Barack Obama is honoring wife Michelle for being the “wonderful mother” that she is!
On Mother’s Day, the former president of the United States shared a beautiful photo of his family — including daughters Malia, 23, and Sasha, 20 — while penning Michelle a lovely note in honor of the holiday.
“Happy Mother’s Day! I hope you all let the moms and mother-figures in your life know how much they mean to you,” the politician wrote on Instagram.
“@MichelleObama, thank you for being a wonderful mother and role model to our daughters and to so many others around the world.”

Not to be outdone, Michelle also posted a message of her own, honoring her daughters as well as her mom, Marian Robinson.
“Happy #MothersDay! I’m so thankful for the love, guidance, and care that my mom has instilled in me,” the former first lady said. “I’ve shared so much of her wisdom with my own daughters over the years.”

On Friday, Michelle announced plans to install an exhibit called “Opening the White House” at the Obama Presidential Center to celebrate Marian and her legacy.
“It’s infused with so many of the values that my mother instilled in me, community, family, bringing people in, creating a warm, welcoming space where everyone feels at home,” Michelle said in a social media video.
The exhibit “will feature a scale replica of the East Room, where we held big dinners, replicas of the Blue Room, where we decorated a huge Christmas tree for the holidays, and also a replica of the South Lawn, where we hosted garden tours and Easter egg rolls, where we did state arrivals and so much more,” Michelle said.
During Barack’s presidency, Marian lived with the first family and was known as “Grandma-in-Chief.”
“I follow the rules at Michelle’s house. At my house, they’re my rules,” Marian said in an interview prior to Obama’s inauguration. “I know Michelle is strict… When I’m at their house, the girls are doing all the stuff their mother has told them to do. There’s not much left for me to do! But when they’re at my house, they don’t have to scrape the dishes — and they get to watch TV.”
Happy Mother’s Day to Michelle, Marian, and all the mothers and grandmothers of the world!
