First Lady, Michelle Obama, was spotted wearing shorts as she exited Air Force One on a bright, sunny day after returning home from vacationing with the first family. There was much controversy over this outfit...but WHY??? Isn't she human, just like the rest of us. Doesn't she have the right to dress down when vacationing with family like any of us would? Contrary to popular belief, people in office and positions of power are not robots and they should not be treated as such. Society is so socially constructed and set in the ways that it set itself that anything other than what we are used to is shot down. GIVE THE WOMAN A BREAK! She is not nude, nor are her clothes too revealing. Here we see a hidden power displayed...that hidden power being society...when the wife of the person in charge can't dress how she choses without being picked apart by the media. I guess it was enough that we have the first African American in office and the first lady wearing shorts was just too much, huh? Well, I say get over it...change is among us whether we like it or not! That is all! :)
What a hoot! If the media would stop hounding presidential families every minute of the day, this wouldn't be an issue. What's next - criticizing what she wears to bed.. nighties -v- pjs -v- tshirts!
