"The White House is fuming over a new anti-fur campaign featuring first lady Michelle Obama.\r\nShe appears alongside Oprah Winfrey, Carrie Underwood and Tyra Banks -- who have all refused to wear real fur -- in &amp;quot;Fur-Free and Fabulous,&amp;quot; PETA&amp;apos;s new ad, which was unveiled last week and can be seen at Washington, D.C.-area Metro stations and on the group&amp;apos;s website.\r\n\r\nBut the White House maintains that PETA had no right to use the image of the first lady in its new ads.\r\nPETA president Ingrid Newkirk insists her organization wouldn&amp;apos;t have sought Obama&amp;apos;s consent for the ad because it knows that she can&amp;apos;t make such an endorsement.\r\n\r\n&amp;quot;The fact is that Michelle Obama has issued a statement indicating that she doesn&amp;apos;t wear fur, and the world should know that in PETA&amp;apos;s eyes, that makes her pretty fabulous,&amp;quot; she said in a press statement.\r\n\r\nPETA senior vice president Dan Mathews added that Obama should be flattered.  Introducing the campaign, he said: &amp;quot;By rejecting fur, these style icons demonstrate to the world that fur is old-fashioned and cruel.&amp;quot;"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
