Maria Shriver Not Sure About Title

Shriverschwarzenegger"The role of the First Lady is going to have to adapt to women who are coming in who have careers. And I'm not sure whether even the name 'First Lady' should continue on."
    —First Lady Maria Shriver, speaking to ABC News

Shriver, who is promoting the new California Hall of Fame, said about political disagreements with Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger: "Doesn't everybody have some political conflict with their husband? Or their wife? ... I think the good thing about Arnold is he listens to my opinions, and I listen to his." Shriver said her plan was to be a journalist, but Schwarzenegger's election in 2003 changed her path. "All of us who try to kind of plan out our life and our goals, we get our comeupance, and that happened to me."
