NEW YORK– In one week, Michelle Obama sat for a formal White House portrait, dressed in somber, tailored clothes; posed for a snazzy People magazine cover, dressed in a slightly down-market, hot-pink lace outfit that showed plenty of skin; let the national media know that the First Family would be getting its new puppy from a rescue shelter; and had her press office mention casually that “secretaries and policy makers” had been invited for popcorn and movies at the White House.
纽约－在入主白宫的第一个星期里，米歇尔·奥巴马（Michelle Obama）穿着颜色灰暗剪裁考究的服装，坐着让人画正式的白宫肖像画；穿着稍显廉价的、露出许多肌肤的大红色蕾丝边裙子，摆出造型让华而不实的《人物》杂志拍摄封面照；让全国媒体都知道，第一家庭将会从救助站收养一条小狗；并且，还让她的新闻办公室似乎是不经意地提到“部长和政策制定者”都被邀请到白宫吃爆米花，看电影。
