...They Flirt... The Obamas tease each other in interviews, touch each other affectionately (sometimes on the posterior), and aren’t afraid of the occasional hot date. “Not to be crass, but you could tell by the look on his face that he knew he was getting some that night,” a friend of mine mentioned after we saw the pictures of the Obamas smiling and heading to their car after their dinner at Spiaggia soon after Barack’s victory.
This is highly encouraging to married couples—the Obamas have been married for almost 17 years, and they can keep the spark alive, especially after the extra stress placed on their relationship by the media exposure and hardships of politics. When the Obamas make eye contact and smirk at each other in a way you can tell is just between them, it makes me hope that after a few decades together, my husband and I can still have that kind of fun.
