The most beautiful thing about President and First Lady Obama’s first dance of the night was the way their eyes shined when they looked at each other. So many times in past inaugurations we’ve seen two people who were raised in wealthy and powerful families robotically waltz their way through the inauguration balls as if they were straight out of charm school.
Tonight, we saw two people who didn’t come from wealth or power, and weren’t brought up with butlers and drivers. Tonight, we saw two real people who came from Middle America, where most of us reside. Tonight, it wasn’t a stuffy awkward ordeal, but a testament to solidarity.
Instead, we saw a man who right off the bat shouted, “First of all, how good-looking is my wife?” We saw beautiful awkwardness as they took the stage together, because they weren’t forced into dance lessons and schooled in how to be “proper” at a ball. We saw them look at each other, and cling to each other a little tighter, as if saying, “Don’t you leave me here alone, because I cannot do this without you by my side.” When he looks into her eyes, you can see that she is looking back. We saw a man who isn’t ashamed to tell the world how much he loves his wife.
If the Obama family does nothing else but to teach us how to strengthen our marriages and be parents to our children, then he has already done this country a great service. If the only new trend is that people want to stick it out through thick and thin, then we are winning a war in our own country and saving thousands of children from being casualties of divorce.
Michelle Obama was beautiful, as always, in her white chiffon skirted dress by Jason Wu. She showed America that it’s okay to be sexy and that you can do it with elegance. Sexy doesn’t have to be super thin, cleavage, and short skirts. When you look at Michelle Obama, you see a strong confident woman who is comfortable in her own skin.
Beyonce, who performed ‘At last’ with Etta James, saw the strength of the bond between them. They symbolize strength, unity, and change, and it brought Beyonce to tears to witness such a beautiful moment.
Here’s to the Obamas! May President Obama be a tool in God’s hands as he works tirelessly to save our country from sinking. May Michelle be the spark in his eye as he fights for change. May they stand together as a pillar of strength and a beacon of light for the world to see. Let them be an example to American families on how to bind together through thick and thin so we can weather any storm. Let us all take lessons from them on how to be better parents to our children. Good luck and Godspeed President Obama.

ENOUGH on the Obama's please get away from the white house and focus on our State and parenting!
You're right, this is a great message for parents. It is obvious the Obamas love each other, and their daughters, very much. Great post!
