I am sure there are bodyguards all over,this pic just doesn´t show them. Just remember what happened to both Kennedys, M.King, Olof Palme,etc..Actually I´m very much worried about their safety.
Regarding metscan's comment above, many times each day find myself thinking of the Obama family and I visualize them in a golden light of protection and pray for their safety. What symbols of Hope to the entire world!!!
Here is a commentary by Canadian columnist and essayist Heather Mallick, on the meaning of various dress choices during the recent US elections: http://tinyurl.com/56mfhz
"There's a universal language - clothing - and it's time to deconstruct what people have been mutely declaring on the world stage. These are leçons des choses, lessons from things.
Michelle Obama's dress on Election Night was stunning, a black satin Narciso Rodriguez dress blasted with two patches of crimson spatters, with black bands criss-crossing her torso to emphasize her tiny waist.
Ugh, said a woman named Elaine commenting on NYMag.com's fashion blog. "I thought the dress drew the eye to her breasts and stomach."
It did, Elaine. That's what made it alluring. Women have breasts; both they and men are pleased that it should be so. Bellies are where babies come from. There's the result: Sasha and Malia.
Here finally was a Democratic woman on a political stage not concealing her sexuality but happy to celebrate it. She has been rightly praised for her fashion sense - and true, there are very few clothes that don't flatter a tall, athletic woman like Michelle - but what's startling is that her clothes reflect her self-confidence in her femininity. She is a high-earning, Harvard-trained lawyer and she doesn't have to tone herself down for anyone."
Wow!
ReplyDeleteNo bodyguards? How impressively normal. Like Denis getting the tube back to No 10 (only much more tasteful).

ReplyDeleteIt's the elephant in the room, isn't it? But don't they look great?

ReplyDeleteNo it's not the fricking elephant in the room. People mention it all the time.
ReplyDeleteI think that is my favorite photo of the Obamas (sans children) that I've seen. If I didn't have a "couple crush" before, I sure do now!
ReplyDeleteA glamorous couple. If I did not know who they were I would still be struck by their beauty.
ReplyDeleteWell, I hope they both had two puddings.
ReplyDeleteI am scared for their safety.
ReplyDeleteANonymous we mix in different circles. I've never heard it mentioned on the media in the UK.
ReplyDeleteAn acquaintance in the US security industry told me, "Multiply presidential security by a factor of six."

Very chic!
ReplyDeleteI still can't believe they're our new First Family.
They must be SO weary after all the campaigning.
ReplyDeleteA great photo, worth a thousand words, and I truly hope everything goes well for them always.
