@michelledarling: "“Barack, you gotta look at me.” Former First Lady Michelle Obama brought her husband to tears Thursday during the grand opening of the Obama Presidential Center in Chicago. As Michelle Obama began a portion of her speech dedicated to her husband, she noticed the former president looking down. Smiling, she paused and told him, “Barack, you gotta look at me,” drawing laughter from the crowd. She then delivered a heartfelt tribute, praising her husband’s “stubborn optimism,” “unflinching courage,” and “unshakable moral fiber” through years of public service and intense scrutiny. “You told me all those years ago that you couldn’t promise me the world, but you could promise me an interesting life,” she said. “And of course, you outdid yourself and managed to give me both.” As the audience applauded, cameras captured an emotional Barack Obama wiping away tears while listening to the tribute.".
