to or should be regulating.

@lovebuglena Good. That’s the way it should be.

I am not sure if any president or first lady won a Grammy while in the White House.

@lovebuglena I should have suspected Jimmy Carter!
That guy has done just about everything.

Well I know Trump has not won a grammy..he should have as he was in Home Alone for one minute I think.

He was in Home Alone: Lost in New York. But he wouldn't be able to win a Grammy for that as that is not given for acting. Maybe an Oscar then.

Jimmy Carter three times winner. Former U.S. First Lady Michelle Obama won in 2020.
