LOL but she doesnt mind her husband's likeness plastered all over creation.



But the first lady, Michelle Obama, who has publicly described her role as "mom in chief," apparently was not amused. "We feel it is inappropriate to use young, private citizens for marketing purposes," Katie McCormick Lelyveld, Michelle Obama's press secretary, said in a statement

Its ok to use older public citizens for marketing purposes though, right Barack?

ok I saw this on the news.. did anyone notice that A) there were about 20 different dolls with 20 different names.. B) the company specifically stated the dolls were not modeled after obama's daughters.

so what.. 2 of the dolls had the same names as them... wtf is the deal?

"We feel it is inappropriate to use young, private citizens for marketing purposes," Katie McCormick Lelyveld, Michelle Obama's press secretary..... who routinely issues press releases mentioning the names of the stores who supplied the clothing that said children appeared in.

Maybe this means that the first lady will become a champion of privacy rights. . . HAH!

What's up with making dolls of well-publicized names lately?
