THE OBAMA FAMILY: ARE THEY JUST LIKE THE REST OF US?
This week’s People magazine’s cover story is “The Obama’s at Home”—a clear cut PR strategy to dispel rumors about Barack Obama’s personal life.
Bonnie Fuller sees this cover as a way to “present Michelle and Barack as the beloved Brangelina of the political world.”
Turning the possible future first-family into beloved figures like the Jolie-Pitts may look good in theory, but for every Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie, there are dozens of Ben Affleck and JLo’s, Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes’, and Britney and K-Fed’s.
Do you think this sort of strategy will work for Obama and his campaign?
