Yes its a very good article,though the "obama's" isn't as rare as one thinks. there are plenty of "black" relationships that are loving and healthy such as my parents. There are obama's on your street,at your job,church everywhere. now all people regardless of race and gender have things to work on. I do find it funny that black men are always told to step up after reading storys such as this. So women arent superficial and base a man on how he looks and how good he is in bed,what he drives etc? Please give me a break. Its a 2 way street. Its funny because there are some women on this post that would'nt have given obama a second look based on the condition of his car. Before he was even heard of on a world wide bases we all know that the local "homeboy" or thug was chased after more than Obama was.

Why all of sudden, since President Obama is in office. Black women or should I say black people now talk about "Finding Your Mr. Obama"? I believe there are plenty of men like President Obama in the world today. However, some of us don't give have not been as blessed as Mrs. Obama to meet such a man for what ever reason. I said find yourself and you will find that man that is destine to be yours. Also, I think the problems with us black people, we don't like work in our relationships. Relationships take alot time and patience.

Finding your Mr. Obama is a wonderful idea. This help men and women to set standards for future mates. Each person should have expected standards. One settles for anything, if expectations are not set. This is why we have so many women getting pregnant for men that really don't care to stick with them when learning that a baby is on the way. Ladies take any guy that comes just not to be alone. Mr. Harper Hill said in part “men will say what we ladies want to hear just to get what a man wants and afterward leave”. Mr. Steve Harvey said almost the same thing in his book. Yes, we have to "Find our Mr. Obama". Which one of us ladies do not want a Mr. Obama. I love his character. In fact, I want everything about him. Where is he for me? In fact, I have met men like Mr. Obama but these men are married. I know I will find my Mr. Obama.

I agree with everyone who said this is not idolizing the Obama's but only celebrating something you RARELY see displayed in the media. It's always the absent father or the dope dealing kids. It's nice to see another side to the black family and that we aren't the stereotypes that's been placed upon us. Keep doing your thing Michelle and Barack! Beautiful couple and beautiful family.

There's two lessons to be learn out of all this 1. there's a God. 2. You are not or We are not him.Love is seem through the heart not the eyes.. Love is all colors and very beautiful, and it is what it does. All hearts need to show more love. Thank you,

Everyone in the ObamaUniverse (blog) loves the PDA the Obamas are becoming famous for. There are lots of examples of strong black love in our local communities, but it is still nice to see an example in the mainstream media on a regular basis.

One positive thing that's definitely come from the article: the flow of dialogue. This relationship thing is the elephant in the room, and we're finally talking about it. Unfortunately, I haven't seen many happy relationships in my community nor immediate family. Of my friends from high school....I cannot count on any hand the number of happy marriages, but can count a while the number of heartbroken single moms. I cannot speak for other people experiences, only what my eyes have seen. I decicded a few years ago (early 20s) that looking for love simply was not worth the apparent risk and today still stand by my decision. Maybe, though, through honest dialogue we'll start to mend the wounds and see future generations avoid our mistakes.
