Michelle Obama and Barack Obama have different styles when it comes to showing and receiving love — something that took time to get used to, she said on an April 25 episode of her Audible series "The Light Podcast."
(snip)
Michelle said that her husband is more verbally and physically affectionate because he and his family lived far apart and didn't get to see each other very often, whereas she grew up surrounded by extended family and considers expressing love as being present.
"One of the things that's different in how we show love is that because his family lived far away, and traveled a lot, he had to learn to love at a distance," the former first lady said.
Marriage counselor Gary Chapman created the five love languages in 1995, categorizing how each person wants to receive love: words of affirmation, acts of service, receiving gifts, quality time, and physical touch. While Michelle said Barack leans more towards words of affirmation and physical touch, she prefers acts of service and quality time.
"I grew up with everybody within eight blocks of each other," she said. "All my aunts, and uncles, and great uncles, and cousins, and everybody celebrated birthdays. So we were with each other, every weekend, twice a weekend. We were always together. So it was like, 'Mmm, bye. I don't have to tell you I love you because I'm going to see you Saturday.' So love, for me, was showing up. It was like, 'Yeah, yeah. Stop kissing me. Just do the laundry.'"

You will see more and more news articles about Michael. Probably too late to position ‘her’ for 2024, but she will be at the top of the Democratic ticket in 2028. You can take that to the bank.

These Michelle headlines are hilarious

So nice watching Bing and Grace Kelly in that video! Thanks for posting such a pleasant antidote.
BTW, Bing's summer house on Hayden Lake, Idaho is for rent for vacation stays if you want to reminisce more.

Yes, almost.
He has connections away from the public eye and plenty of money. He can hire a pro. Like Peter Macklin in the bestselling novels of Loren D. Estleman (Kill Zone, Roses Are Dead).

Gary Chapman created the five love languages in 1995, categorizing how each person wants to receive love: words of affirmation, acts of service, receiving gifts, quality time, and physical touch.Since people usually give what they would like to receive it's fairly easy to figure out which one or two it is...

I am convinced that the recent push for trans everything is to prepare the sheep for President Mike “Michelle” Obama at some point. Maybe even 2024 if Joe departs this mortal plane.

Simpler to say that she is about to go before a grand jury with information that will lead to the inditement of Hillary.
