Reading Faces + Aura Readings of Cindy McCain and Michelle Obama
July 30th, 2008 by Rose Rosetree
Yes, Blog-Buddies, in the August issue of my free e-zine, “Reading Life Deeper,” we have an article about reading faces of these two First Ladies in Waiting.
A second article contains aura readings of the two super-prominent wives.
Here I invite your comments and questions related to the zine articles.
To sign up to receive the free zine –that’s truly free (with no spam, ever, and easy subscribe/unsubscribe), click here.
For face readings, I use these two head shots, in no particular order, of Senator McCain’s wife, Cindy, and then of Senator Obama’s wife, Michelle.
I like having them in large form here, but I must admit to having a bit of challenge with filling up the space in between them, so let’s just be really upfront here and have me write in the tradition of so many bloggers: blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.
blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.
And let’s not neglect to give you a great chance to see, easily available, the other photos used for the zine. Comment away afterwards, Blog-Buddies.

My face read on these two ladies – Cindy McCain – hard driving, very opinionated, strong sense of right and wrong and the way things ought to be done. Not particularly open-minded. Smart, but not a deep thinker. Very black and white.
Michelle Obama – similar strong “get it done” personality, but much broader perspective – deeper thinker, consideration of more sides of the argument. More objective, open minded.
PAM, thanks for sharing. For those Blog-Buddies who haven’t heard of you before, you’re the host of http://www.aboutpeople.com . I wonder if you would would be willing to share exactly how you came to these perceptive conclusions.
Cindy McCain
Cindy has no upper lip—unusual for a woman, I think. She probably doesn’t talk about her inner thoughts and feelings. I guess that also gives her Blarney lips, since the bottom lip is ‘way bigger than the top.
She has a low eyebrows, so spontaneous speech. Her right eyebrow is straight, so she deals in facts in her public or work arena. The left brow is angled.
Cindy has up-angled eyes, showing optimism. I see or feel alot of sadness in her left eye and anger in left eyebrow (not face reading so much as my sensing or feeling it).
Cindy has a nose bonus, showing that her path in life is one of service. She has a straight-ish chin bottom and large chin–plenty of room to take it on the chin and not feel too guilty.
Michelle Obama
Michelle has very angled, high eyebrows. The height means she thinks before she speaks.
Her left lower eyelid is very curved—she is open to new people in her private life. Her eye looks sanpaku in the picture. Does she put hubby on a pedestal?
She has several pairs of “parenthesis” around her mouth—Rose calls the big ones powerline dimples and small ones lip extenders, I believe. These show that she is tactful, charming and has humility. The right side of her straight chin bottom is a little longer than the left. More room to “take it on the chin” in her public life?
Michelle’s lips are very defined. This shows she is chooses her words carefully and is a good speaker.
LISA W, well done! You’re right that lip proportions count, regardless of the overall lipfulness.
More interesting, even, about Cindy’s mouth is the extremely muscular lip texture. This represents a gift for moving people’s emotions. The potential challenge is coming on too strong. But given all the ways that Cindy shows extreme control, this challenge is undoubtedly overcome.
I am glad that both first ladies have a nose bonus because I would hope that those in the White House would have a bent for serving others through their work.
That is interesting how Michelle Obama’s lower eyelid curve can change so much. I had read that a curve can change like that, but it is something else to see it in pictures. I wonder if mine changes, too, with some strangers. People used to comment that I was “squinting” when I would listen to them. Maybe I was closing them out!
Also for Michelle, I bet that her groundedness would be a huge help to Barack in office since he is less grounded (and I guess the smoking might have been a grounding thing, too).
For Cindy McCain, is prosperity consciousness a soul-level gift? Could someone be born into poverty but have prosperity consciousness?
I was surprised by Cindy’s struggle with political wifehood at her high heart. I guess First Lady would be a different role than senator’s wife or managing a company. Even though Betty Ford might have had difficulties, First Ladies always project such an unerringly positive image of diplomacy. I never read what might be underneath! Or maybe I am just used to seeing Laura Bush.
DANA, interesting question about that prosperity consciousness as a soul-level gift. Someone could definitely be born into poverty but have prosperity consciousness.
Betty Ford definitely had difficulties and, of course, the pressures of being First Lady exacerbated them. Will it ever be raised as a campaign issue that Cindy McCain had such problems even before those pressures?
Cindy McCain’s databank of “personal enjoyment of political wifehood” at the high heart chakra must be what comes through to me in her left eye. Or maybe it’s just some aspect of her personal life, since it’s the left eye.
Also, her smile seems bigger on the left side, indicating that she’s a bigger giver in her personal life than in her professional or public life.
I’m so interested in how women are impacted by “giving” too much–by giving or doing or tolerating beyond the comfort zone.
For example, I wonder how John Edwards’ news of his affair, allegedgly told to his wife, Elizabeth Edwards, in 2006, affected her. She played the supporting wife and continued to publicly campaign for John. Cancer, which had been in remission, returned soon after, in 2007.
Women are taught to be supportive of others, even self-sacrificing, for the good of the family, their husband, children, etc. no matter what. However, following this “teaching” can come back to haunt us in many, many ways.
LISA W., your conclusion is especially eloquent. Thanks for this and your other recent comment.
I have a question about cheeks (and the leaderlike power style). Here is an excerpt from the August zine:
Michelle Obama: Leaderlike Power Style (Her face is widest at the cheeks.)
Uh-oh, this is how Michelle looks just like Hillary! This is the most in-your-face style of leadership. At the receiving end of her words and actions, you know you’ve been led. Yes, the potential challenge is coming across as “too strong.”
And here is an excerpt from a photojournalism blog comparing a recent painting of Michelle Obama by Elizabeth Peyton to a photograph of her:
“the facial expression in the picture makes Michelle looks harsh, mean, “bitchy”, with the high cheekbones, cutting stare, and pouty mouth.”
Here is a link to the website showing the painting and photo: http://www.bagnewsnotes.com/2008/11/your-turn-michelle-sasha-and-elizabeth.html#comments
Now, granted, that was just one person’s comment, but his mention of “bitchy” coming right before “with the high cheekbones” caught my attention.
Question: Is the challenge of “coming across too strong” mostly a challenge for women due to cultural influences and values? Or is there something absolutely challenging for people with leaderlike cheeks no matter what?
LISAW, what a beautifully researched and thoughtful question.
Both your questions are correct:
“Is there something absolutely challenging for people with leaderlike cheeks no matter what?” Yes, and the challenge is especially strong if the powerhouse style is combined with high office. Take President Lincoln for example. To many of us, he is the greatest president the U.S. has had yet. During his lifetime, however, Lincoln was criticized savagely. His power style seemed jarring to his enemies.
However, your second question is true as well. The challenge of “coming across too strong” is especially a challenge for women due to cultural influences and values.
How can a woman today win? If women, especially those in politics, come across as thoughtful or vulnerable, it’s called “weak.” If women seem strong and decisive, it’s called “bitchy.”
Some day, perhaps, we will be able to laugh with our grandaughters about how, when Hillary Clinton first ran for president, airports across the nation (among other shopping venues) sold nutcrackers to mock her. As as in “any woman who runs for high public office really is destructive to men.”
Hopefully, we will be able to laugh because within the next decades America will have elected a qualified woman to the presidency.
Of course, my personal dream includes having people by the year 2012 or later ALL be very skilled in various forms of Deeper Perception. Appreciating the true person within, the individual, can help us all to evolve beyond ridiculous gender (and other) stereotypes.
