An afro in the White House?

Hello everyone,

A week or so ago, a manipulated photo displayed First Lady Michelle Obama rocking a curly, bouncy fro. I loved the look but doubted that it was real. It turns out that the image was in fact doctored (the hair belongs to none other than the fabulous Mae of Naturalchica.com and Nikkimae2003). Many outlets discussed it, see below for a few examples:

According to The Root.com (http://www.theroot.com/views/singleminded-first-ladys-hair), there was a passionate response to the picture of the First Lady's hair. What do you think? Would you like to see the First Lady sporting an afro in the White House? Why or why not?
