First Lady or cover girl?

October 16, 2008

Are Cindy and Michelle First Lady material or are they just cover girls?

According to squidoo.com, Michelle’s impressive resume includes: Former associate dean at the University ofChicago; a member of six boards of directors including the prestigious Chicago Council on Global Affairs, the University of Chicago Laboratory Schools and Tree House Foods; and Vice President, Community and External Affairs at the University of Chicago Hospitals. In this position she was responsible for all programs and initiatives that involve the relationships between the hospitals and the community as well as management of the hospitals’ business diversity program.

As heiress to her father’s stake in Hensley & Co. of Phoenix, Cindy McCain is an executive whose worth may exceed $100 million.   According to WNBC.com, Hensley’s business is valued at more than $250 million, with annual sales of $300 million or more.

Both potential first ladies make a stake when it comes to “celebrity” politics and business, but only one of their husbands can be President of the United States.

Only one can be First Lady as well.  In February, Cindy was critical of Michelle’s remark that for the first time in her “adult lifetime I am really proud of my country”.  Cindy told an audience then that in contrast she had long been “very proud of my country”.

Clearly, Cindy and Michelle offer more than just photo shoots and glamor.
