Didja hear what Michelle Obama was wearing? Didja didja didja?
That, according to Howard Kurz, is how most papers are covering Obama's European trip. He offers some examples.
From the Huffington Post:
Will Michelle Obama wear sleeves to meet Queen Elizabeth II later this week? Flats? Perhaps a hat? Will she recycle a previously worn ensemble, as a nod to the global economy's perilous state -- which everyone blames on America -- or debut a dazzling new outfit?
Goodness! So many choices! I hope she chooses correctly--wouldn't want to get in a tiff with the queen!
Or how about this one, from Britain's Daily Mail:
Let's be positive and see Michelle Obama's wardrobe thus far as a metaphor for all the sparkling, bright change the G20 summit will effect. For however weighty the political issues on the agenda, Mrs O should be commended for the lightness of touch she brought to the breakfast table today.
To quote Benjamin Franklin: "Oh, barf."
Yes, Michelle Obama is a beautiful and stylish lady. That is undeniable. Also undeniable: the fact that there are many, many more important things going on at the G20 summit than Michelle's wardrobe.
Just like Obama was prematurely anointed the next FDR, Michelle is already becoming the new Jackie O. Well, good luck to her. But do we really need to hear about it non-stop for the next four years?
