Thank you, @michelleobama and @barackobama. It is an honor. #Repost @huffpost ・・・ Barack and Michelle Obama shared a few moving words that garnered both applause and laughs following the unveiling of their official White House portraits. “When future generations walk these halls and look up at these portraits, I hope they get a better honest sense of who Michelle and I were. And I hope they leave with a deeper understanding that if we could make it here, maybe they can, too,” said the former president. He also shouted out artist Sharon Sprung for capturing everything he loved about Michelle: “Her grace, her intelligence, and the fact that she’s fine.” “This day isn’t about me or Barack, it’s not even about these beautiful paintings,” the former first lady reflected. “It’s about telling that fuller story, a story that includes every single American and every single corner of the country so that our kids and grandkids can see something more for themselves.” #MichelleObama #BarackObama
