Guys, I’m going to Obama’s campaign headquarters tomorrow.
This is officially the best AWP ever.

For the first eight years of our marriage, [Michelle and I] were paying more in student loans than what we were paying for our mortgage. So we know what this is about.
And we were lucky to land good jobs with a steady income. But we only finished paying off our student loans—check this out, all right, I’m the President of the United States—we only finished paying off our student loans about eight years ago.

Chicago HQ, 2011 versus 2012: What a difference a year makes.
I’ve been here! It’s somehow calm and busy all at the same time. And I picked up my handy Barack Obama Made in the USA mug—whoever thought of putting the birth certificate on the back is a GENIUS.

Does he love her, or what?!
I love that it seems like he’s completely in awe of her. Which, duh, of course we all are. But you really do get the sense that he still can’t quite believe she let him take her out for a movie and ice cream all those years ago:
I asked her out. She refused. I kept asking. She kept refusing.
“I’m your adviser,” she said. “It’s not appropriate.” Finally, I offered to quit my job, and at last she relented. On our first date, I treated her to the finest ice cream Baskin-Robbins had to offer, our dinner table doubling as the curb. I kissed her, and it tasted like chocolate.
I had known those student loans were going to get me a great education, but I had no idea they’d get me my first date with the love of my life.” (via)
