If you thought that the most powerful person in the world, Barack Obama, the super popular president of US has it all, think again. The President had to sacrifice a lot to achieve the success that he relishes today, most to be affected being his better half, Michelle Obama.

While on campaign for months together Obama would be away from home and family, it only bought the family closer though. "You know, this entire year and a half has brought us closer together as a family. And we managed to stay close and become even closer with Barack gone most of an entire two year period. And now, we get to be together under the one roof, having dinners together," says Michelle.

"I envision the kids coming home from school and being able to run across the way to the Oval Office and see their dad before they start their homework. And having breakfast. And he'll be there to tuck them in at night. And, you know, again, you know, there'll be moments of deep seriousness and times of great focus. But, you know, we'll be together doing that. And that gives me reason to be very excited," she added.

The couple share various hilarious moments on his return home to Chicago, most funny being the President washing dishes and finding it soothing. "You? Since when was it ever soothing for you to wash the dishes? asks the first Lady. Obama said: "You know, when I had to do it. I'd make it into a soothing thing."

Obama is quizzed about the time Michelle would require to take up the task of the First Lady, to which the President replies, "I think Michelle is gonna design her own role. I think she's gonna set her own path. But I here's one thing I know about Michelle she's serious when she talks about being a mom. That's why our girls are so wonderful. I'd love to take credit for it. But this is the one who deserves most of the credit."

The couple's main immediate focus remains their children. They also care deeply for the military family and the work-family balance. The Obamas also take up the issue of education and wish to make a difference to the community they are living in.
