Why do Michelle Obama Pictures get so much attention?

Michelle Obama pictures spread around the internet like wild fire. No other First Lady has received the amount of attention and press coverage of Michelle Obama. Whether its her clothes or her hair the media can not get enough. She's the first first lady to enjoy a celebrity status. What is America's infatuation with this woman? Is it capitalism or true admiration? 

Well. one of the reasons Michelle Obama receives so much attention and gets her picture taken everyplace she goes is because of who she is married to. President Obama is one of the most charismatic presidents in history. The instant recognition he received as becoming the first black president insured he would be followed for historical purposes alone.

So in that historical nature, Michelle Obama becomes news. Not satisfied to be simply part of history. The two have made it a point to encourage media attention. Not because of vanity or ego. But because when you have the spotlight as a politician it gives you power. With the right people around you can have a big influence on the news cycle.

That is part of the reason there are so many photos of Michelle Obama floating around the internet. When she first became First Lady. The fashion industry needed something to hold on to. To give them a bump in this slow economy. They chose Michelle Obama. Rather than running from the media attention. Michelle has embraced it and used her celebrity to help get many of her programs kick started. Pretty smart if you ask me.
