Obama Is Not Only the President, He Is Also Michelle’s Hubby
Barack Obama is a model family man, which is very important for America, as the country is going through a crisis of its traditional values.
His wife is the most important decision Barack Obama has ever made. The quality of his marriage was a decisive factor for the people of the United States when judging the presidential candidate in 2008.
His wife and his family are obligatory demonstrative attributes of Obama. Everyone knows that in Obama’s family, it is Michelle who plays first fiddle. Not only was she once Barack’s boss, but she has also become the driving force of his political career. Obama, on his part, once joked, that in contrast to him, Michelle has unified America, because regardless of political views, the whole country agrees that in their house, Michelle should have the right to carry a gun.
The first lady is the second most popular person in the country. In the United States, it is not the president but his wife who makes the White House a home rather than an office. People judge Barack’s tastes by Michelle’s. In fashion magazine,s people discuss her hats, dresses and accessories. Michelle Obama is the official subject of Barack’s human desires. She makes it possible for ordinary citizens to see Obama not as a political demigod but as an ordinary man.
Michelle perfectly humanizes her husband, as she helps him to solve problems that image-makers and councilors can’t or don’t dare [to] help with. For example, every day, she helps her children with their homework. She also explains how to manage the family budget, the president’s work being not as well-paid as some may think. After the victory, Michelle is the person with whom Obama spends most of his time.
Dinner, sports or weekends out-of-town — this is the time when one of them can communicate whatever they think and the other will listen to the person they can trust completely. As a matter of fact, Barack calls Michelle “an overall opinion survey.”* He often refers to her opinion at official meetings, deliberately outlining his wife’s role. For many female American citizens, the first lady is a demonstration of their own emancipation. Elle has even called Michelle the most elegant female politician. Some male African-Americans may have voted for Obama because they saw him as one of them, but their female counterparts have voted for Michelle, who, in their eyes, remains the most powerful weapon of the president.
