I don't think about him as "Barack", and I'm glad to hear you say the same thing. I don't know why I don't, but I don't.

In the same way, I never think of Michelle as "Mrs. Obama" either.

They are most definitely the real, true, genuine articles - and that part comes through. It's not something someone can fake.

I saw a comment earlier where someone was hoping that they continue to be seen and visible through the mid-terms because they are the utmost reminder of what we had and what we have lost. I echo that sentiment. I hope they will be very active and involved.
