When Barack Obama won the 2008 presidential election, he also won a long-running issue along with his wife Michelle. Unlike her doubts, politics now seemed like a worthwhile, even noble pursuit. Jointly they planned a White House life that would be as normal and sane as is possible.

Then they moved in.

In the Obamas, Jodi Kantor takes us deep inside the White House because they try to grapple using their new roles, change the united states, raise children, preserve friendships, and find out what this means to be the first black Chief executive and First Lady. Filled with riveting details and insight to their collaboration, feelings and personalities, and written with a keen attention for the ironies of public lifestyle, THE OBAMAS is an close portrait that will surprise even visitors who believed they understood the President and First Woman.
