Obamas Seen as Role Models for Love
Barack and Michelle Obama aren't just trendsetters in politics and
style: experts say they "represent a welcome change as an openly
affectionate and romantic couple for many Americans." Intentionally or
not, the new First Couple will have the White House bully pulpit to
set an example. "With such a high percentage of black people
unmarried, everyone is looking for images of black love," said Michael
Perry, a librarian at Harlem's Schomburg Center for Research in Black
Culture. "[The Obamas] personify that. It makes people say, 'Wow, we
want to be like them.'"
