“I recognize that most of you are here to see Michelle”

…. “I recognize that most of you are here to see Michelle,” Obama joked. “I always explain I rank fifth in the hierarchy in the White House. There’s Michelle, my mother-in-law, the two girls and Bo. So that actually makes it six. In terms of star wattage, people come to the White House and say, Where’s Michelle?”

The president then publicly hailed his wife: “Some of you know that Michelle had some skepticism about a life in politics. I think that’s well known. And so the grace and the strength and the poise and the warmth that she has brought to an extraordinarily difficult task as first lady and still being the best mom couldn’t make me prouder. I’m very pleased she’s here. This is sort of our date night.”

1. Smart men have figured our that our wife is the better half

That she is the rock we stand on and that we wouldn't be where we are without her.

The President is a smart man, he knows where he stands.

2. You know, we are really extraordinary beings

but one woman for all you guys is more than any of us could bear. Perhaps each of you could celebrate your own wife and all you smart men will know that your wives are your better halves.

4. “I recognize that most of you are here to see Michelle”

Replace "Michelle" with "Jackie" and that is a word for word quote from JFK.

6. Not quite.

I don't think so, not word for word. This is what Kennedy said:

I am the man who accompanied Jacqueline Kennedy to Paris, and I have enjoyed it.

5. That reminds me of JFK's comment

when he and Jackie first visited Paris - that he was "the man who accompanied Mrs. Kennedy on her trip." Stylish, self-depracating humor shows class.

7. Ya gotta love this team.

Look at Pic #1. You can see in his eyes that being President is secondary
to him even though he has been a fantastic President. Four more years!!

10. I'm not much for calling a man good looking but I'll take exception this time

It goes without saying that Michele is one beautiful woman. Hey all the ones he mentions actually are pretty people. As my mom would say beauty starts at the heart and works its way out. If it makes it all the way to where others can see it then you are truly a beautiful person.
