WASHINGTON President Barack Obama and first lady Michelle Obama are getting their anniversary date night after all — just a few days late during a busy re-election campaign.

The Obamas arrived at Bourbon Steak in the Georgetown section of Washington, D.C., on Saturday night for a dinner to celebrate their 20th wedding anniversary. The couple hit the milestone on Wednesday, the day of the first presidential debate in Denver.

During the debate, the president wished his wife a happy anniversary and reminded her "a year from now" they wouldn't be marking the occasion in front of millions of viewers. Republican nominee Mitt Romney congratulated Obama, joking that the debate stage was "the most romantic place you could imagine — here with me."

Who ever commented on the face of Michelle Obama and the President ought to be ashame of her self or him slef. I wonder how you look like? A monster at best!
Do not judge a person on how they look. Judge them for what they stand for, the character and their beliefs. You have no right to judge a person- only God is the judge at the end- Got it?
Look your self in the mirror- I bet you are ugly in physical fetures as well as in your heart.
Go Obama/Biden! You have brought down unemplyment rate to the best level in 4 years- So now you GOP"s and lies. lies. lies Romney and Ryan- you are doomed. Ame people do not deserve a Presidential candidate who lies to the american people just so he can score on a debate. Shame ,shame shame.
Congratulations Pres and Mrs Obama for your 20th wedding anniversary, God bless you and hope you will many more!
And President Obama- knock the hell out of Romney on your next debate. Be aggresive and do not listen to your advisors to tell you be passive incase you hurt Americans feelings. You are a great debater- show them this time and please do not dissapoint your supporters!

For all you conservatives out there, I have an idea: Let's lock Obama in the Oval Office for days at a time. He can't leave, he can sleep on a cot, have his meals brought in. Once a week he gets to see Michelle and the kids, but not for long. No conjugal visits, for God's sake.

And no vacations like Bush took. Bush took 977 vacation days, and 77 trips to Texas on Air Force One, at about $260,000 a trip, or $20 million. We certainly wouldn't want Obama doing that - which he hasn't come close to, by the way.

Without a doubt the coolest dude to ever party in the white house with exception of Billy Carter. Billy had to stay home most of the time to run the gas station. I am not sure Jimmy had sense enough to run the gas station. Our President can sing and dance and has a bounce when he walks. He has the smooth moves on the court and naturally he can jump too. A ladies man next to none(eye candy). Michelle is truly a lucky ladie.

Happy 20th anniversary, Mr President.

I wonder how many seconds it's going to take for the Rush-bots to come here and start whining about the Obama's "going to a fancy restaurant at taxpayer's expense."

Or how horrible it is that Barack took time away from "running the country" to take his wife out for dinner for their two-decade anniversary. (He should probably never sleep, either. How DARE he sleep when he's supposed to be running the country!!)

Of course, both of those things were perfectly acceptable when a Republican president did them.
