President Barack Obama & First Lady Michelle Obama At Odds With Oprah?!

Where was Oprah? All weekend we watched as President Obama, the First Lady and celebs prepared for the 2013 Presidential Inauguration and Ball. But someone was clearly out of site. And that’s Lady O.

Back in 2009, Oprah was one of Obama’s biggest supporters. She even invited the then governor on her daytime talk show, and single-handedly, introduced him to millions of Americans. She was even given credit for helping him win the election when she donated millions to his 2008-2009 campaign. However, this time around Oprah has been surprisingly quiet. So we’re curious. Could something be wrong between the Obamas and the talk show queen? We certainly hope not!

Oprah was not only visibly absent from all the Inaugural fuss this week she also seemed less enthusiast during Obama’s 2012 re-election. In fact, we can’t remember her being on the campaign trail. Can you? Unless, she was a silent sponsor of course.

President Barack Obama & First Lady Michelle Obama 2013 Inaugural Ball First Dance (Video)

Following the inaugural ceremony and parade, The President and First Lady were commemorated at the Inaugural Ball. President Obama was the first to make his appearance before introducing his lovely wife. The couple then joined hands and took their first dance of the night to Al Green’s “Let’s Stay Together” sung by Jennifer Hudson. The song is a favorite of the President. A few years ago it sang it while delivering a speech and wowed the crowd.

The First Lady wore a red Jason Wu gown while the President wore a black and white tuxedo. Jason Wu seems to be a favorite designer of Mrs. Obama. He was also the designer she wore for the 2009 Inaugural Ball.

At Last! The President & First Lady


It was such a proud day in history when the now President Barack Obama and First Lady Michelle Obama swore in around mid-day yesterday. Just about everyone I know and around the world watched and waited for that very moment. It was all that everyone talked about, on your commute to work and back home, to school, while dining with friends or watching the events unfold on your television. It was a moment filled with hope and emotion as well as inspiration. I get the feeling that many people are inspired to do better and be better. President Barack Obama is living proof that if you have a dream they can very well come true.

The President and First Lady took their first dance steps while being serenaded by Beyonce singing the Etta James hit, ‘At Last’. I loved the way they interacted with each other. This is definitely not a political marriage but a sincere and loving one. Each ball they attended and each time they danced, 10 times to be exact, they were more relaxed and enjoyed each other. It was funny when Pres. Obama kept stepping on her dress and she kept having to adjust its tail, giving him that “if you step on this dress one more time” look, very funny moment.
