"Better Homes and Gardens" hasn't had a public figure on its cover in 48 years.
With President Obama's approval rating plummeting along with the nation's employment picture, they must have figured now was the time to break with tradition and do an ultimate exposure puff piece on his wife:
Better Homes and Gardens will feature First Lady Michelle Obama on the cover of its August issue - the first public figure to grace the magazine's cover in 48 years.
Obama will be the focus of an article on healthful eating for children. The issue will hit newsstands July 19.
Editors from the magazine, which is owned by Des Moines-based Meredith Corp., and the first lady co-hosted a picnic in May for D.C. fifth-graders. The magazine features photos of the picnic and an interview with Obama about her efforts to promote healthful habits.
Americans better prepare themselves for wall-to-wall Obama cover stories between now and November 2012 not just about him but also his family.
If you thought the media pulled out all the stops in 2008, you ain't seen nuttin' yet.
All this does is force her into your life. “Mind Control”
The way to end this is at the voting booth next November. I suspect a lot of folks will be lining up to do so.
Speaking of “small feat”, I’d say she sports at least a pair of size elevens. (another pun intended)
Both my grandmothers were great cooks. My mom was OK too but not like them.
Both grandmothers were here and raising THEIR families during the depression.
They KNEW how to get nutrition out of a minimal budget. Both of them came here from Europe where there was never an abundance of anything either. I think that is how they weathered the depression, because they had done without before. Both kept gardens and could (I think sometimes had to) live off vegetables. NOBODY starved and everyone was healthy.
Actually, every back yard in that neighborhood was a garden.
There is a lot of very wholesome and nutritious food you can serve for a minimum of expense. I think it is better than fast food and processed stuff.
I think this propaganda will backfire. Why? Many,many Americans are doing without; scrimping...making it pay to pay. BHG is mid to high end on recipe ingredients and gardening ‘suggestions.’ If someone just counted pennies thru the grocery store (to buy store brand peanut butter; rice; cheap mac and cheese) and there is MAO (Michelle Antoinette Obama, as style and food ‘expert’ staring at you from the check out racks)...well...will it leave a warm fuzzy ‘can’t WAIT to vote for her husband’ feel with the consumer who could NOT afford ‘healthy’ thank to her “husband.”
I see another Obama epic fail. Too many Americans have LOST their (better) homes and gardens (as well as jobs, cars and hope) thank to her “man.” Awful optics (and I don’t mean the photoshopped image.
The thought the article was about Obama. I thought on the left side the article was “easy ways to get more from your dick.”
I did a double take.
Oh look, it’s moochelle of sunnybrook farm!
what ARE these editors smoking, to think women are falling for this stuff??
She one of the last people that should be recognized as helping the working family home.
when it comes to imagery what is associated with the picture is very important and that is exactly what i was thinking myself to when I seen 'deck'.
With the Obamas responsible for many people now living in parks, I find her choice of photo shoot setting very appropriate.
very good point
+2!
Wonderful description....thanks!!
I understand. :)
Suggested caption: “Eat your peas, honky!”
Where’s the cat: “What has been seen cannot be unseen!”
Should have showed her eating a greasy cheeseburger, fries and ice cream. Oh yeah, and a Diet Coke.
Does the magazine print her recipe for bamboo shoots?
She should be on the cover of Bitter Hoes and Gargoyles!
