OK, I hope this hasn't been asked yet, I pop in and out of this thread -- what President spoke to his wife in another language when they wanted to have a private conversation in public, and for bonus points, what language was it?

(upping the ante)
Which President's wife was so crosseyed that she only ever had her photo taken in profile?
(The fact that I'm saying "President's wife" and not "First Lady" should help.)

Which President was presented with the first National Thanksgiving Turkey (although, despite popular myth, he did not pardon the turkey)?
