2. He prays – because Lord knows all the things, people, situations, issues and emergencies that the President has to deal with that makes it into the news. Now imagine all the things we don’t hear about! Since before the election, President Obama has relied on prayer to help him push through.

7. His Wife Is His Ultimate Teammate – Michelle has been President Obama’s rock, conscious, and trusted advisor since day 1. President Obama was quoted as saying in 2006 that it would be up to Michelle if he would run for office or not. Now, look at them both. Through communication, honesty and teamwork, you can just see the love.
