Michelle and Barack Obama left their fans “blushing” when they discussed their perfect date night at the “sexy” new Obama Presidential Center in Chicago.
The 19.3-acre campus opened to the public on June 19, 2026, and features a museum, which shares the story of Barack and Michelle’s “historic presidency, and stories of people and events that influenced their continued legacy.”
It also boasts public spaces, a new library, a basketball court, and dining options.
In a new video Michelle shared, which you can watch above, the couple agrees that the center would have been the perfect location for them to go on a date.
“Oh, this would’ve been THE date,” Michelle said as Barack laughed. “I mean, this would’ve been like ‘Oh, this dude is cool.'”
Michelle then described the presidential center as a “sexy environment,” adding: “This is a date vibe.”
She then pointed out the textile installation by Nick Cave and Marie Watt and artwork by Mark Bradford, before suggesting couples could get a drink and “a beautiful meal” at Tafari’s Kitchen, “because that space is so elegant.”
“And there are those comfy sofas after you’ve had a date, and then you put your arm around your date, and then we talk about life, and it gives you a chance to see if your date knows anything about the world,” she added, looking at her husband who enthusiastically agreed.
