They are already one of the most adored and admired couples in Black America. And their union’s survival through the whirlwind of the White House for eight years has only endeared them to us even more.
Former President Barack Obama and first lady Michelle shared poignant and powerful Valentine’s Day messages on social media with each other and with the world.
“Happy Valentine’s Day, @MichelleObama. You make every day and every place better,” Barack Obama captioned on Instagram with a picture of he and his wife cuddled up in front of a beautiful panoramic background.
“Happy Valentine’s Day, @MichelleObama. You make every day and every place better.”
Mrs. Obama came back with a loving message of her own, only she decided to up the ante with her very own playlist especially curated for her man.
“Happy #ValentinesDay to my one and only, @BarackObama. To celebrate the occasion, I’m dedicating a little Valentine’s Day playlist to you! Click the link in my bio to hear the playlist. ❤❤❤,” she wrote on Instagram.
The Spotify playlist featured the likes of Beyoncé‘s “Halo” and the Etta James classic “At Last,” which the couple danced to during President Obama’s first inauguration.
Even if you don’t have a Valentine this year, you have to stop to absorb the positive energy that comes from the love between these two.
