[CoffeeCat]

14. Awww...the photo was shot in my state...

...of Iowa.

I love that the POTUS loves Iowa, because we sure love him!

I saw his final campaign speech in Des Moines, the night before election day. Simply historic.

[DonRedwood]

33. You are so lucky to have seen that!

I watched it online and it was wonderful...except for the lady behind him chewing her gum like crazy.

[CoffeeCat]

15. I love Michelle's dress too!

She has such excellent taste. I love the style and cut of her clothes, but also the gorgeous colors that she selects. She always looks impeccable, even in a casual, cute dress.

I so wish I had her toned arms. They are legendary!

[DonRedwood]

18. I don't know...some of those lines don't match up. Don't you watch Project Runway?!

Nina Garcia would be having a fit!

[Bucky]

59. Liberals. Sigh. Never satisfied, are ya?

That's probably a good thing.

[ailsagirl]

16. Really says it all. Those two people are extraordinary.

Geez, they act like newlyweds!!

[DonRedwood]

23. It makes me Happy that there are so many people out there who feel as I do

about Michelle and Prez! Thanks DonRedwood.. you have a super great weekend!

Giz: How did "The Photo" come about?

ST: This picture was taken in Dubuque, IA on August 15th. Iowa is always a pretty special place for the Obamas, since Iowans were really the first people outside of Chicago to embrace the Obama candidacy, and we had been on a bus tour for three days. This was the first event the First Lady had been at and they hadn't seen each other for a few days. Because I'm a total sap and am also relatively recently married, I find their relationship to be totally inspirational in terms of the respect they have for each other, so I always try to focus on them as a couple, rather than as public figures.

[WillyT]

25. K & R !!!

[skeewee08]

27. Love me some President O & FL Michelle

[colorado_ufo]

29. They're the "real deal" . . .

totally, genuinely in love, with a love that will still be strong when four more years of the insanity they live with is over.

[Amonester]

38. K&R

[Piasladic]

40. love

You can almost hear "I love you too."

[sarge43]

41. I'm glad our president has that kind of loving support right above the store.

Miss Ella says it best

[whathehell]

43. I absolutely love this picture. n/t

[dipsydoodle]

45. I posted that picture here on DU before midnight last Tuesday

US time and it was ignored. http://www.democraticunderground.com/10021742134

[ailsagirl]

48. You sure did, dipsydoodle. Doesn't that drive you nuts when someone else scoops you??

I was googling images of Michelle and Obama the other day (it was after the election) and I did see this photo, and I didn't recall seeing it before. I was going to use it, but then I realized it wasn't a new photo, as she was wearing a summer dress and we're into November. So I didn't, but I did think it was an amazing photo.

Kudos to you in finding and posting it!!!

[dipsydoodle]

52. Must confess that given your weather of late

I guessed it must be an oldie. It does however suit the occasion.

[ailsagirl]

53. It is truly awesome

(And I don't use that word lightly!)

[valerief]

46. Looks more believable than this one

[ailsagirl]

47. You may have a point...

but I do think there is a mutual respect and deep caring for one another.

[valerief]

57. Yup, but sex and respect are two different things. nt

[ailsagirl]

58. They sure are

Considering the ML scandal and all the scorn and ridicule he/they suffered because of it, I am amazed that he was able to carry on and even ultimately triumph! I don't hear a peep about the scandal anymore. That's pretty amazing when you're in the public eye like that!

But back to your point, yes, those two First Couples are very different.

[valerief]

60. Sex between consenting adults s/b none of our business. The real scandal is that they're

hyped as being our business.

[ailsagirl]

61. 'Tis true!! What people/consenting adults do is their own business.

[stuntcat]

56. awww that's kind cute

awww

[ailsagirl]

51. kick
