COUPLED UP: PRESIDENT OBAMA & FIRST LADY MICHELLE

May 14th, 2009

U.S. President Barack Obama and first lady Michelle Obama arrive for An Evening of Poetry, Music and the Spoken Word in the East Room of the White House Tuesday night in Washington, DC.

I know these pics are hella grainy, but I just loved the other couple in the background looking at the Obamas. Great shot by the photog!

Michelle and Barack met back while working at the same law firm in Chicago 1989. They eventually married in ’92 and have two daughters, Malia and Sasha together. (I’m sure you knew all this though)…

    I’m glad Michelle didn’t get the horrible Presidential Wife hair cut that all the past President wives had….even Hilary

    Side bar:
    The historical factor of Barack is happening daily.
    Barack is not doing anything any past Prez hasn’t done, but he’s the first black President to do it, so whatever he does is, history truly in the making.

    I am so proud of my First Lady and President Barack Obama. They are doing an amazing job in my opinion. There will be a lot of tests and challenges for this new president, but I am so confident that he will seek the advice of his lovely wife and together they lead this great Country in the right direction.

    On another note, do ya’ll see how FLY Mrs. Obama is!?! That lady is FIERCE, she is soooo REGAL. I love it!

    Michelle Obama is a 150% real black woman. No weave, butt pads or fake nose. She is beautiful, smart and a wonderful role model.

    This is a beautiful couple. I love how they aren’t afraid to be affectionate in public.

    hey jude

    look at em; watch out there now. just straight up proud. and w/ 2 beautiful children. so will somebody tell the folks at notre dame. that this president its about defending a woman’s choice, and not about abortion. sarah palin said when she was w/ child she made ths CHOICE not to ABORT her child under the circumstance she was dealt. she choose to have her child …… “capeesh” hello….. and as always you got the haters and non-appreciators led by hannitys nightly insanity. and fox and fiends [right wing extreme] are out in full force everyday and night. i laugh when them folks at fox have to twist the arms of the guess they have on, to say negative things about the president. but them folks all up in 1600 PENN they just continue stay above the fray
