Let’s play a guessing game.

Here’s how it works:

We’ll list some information that describes two individuals, and you’ll do your best at guessing who each person is.

Let’s begin.

In March of 2009, Person 1 was featured on the cover of Vogue.

In 1996, Person 2 took a job at the University of Chicago as associate dean of student services, and created the school’s first community service program.

Person 1 has been named the winner of Vanity Fair’s International Best-Dressed list for 2008.

Person 2 studied sociology and African-American Studies at Princeton, and graduated in 1985.

Person 1 was a guest on the popular television show “The View” in June 2008.

Person 2 studied at Harvard Law School.

Person 1 is considered to be one of the most influential individuals currently shaping American style and fashion.

Person 2 has worked as a lawyer at a corporate law firm, an assistant commissioner of planning and development, and the executive director of the Chicago chapter of

Public Allies — a program that encourages public service.

Person 1 is married and has two girls.

Person 2 is married and has two girls.

Both Person 1 and Person 2 grew up in Chicago.

OK, ready to make some guesses? Can you name Person 1? How about Person 2?

Well as it turns out — and you may be surprised to read this, so make sure you’re sitting down — Person 1 is in fact Person 2, and Person 2 is without a doubt Person 1.

So who is this mystery person you’ve been reading about up to this point? Any last guesses?

If you guessed Michelle Obama for Person 1, give yourself a pat on the back. You’ve obviously been paying attention to the news in the last six months. Now, if you didn’t guess Michelle Obama for Person 2, don’t feel too bad because, to be honest, we’re not all that surprised.

To be frank, we’re tired of they way Obama is being depicted in the media. We feel that, while there is nothing wrong with being a fashion role model for women all over the world, America should stop focusing so much on praising the first lady for her style. Instead of questioning the appropriateness of Obama going sleeveless at the next formal White House event, or designating an entire news segment around which designer her latest G20 outfit came from, the media needs to shed light on the numerous impressive accomplishments she has made in her life, and how this record of accomplishments might positively influence the changes she could potentially bring to Americans in the near future.
