Barack and Michelle Obama should be highly flattered…or annoyed.
In recent weeks, both the President and the First Lady have been featured in advertisements, without giving their consent or approval. First, Michelle Obama was featured in PETA’s newest ‘Fur-Free and Fabulous’ ad, alongside Oprah Winfrey, Carrie Underwood and Tyra Banks. PETA admits that they did not ask for the White House’s consent to use the First Lady in the ad. However, since the First Lady swore off fur in a statement back in June, PETA felt this was enough leverage to use Mrs. Obama in their ad. Really, PETA?
