Michelle ObamaMichelle LaVaughn Robinson Obama (born January 17, 1964) is the wife of the 44th and incumbent President of the United States, Barack Obama, and the first African-American First Lady of the United States.Raised on t heSouth Side of Chicago, Obama attended Princeton University and Harvard Law School before returning to Chicago and to work at the law firm Sidley Austin, where she met her future husband.At the time of her husband's election, some sources anticipated that as a high-profile African-American woman in a stable marriage she would be a positive role model who would influence the view the world has of African-Americans. Her fashion choices were part of the 2009 Fashion week,but Obama's influence in the field did not have the impact on the paucity of African-American models who participate, that some thought it might.The media have been criticized for focusing more on the first lady's fashion sense than her serious contributions.She has stated that she would like to focus attention as First Lady on issues of concern to military and working families.U.S.News & World Report blogger, PBS host and Scripps Howard columnist Bonnie Erbe has argued that Obama's own publicists seem to be feeding the emphasis on style over substance.Erbe has stated on several occasions that she is miscasting herself by overemphasizing style.
