This year, former First Lady Michelle Obama turns 54 years old. The woman has literally transformed the lives of young women around the world by showcasing just how graceful, poised and beautiful a woman in the highest office, who looks like them, can be.
Her husband, former POTUS, Barack notices that and shares that with her every chance he gets. Here's just a few example of Barack loves on his wife Michelle.
1. He sent one of the most beautiful twitter messages.
"To the girl from the South Side who took on a role she didn't ask for and made it her own: Happy Birthday, Michelle," Obama tweeted using his official @POTUS Twitter handle.
"I love you."
The tweet was attached to an image of the couple sitting in the back of a golf cart while dressed for the Inaugural Ball in Washington, DC, on January 20, 2009.
In the photograph taken by official White House photographer Pete Souza, the couple are gesturing with their hands to the camera as they are carted off to the festivities.
2. He also called out her full name in his farewell speech.
3. He tried to sneak a peek at her during an official White House ceremony.
4. He told her something sexy.
5. He protected her assets from the wind (and the public).
6. He wasn't afraid to show her PDA (public display of affection) even in the beginning.
7. He held her tight on the campaign trail.
8. A gentleman always gives his lady his jacket.
9. He always tries to get a kiss.
10. He makes her his partner in life
