A picture paints two relationships



A lot of noise has been made about the relationship between President Obama and Michelle. Back in September, there was an article on Huffington Post by Kathlyn and Gary Hendricks about the Obama relationship, describing it as a merger of equals and postulating on the benefit that would bring to the office. 

This picture that I snapped from NBC is an illustration of that point. Laura hangs off Pres. Bush's arm in a more classic 'stand by your man' pose. Contrast that by the 'side by side' hand-holding of the Obamas. It will be interesting to see the role Michelle will play in the coming years.
