Barack Obama and Michelle Obama’s family captured hearts during their time in the White House. Here are some of their most memorable moments together.
Former President Barack Obama and former First Lady Michelle Obama were the residents in the White House from 2008 to 2016. Obama held the office of President of the United States for two consecutive terms. In that time, the Democrat and his young family grew, with his daughters, Malia and Sasha, going from elementary and middle schoolers to college freshman before the nation’s eyes. Through it all, the Obamas maintained an honest and stoic front representing the United States on various trips throughout the world.
Barack and Michelle worked together consistently, and when it came to their marriage were always open and honest about their love and the times when things got difficult. The Obamas left an indelible impact on the nation and continue to do so.
