When I tuned into CNN yesterday, I remarked to Kimberly that before Barack stepped on stage, Michelle gave him a hug, a solid glare into his eyes, dapped him up, then pointed to him as if to say ‘you da man’.
I was wondering if anyone else picked up on it, but I knew it’d be something I’d remember for awhile.
Well, I found the pics proving it, so enjoy!

All in all, these are probably two of my favorite moments from this campaign thus far.
Update: CNN has picked it up
Update 2: Video below courtesy of the Chicago Tribune. Interestingly, they’re also providing some commentary on Barack’s little pat on Michelle’s lower back. Wow, people really are in love with this man to obsess over everything he does.

Those are great pics! I did notice it at the moment it occurred … it dawned on me that most of Hillary’s supporters wouldn’t have a clue what they were doing (smile)…
peace, Villager

Can’t remember if it was before or after the dap but she told him she was proud of him.

Love them! They are so real, and she is in this man’s corner…all the way. Inspires me, but he adores her, and it shows. God’s hand is upon them, and we need to keep them covered in prayer. I am glad that he gave her the dap, and those who caught that know they are committed to each other, and there is no shame in their game.
I pray that they find a great church and a solid and balanced man and woman of GOD to shepherd them as they walk circumspectly in the Lord! Keep on keepin’ On, Barack and Michelle!

My husband and I saw this live and the both of us (we’re 20) yelled “oh snap!”; It was a great moment! For those of who DID not grow up in a suburban home, it made perfect sense. **HUGE SMILE**
