Why Are Americans So Obsessed With Michelle Obama?
First of all, she is the first Black American First Lady. She is from a working class/middle class background.
She is highly qualified academically, from one of America's a very prestigious colleges in Law.
She is slim, petite, a mother of two young girls, reasonably spaced between ages, and is quite self confident in her own skin mentally and psychologically.
Michelle Obama, loves her husband Barack Obama dearly, and does not hesitate to show that love and affection publicly.
Which seems surprising to most Americans, after seeing those stereotypes shown historically in the media, that tend to show Black people as unloving towards each other, and living in single managed households.
Michelle Obama chose to compliment her husband's policies wherever she can, and has identified certain areas that she feels she can make a difference at that level, and has managed so far, to endear herself to all those who have come into personal contact with her socially and officially.
As America's First Mom or First Lady, she would be monitored by the media and the entire society the way Royalty is.
That comes with the territory of that position. But I think Michelle Obama and family, have come to understand and cope with all the paparazzi this entails.
