Great! I can’t wait to pick this up.

black pride…we should be proud people;;lift our head up HIGHER and say we finally made it.

Yes WE DID.

Nice covers….Michelle is doing it!

Those two are a true power couple in every sense of the word!
Love them!

I call my first lady Michelle-O because she is too sharp. God has blessed us to have not just a black president (that’s right because he was black before he won), but he has blessed us to see a different narrative about black people. While there are some who have already tried to tarnish our joy, just remember, God is doing something new through this couple of God. We ought to thank Him. We have pride, we have family values, and yes we have class.

Now that is what I call a collector’s item. I’ve never seen a finer Essence cover and I’m reading the December issue right now.

They both look great.

Awesome. The world has embraced them both. President Obama will “do the damn thing” no doubt. They are both highly intelligent and we have yet to the see what they are made of.It’s feels GOOD!

NOW THOSE ARE BEAUTIFUL COVERS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I CANNOT WAIT TO GET BOTH OF THEM!!!!!!!!! JUST makes me smile from ear to ear!!!!!!!! ILOVE IT!!!!!!! LUUUVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVV IT!!!!!!!!!!! YES WE CAN!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I’m not mad at Essence. They know they will have the highest sales ever by placing our First Family Elect on the historical day in January. I’ll be at the newstand bright and early

I love both covers.
Seeing Mr President Barack Obama on the cover brought tears to my eyes ! ! ! I am so looking forward to the change that’s coming ! ! ! !

I feel blessed that I was able to be apart of history. I am so proud of Barack and Michelle Obama. I am sure that Barack will be one of if not the greatest president in history.

Rosa Parks sat, so Martin Luther King could march; Martin Luther King marched, so Barack Obama could run; and Barack Obama ran, so our children could fly.

I love this so much….i feel so proud! awww i have a tear in my eye

Michelle looks radiant..absolutely gorgeous on the cover. I love me some uncle obama but why does he always have to have his arms folded on his cover shots?? I recommend squinting and smiling with his eyes while his hands are framing his face..give me more Barack!! But nonetheless..that is a very beautiful couple. Congrats to the Obamas!

BEAUTIFUL!!!!

Yay! I was sooo hoping they’d choose essence over vogue!!! Wohoo! Now how do I get my hands on those in the UK….

I will at the newsstands waiting on my copy. I am picking up both and the Ebony issue is very nice also.

@ #3, Flyguy,

I agree! When I opened the page and saw them, especially Michelle, I just got a big grin on my face. Michelle is FABULOUS!!! LOVE THEM! Beautiful. I am so proud of both of them.

BEAUTIFUL…….

MICHELLE LOOKS BEATIFUL BUT CAN WE SAY………….PHOTOSHOP????????
JUST SAYING BUT I STILL HAVE MAD LOVE FOR HER AND UNCLE BARRACK

I agree they are both dark both of them are nearly the same color michelle is like one shade darker than barack. Don’t worry people they are still black even though they are not dark skinned they is no need to try to enhance or make them more black come on essence!

I love looking at these covers.
