Barack Obama Made This Touching Gesture at the Inauguration That Has People Swooning
We already knew that Barack and Michelle Obama were basically the cutest — anyone with eyes to glimpse these 12 heartwarming moments can see that — but they just may have had their sweetest moment of all while standing together at this morning’s Presidential inauguration.
In the midst of speech scandals, unbelievable fashion moments and a somewhat thinner-than-expected crowd, Barack made the tiniest of gestures toward his wife of 24 years, but it was enough to have those that caught it going gaga.

With one blink-and-you’ll-miss-it move, Obama lifts his wife’s hand to his mouth for a reassuring hand kiss in the midst of all the chaos. Can we get a closer look at that!?

Up next for these two lovebirds? A well deserved vacay!
Hi everybody! Back to the original handle. Is this thing still on? Michelle and I are off on a quick vacation, then we’ll get back to work.

We can only imagine the adorable moments these two will share on their time off in Palm Springs — Maybe, if they’re lucky, they’ll even let us in on a few via social media. (We’ll be watching!)
Bon voyage, guys. Bon voyage.
Do you think Barack and Michelle are the cutest couple in politics? Tells us over @BritandCo!
