Do you get the feeling that these two women like each other?
First Lady Michelle Obama headed to Chicago on Thursday for a taping of "The Oprah Winfrey Show." Obama's interview is said to be focused on ways that the nation can support families who have a member in the United States military.
The show will air next week and comes at a time when Mrs. Obama has been very much in the public eye. On Wednesday, the first lady announced that she was forming a partnership with Wal-Mart to help combat childhood obesity. Executives from the retail giant said they would put pressure on their suppliers to lower sodium and sugar content in foods sold at the store.
On Tuesday, Obama grabbed the nation's attention not for what she said, but for what she wore. At the state dinner honoring Chinese President Hu Jintao, Obama's red Alexander McQueen dress became a much discussed topic.
Of course, Obama has often been the recipient of publicity from Winfrey, having palled around together on the campaign trail, appeared on her show and graced the cover of "O" magazine.
