Barack & Michelle Obama - Eyes Closed
Callie Shell

This tender shot of Barack & Michelle Obama was taken on January 8, 2008, the morning of the New Hampshire primary.

"Michelle Obama had been campaigning separately all week. In the first few months of 2008 their private time seemed to consist of a few crossover moments in back hallways before rallies. This moment was rare and you could tell they just loved being able to sit together." - Callie Shell
