The role of first lady is arguably one of the most powerful and influential nonelected positions in the White House. Michelle Obama is no exception. An accomplished lawyer, former hospital administrator and self-appointed “mom-in-chief,” Michelle Obama serves as a role model for many modern women trying to balance work and family life, as she works to move discussion beyond her wardrobe to engaging the American public on important issues.

Wardrobe for the first lady is very essential because she has to represent all the excellence of white house plus what she is as the moving ambassador as the “ordinary”- socially that makes others comfortable with her with a proud feeling of a couple made for each other in privacy with her independent outward look on it of experience as the mother for families of life.

Obama election victory , no doubt was exceptional case in american history but lets be realistic. He has not changed the image of America in abroad as was created by one of ugliest president Bush maintained the status quo . Other world specially Muslim world realized that Bush is one of dictator who want to dominate his policies on world in the name of war on terror.
There must be change in the voice of american policy makers, Muslim world wants only respectable and equal relations with America. We never considered america as our enemy but when they support of genocide our Pelestinain borthers and sisters then there is chances that few of us charge USA equal as they believe that Israel is one of most dangerous and cruel country in the world.
