Hot topic: Barak = charisma.
What kind of President has enough guts to do… this?
As much as I would hate to admit it, I think I might have a little bit of a crush on Barak Obama (especially after seeing those dance moves)! Lets face it – Barak Obama is young, charismatic, and charming.
Just look at them. A young, black President and his lovely wife. Their two young daughters at home. I look at this situation, and all I can think is “Camelot”. It is so funny to me, to think about everyone freaking out about the fact that we have a black President. But, within the past few weeks, and with inauguration day soon upon us, I think America has started to overlook the stereotypes and appreciate the Obama family for what they are. They are a shining example as to what the modern day American family should look like. The have created an image that stresses the importance of family and have a “fun” sort of heir surrounding their activities. The once elite and stuffy image of the first family has been shot down by images of the Obama family spending time together in casual attire, participating in “common folk” activities.
Also, analyzing Michelle Obama’s on point sense of style, we can see that her affordable, but extremly stylish wardrobe choices may deem her a new style icon. “Everyone knows that people respond to the way you look when you run for office,” André Leon Talley, an editor-at-large for Vogue, which featured Mrs. Obama as an “It” girl in its April issue, said last week in an interview. “A black Camelot moment is the right moment for the Obamas,” he added.”
Looking back at the success of John F. Kennedy and his Camelot administration during his time as President, I am hopeful that the Obamas will experience this same such public approval and likeability.
Until next time… Go Team America!
