President Barack Obama and First Lady Michelle Obama arrive at Cleveland-Hopkins International Airport, October 17
Time: At a fundraiser for Ohio Gov. Ted Strickland and Ohio’s Democratic Party FLOTUS introduced POTUS as “the love of my life, though he doesn’t always think it. And more importantly, the President of the United States.”
He later demurred that: “It is not true that more importantly I am the President of the United States. More importantly, I am Michelle Obama’s husband, and Malia and Sasha’s father, and Michelle has put up with me through thick and thin, and I’m grateful for her each and every day.”
“So it’s fun having her along on this road trip,” he added. “You know, usually I am all by myself, and I listen to my iPod. We had a wonderful conversation on the way here (comic pause) and she’s telling me what I should do. It’s true.”
The audienced laughed.
“You think I’m joking. I’m not. I have witnesses.”
And then he laughed.
