"How will Michelle Obama feel as she becomes what she has long resisted - an extension of her husband?" asked Rebecca Traister in a Salon article called "The Momification of Michelle Obama...

John Reed, the former CEO of Citibank, is among the group of individuals who recruiters say should be on any bank's short list. Henry Paulson, the former Treasury Secretary, could be a candidate as well, though some question whether a Paulson appointment would win points with the current Administration...
