Michelle Obama thinks the Barack Obama Presidential Centre is the perfect spot for a “sexy” date.
The former President of the United States and his First Lady, who had their first date at a museum, have opened up about the new museum, library and education project in Chicago, which is found on a 19.3-acre campus on the south side of the city and also features event spaces and public parks.
In an Instagram post, Michelle wrote: “Barack and I went to a museum on our first date.
“So take it from us: the Obama Presidential Centre campus has just the right vibe for you and your boo.”
In a video shared with her follows, Michelle described the centre as a perfect date spot for her and her husband.
As Barack laughed, she added: “This would’ve been like ‘Oh, this dude is cool.’ “
She described it as a “sexy environment”, and insisted: “This is a date vibe.”
The Presidential Centre also includes a textile installation from Nick Cave and Marie Watt, plus artwork by Mark Bradford.
Michelle said: “And there are those comfy sofas after you’ve had a date, and then you put your arm around your date, and then we talk about life, and it gives you a chance to see if your date knows anything about the world.”
She encouraged potential couples to enjoy a drink at Tarafi’s Kitchen, named in honour of former White House chef Tafari Campbell.
And Michelle pointed out “there’s nothing more romantic” than getting to sit out on the grass with a blanket.
Meanwhile, the famous couple recently reflected on the early days of their relationship in Chicago.
Michelle said: “When we started dating, he was renting a crappy little apartment on 53rd Street from a friend. No AC. Windows were open. Saturday nights would be crazy. Baskin-Robbins was a place we’d go to get ice cream. He wrote about our first kiss being there.”
Barack added: “Sitting on the curb. There’s a plaque there now. I don’t know who put that up.”
Looking back on the beginning of their relationship, Barack said he immediately recognised Michelle’s character.
He said: “I knew almost immediately, and looks like I made a pretty good bet, that this was a one-of-a-kind woman with the integrity and character, smarts and values to make me better.”
Barack continued: “Just being with her made me better, and she still does. And that she would give our kids a foundation that would pay off for them — and that’s in fact what’s happened.”
