Yes, and it is also known that these royal wives spend a fortune on clothing when they visit the West, so I don’t see any contradiction between Obama’s being a Muslim and MO’s style of dress.

In any case, I doubt very much that he has the ability to tell her what to do. That said, I think that one of the things that may be keeping Obama from making a proclamation that he is a Muslim is that Michelle probably is not a Muslim and doesn’t want to be one. This is not because she’s a Christian, but simply because even she must realize that women are nothing in Islamic society, and while she might be able to continue to dress the way she wants, she probably wouldn’t be able to swan around and do all the other things she likes to do.

I absolutely agree with that. Michelle is her own boss. She will not be controlled.
