Michele Obama Loses The "Lady" in First Lady

By Douglas V. Gibbs

The First Lady, the President's Wife, is usually thought of as a woman of class, lady-like demure, and fashion that reflects modest standards. She is an important addition to the presidential personality, but must remain in the background, so as to not challenge, or overshadow, the presidential image. The occasional news story about her being involved with charities, or attending a special dinner, is expected. Constant feigning over her is not what the media is supposed to do.

The love affair the press has with Michele Obama borders on obsession. They marveled at her sleeveless dresses, and jumped for joy when she spoke strongly as a woman of independence (ignoring her gaffes, or comments about how she failed to love this country until her husband received a political promotion).

After making a big deal about her sleeveless dresses, now a little more skin is being shown. The press can't get enough, now, of her short shorts.

I don't see the big deal. Personally, I think she lacks class.
