The First Marriage
JODI KANTOR October 26, 2009
Another Washington dusk, another motorcade, another intimate evening played out in public view. On Oct. 3, just a day after their failed Olympics bid in Copenhagen, Barack and Michelle Obama slipped into a Georgetown restaurant for one of their now-familiar date nights: this time, to toast their 17th wedding anniversary. As with their previous outings, even the dark photographs taken by passers-by and posted on the Web looked glamorous: the president tieless, in a suit; the first lady in a backless sheath.
The Obama date-night tradition stretches back to the days when the president spent half his time in Springfield, Ill., reuniting at week’s close with his wife, who kept a regular Friday manicure and hair appointment for the occasion. But five days before he ventured out for his anniversary dinner, the president lamented what has happened to his nights out with his wife.
“I would say the one time during our stay here in the White House so far that has. . . .” He paused so long in choosing his words that Michelle Obama, sitting alongside him, prompted him. “Has what?”
“Annoyed me,” the president answered.
“Don’t say it!” the first lady mock-warned. “Uh-oh.”
“Was when I took Michelle to New York and people made it into a political issue,” he continued, recalling the evening last spring when they flew to New York for dinner and a show, eliciting Republican gibes for spending federal money on their own entertainment.

I wondered that also. Bali trip before their marriage. BHO & Michelle in Bali in 90’s — early 90’s. I think he finished book in 1992, IIRC

you’re a wonder with photos. Where are the rings in 27 from? Are they current photos? Are they both on his wedding finger? They certainly don’t look like the same ring, do they (in post 27)?
That angle seems to show how rings in 27 could be the same ring. Vertical ridges on top; ornate on either side. Do you agree?
He is occupying the fricking office of the fricking motherloving President of the United States. He is the ultimte political anus - always spewing great clouds just to hear his own motherloving voice.
And he has the fricking gall to complain that some people don’t like him wasting taxpayer money in a severe economic downturn to go on a gosh-darned DATE with that witch who holds the leash on his testicles?
F him and anyone who has EVER fricking resembled the rosy pucker he calls a face!
that’s the first time I’ve ever seen a raised part in that pre-wedding ring.
[Their version of a State Dinner is the Wednesday night ‘rock star’ parties.]
Lol, someone else posted to me that they had one last Feburary and ‘will have’ one in November!
too bad we couldn’t isolate that ring; that raised part really looks like it could possibly make it the same ring, don’t you think?

Yes, but what about 43 and 45?
Poor Blackie-O cannot have a dinner date with her husband. It is not fair. They are normal people just like us
Compassionate victimization.
Political Whoring 101: If you can't hold them on the issues, be a victim. What the hell did they expect?
The no privacy issue coming up next.
I can’t tell in 43, but first pic in 45 is certainly a completely different ring.
