My Girrrrrl Michelle Rocks Out on the Street

When I watched Sesame Street as a kid, I couldn't have imagined ever seeing a Black president much less seeing our Black first lady on the freaking show!!

As if I needed another reason to love the Obamas, our beautiful first lady rocked it out on yesterday's Sesame Street and helped the show celebrate their 40th year!! ::sigh:: so many childhood memories.
