We both got to see them at a special event they did to thank the Embassy staff and families. Both were so gracious, thankful, and definitely touched by what we do for them. They kept looking at the audience, thanking us, and took much more time than allotted to be with us. It was awesome.
On the rope line they shook many hands, and looked each of us in the eye. Really cool. I shook both the President and Mrs. Obama's hands and got to thank THEM for being in office.
I do have to say though, I am in love with Michelle Obama. Sorry Sandip, but it is true. She is amazing. The way she holds herself with that mixture of grace and normalcy. You read about it all the time and it is completely, 100% true. She is just one of those rare people that oozes humility but at the same time she can totally take you on brains and frankly muscle. Seriously awesome.
Now onto the pics. Sorry there are none of us with the Obamas, but you can still see them. Enjoy!

The scene at the event.
Oh there we are at the event. You can see the flags in the background.
Decorated the pool.
Ok one minute it is a blank podium, the next it has the Presidential seal on it. Seriously this thing appeared out of nowhere.
