Perhaps in deference to Russia's uneasiness about a political wife with popular support of her own, U.S. White House officials have suggested Michelle Obama will avoid the limelight during the visit.
Michelle Obama bringing glamour to Moscow
Despite global acclaim, first lady may face challenge winning Russian public
Michelle Obama brings her superstar glamor to Moscow this weekend as she accompanies her husband on his summit with the Russian president.
But the American first lady, who has wowed publics in the U.S. and Europe with her easy elegance and charm, will perhaps face a bigger challenge in winning over a Russian public that has scant respect for women who grab the limelight from their powerful husbands.
A different type of first lady
In a country where a presidential candidate once quipped he'd sooner pack his wife off to a convent than allow her to dabble in politics, Russia still has trouble with the concept of an empowered woman behind the throne.

And the biggest butt and feet they’ve ever seen!
(Was that catty?)
Oh my goodness. AP is further down the toilet than I’d imagined to be possible.
It is bad enough the media drools over Barrack, but the media’s love for Michelle is really over the top. She is really not glamorous.
LOL, what a joke. Personally I fund nothing glamorous about her...she looks like a linebacker in a practice jersey.
Make it stop.
Odd how COMMUNISTS LOVE HER!
LOL!!!!!
Aunt Esther is smiling.
Moscow has plenty of hookers far more glamorous and with more class than Michelle Obama. But you know, some of those AP reporters just aren’t bright enough to figure that out.
It’s almost as though the eunuchs in the state run “media” had never seen a black person prior to Obama and his wife showing up. It’s weird.
What’s glamorous about a bra strap hanging out while you’re being photographed walking the dog?

Michelle Obama gave a speech at the University of South Carolina the week before the SC Democratic Primary:

I really do loathe the media and I’m glad I don’t watch them anymore.
Michelle Obama brings her superstar glamor
I think you may well be right, that the elite media never had to deal with Black people until these two were transported into the WH
It is totally sickening and Orwellian to keep trumpeting she has brought class and glamour, she’s stylish, she’s the second coming of Jackie O, etc. Just total lies. But as Goebbles said, “If you tell the big lie often enough, it becomes the truth.”
Glamour? Beauty? Fashion Icon? What in the world are they trying to do. I thought she was longing for substance in her role. This is it???????????????
Dear Lord, please help me to never be as delusional on the right, as the people on the left are.
When I think of Michelle, I don’t think of glamor. I think of her as a wife and a mother, a woman with a pretty decent education herself. That being said, I probably disagree with her on just about everything.
If I were to think of her in terms of beauty, the only word that would be the most fitting, would be moose.
Frankly, I wish the media would just cover her activities and leave the colorful descriptions out. I’ve got no reason to bash the woman on looks, but if the issue is raised, I’m going to bring some reality to it.
Is she wearing the kitchen curtains or the living room drapes today?
AP = Always Propaganda
The First Lady must be described perpetually as “glamorous” to complete the JFK analogy.
