Michelle Obama: The Political Style Fixture

Now I’m not one to solicit my personal political beliefs, but I stand with Oprah and the millions of others that support Barack Obama.

As the old saying goes, “Behind every great man there is a great women”. This cliché stands true to Michelle Obama. Michelle is the primary driving force behind Senator Obama’s presidential campaign. She not only shows her support through her frequent national appearances and earnest speeches, but also cares for their two young (ADORABLE) children. Michelle is incredibly intelligent, educated and successful.

In addition, this do it all mother, wife and professional has not let her hectic schedule get the best of her appearance. Michelle looks radiant on a consistent basis, with a fabulous wardrobe, impeccable hair and make-up that is constantly in tact (cough…cough… Condoleezza might want to take a few notes). Michelle steers clear of ill-fitting nondescript garments, and wears ensembles that are both tailored and chic. Noted by Vanity Fair as one of the Best Dressed women in 2007, Michelle Obama is a graceful style fixture that is here to stay.
