PBO & Michelle Obama in NY

…. “I recognize that most of you are here to see Michelle,” Obama joked. “I always explain I rank fifth in the hierarchy in the White House. There’s Michelle, my mother-in-law, the two girls and Bo. So that actually makes it six. In terms of star wattage, people come to the White House and say, Where’s Michelle?”

The president then publicly hailed his wife: “Some of you know that Michelle had some skepticism about a life in politics. I think that’s well known. And so the grace and the strength and the poise and the warmth that she has brought to an extraordinarily difficult task as first lady and still being the best mom couldn’t make me prouder. I’m very pleased she’s here. This is sort of our date night.”
