As the Obamas prepare to leave the White House, we are forced to say goodbye to perhaps the most adorable couple to grace the Oval Office. Through the good times, and the bad, Barack and Michelle Obama have remained national symbols of a functional marriage and respectable love. Their Presidential duties may be over, but our obsession with their union will live on. Here are 12 times that Barack and Michelle Obama were real life relationship goals:
1. When President Obama started it off right from the beginning with his introduction of the love of his life, Michelle Obama, at the Democratic National Convention.
2. The time Barack showed his lady off to the world and she looked fabulous.
Thumbs up. No words needed.
3. That time they went to the USA vs. Brazil Olympic exhibition game and got caught smooching on the kiss cam.
I would do some wild things to be that kid sitting next to them.
4. The time they took in the fireworks together on the Fourth of July from the White House roof.
My heart can't take this deep kind of romance.
5. When they were the ULTIMATE King and Queen of the Inaugural Ball the first...
6. ...And second time.
Come on, just look at Barack bowing to his lady.
7. The time Michelle had just about enough of Barack's cellphone shenanigans.
We've all done this to a boyfriend a time or two, amirite or amirite? I wonder if he was texting Joe?
8. That time the Obamas held a BET event at the White House so they could get down with the get down.
They are TOTALLY in sync with each other.
9. The time Barack kept it real with us all about their marriage.
He was kidding, of course, because Barack and Michelle are PERFECT and will be together forever.
10. When Michelle had to tweak Barack's bow-tie to make sure her man was looking right.
You can tell the President appreciates her efforts.
11. The time they huddled together for warmth while taking in the sights and sounds of this past year's Tree Lighting Ceremony.
12. And finally, that time Barack teared up thanking his wife in his final farewell address to the American people.
Thank you, Barack and Michelle Obama, for everything you have done. We loved you (almost) as much as you love each other.
