Tyra Banks Plays Michelle Obama In Bazaar Photo Spread - Presumptuous Much?

From People Mag.

Quote:
Some celebrities have shown support for presumptive Democratic nominee Barack Obama by wearing a T-shirt with his face on it or by speaking at political events.

Tyra Banks is dressing up like his wife, Michelle Obama, in the September issue of Harper's Bazaar. "Michelle Obama, you're one hot mama," the talk show host and supermodel says in the issue, which hits newsstands Aug. 19.

In the new image, Banks poses in a faux Oval Office with a model who resembles Barack Obama. She also talks politics, explaining her pose. "With Barack Obama, his becoming president is them becoming president because Michelle was there from the beginning," Banks says. "Without Michelle, he wouldn't be there."

Will this backfire and play into the fact that more and more people are seeing an arrogance in Barack and a sense of entitlement?

What do you think?

... but this is People Magazine you're talking about. The savants looking for political guidance from People are already voting for Obama - probably Democrat Primary Voters already. This will just be more fuel for the fire when The Chosen One loses on 11/4.

you have to begin to wonder about Sen Obama -- too much, too easily -- can the guy take a real punch?

He just might fold like a 9-high bluff.

years ago :-) I really cannot stand this Obama madness and I cannot wait until November when I watch him and his sycophants cry racism because he loses.

I'm shocked that a respected fashion magazine like Harper's Bazaar would conceive this ridiculous photo shoot. I mean, comparing Tyra Banks to Michelle Obama? It's ridiculous, though I suppose it got the magazine the publicity it was hoping for. Here's a link to a story from a Chicago writer who agrees that the photo shoot is insulting to Michelle: http://www.examiner.com/x-394-Chicago-Style-Examiner~y2008m8d5-Tyra-Banks-and-the-Obama-Drama
