How Michelle Obama Rendered Two Powerful Men Invisible
A few weeks ago, the Prime Minister of China, Mr. Hu Jintao, visited his counterpart President Barack Obama of the United States. China is a $5 trillion industrial elephant and boasts of the fastest growing military force in the world. The US is the last SuperMan standing. So it’s fair to say that President Obama and Prime Minister Jantao are perhaps the world’s two most powerful men at the time of writing this post.
Anyway, that is the not point of this article. The focus of this article is the state dinner that was held in the honor of Mr. Jantao. And again, this article is not about the Chef or the menu. It’s about Michelle Obama.
As I watched the pictures that came out of the dinner, I was surprised by how one woman’s dress could render the two most powerful men on planet almost invisible. Looking at the picture below, the only person I see is Michelle Obama, with everybody else desperately struggling for space to appear in the photograph. Or is it just me?
I don’t know what the folks from the fashion cognoscenti will say about it, but I kind of like the color and asymmetrical neckline.
And why did I digress from malaria, a disease that kills a child every 30-45 seconds, and HIV, which affects over 22 million in Sub-Saharan Africa, to write on Mrs. Obama’s dress, you may ask? In fact, I am asking the same question. I just couldn’t resist writing down what I observed as I watched the pictures.
How does one woman subject the world’s most powerful duo to a virtual invisibility or non-existence?
Thanks for reading.
