65 Intimate Photos Of Barack & Michelle Obama’s Love That Will Make You Feel Weak In The Knees
In case you didn't know, Michelle Obama is celebrating her 53rd birthday today. She's been a pretty incredible First Lady, and the thought of her leaving the White House in just 2 days is not sitting well at all. Since I couldn't throw her a real party, I decided to honor her by rounding up a few photos of her and the President over the years, and what I found was an absolutely adorable love story.
Stolen kisses, warm embraces, and funny faces are everyday behaviour for this power couple. The pair have been best friends since their first movie date on the Southside of Chicago in 1989, and they're not afraid to let the world know. Not only is their affection for each other amazingly heartwarming, it's also a shining example of a love that has survived 27 years of monumental ups and downs.
Michelle was a champion of support during both of her husband's presidential campaigns, has openly supported marriage equality, and frequently travels to foreign countries to empower children living in poverty. She somehow also finds time to raise 2 beautiful daughters. Did I mention she's actually superwoman?
Cheers to a wonderful outgoing First Lady on her special day, and to the Obama family for their courage and leadership. We'll miss you, Michelle!

Barack And Michelle Obama, May 26, 1996
Sam Spade - you seem to be perseverating about Michelle's pregnancies. Some people are private about these things. In addition, these are only 30 pictures out of a 25-year marriage. There's something kind of creepy about your obsession with this. Take a look at Malia and tell me that is not her daughter. I suggest you consider not saying anything if you cannot say something nice about these personal photographs. Just Google "pictures of Michelle Obama Pregnant" and I bet you can get your itch scratched. Nobody cares except you.

Such a beautiful family can now go back to living a "normal" life. Unless he chooses to remain in politics. Of course it is still up in the air as to whether Michelle will run for the White house in 2020. Some say yes, others no. The next four years will tell.

What a beautiful family. I will miss them.
Obama wanted force on our World Trans-Pacific Partnership? Probably Most Evil Plan Ever.. !!! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rw7P0RGZQxQ He killed so many Innocent people. "Beautiful" Killer. He didn't care about humans, animals and environment.. signed 'Monsanto Protection Act.. Obama was inviting to white house for a meetings terrorist organization Islamic Brotherhood and rejected invitation from true Muslim Reform Movement, etc., etc..? "Beautiful and Cute" Obama and his wife..they are cute? FFS. No! They are stinking criminals.
I once read a book - the main character was a serial killer and his name was Maciek... :p
Me too x
To love one and kill hundreds of thousands of women and children in the middle East?! Hypocrisy.
Take a look at your own President dropping bombs in Syria. How many Syrian refugees has Russia taken in?
Not really hypocrisy of Mr and Mrs Obama, themselves, but it's certainly surprising how half the world seems to completely ignore the tens of thousands of bombs the US dropped on seven different countries during his term.
Merveilleux couple tellement charismatique, intelligent et humain, ils sont beaux et ont la "chance" de s'être trouvés l'un l'autre
