President Obama’s Birthday Message for Michelle Basically Sums Up Why They’re Couple Goals

We’ve said it before, and we’ll say it again: Barack and Michelle Obama are the ultimate #RelationshipGoals. Because we weren’t already completely wrecked by his sweet and loving tribute to FLOTUS during his farewell address, the president shared an equally adorable message for Michelle on her 53rd birthday today via Twitter.

The tweet features that absolutely ~iconic~ image of he and Michelle riding through a parking garage after his first inauguration in 2009. Alongside it, POTUS wrote, referencing a quote from his farewell address last week, “To the girl from the South Side who took on a role she didn’t ask for and made it her own: Happy Birthday, Michelle. I love you.” AWW!

Nope, can’t handle it. Can’t the first family please just have mercy on us already? We’re not sure how much more we can take of the emotional overload that is the Obamas’ impending departure from the White House. If anything, let’s just use this as inspiration to find a man who will treat us like POTUS treats FLOTUS.
