http://www.guardian.co.uk/lifeandstyle/2009/apr/03/michelle-obama-carla-bruni-sarkozy-fashion It's this type of focus that casts the current administration as one more concentrated on celebrity than repairing the country's myriad woes! Unfortunately, they seem to be embracing the limelight and responding in a manner that is working to erode our collective confidence. C'mon, get your priorities in order!!! And why is the Guardian, supposedly a liberal publication, running shit headlines such as this? This is tabloid material!
