First lady Michelle Obama's 46th birthday is on Sunday, just a few days before President Obama marks the first anniversary of his inauguration.
People magazine sat down with the first couple to talk about the past year.
Betsy Gleick, People's executive editor, filled "Early Show" viewers in on the candid session.
Gleick said the headline of the interview is that Michelle and Barack are optimistic about the country's direction, but that there are huge challenges ahead for the U.S.
"Early Show" co-anchor Harry Smith pointed out that the president talked a lot about "being in the bubble" of the powerful office.
Gleick called Barack's words on the subject "touching."
"He just talked about the loneliness of the job. And some of the loneliness, he embraces. He realizes that he has big decisions that he alone needs to make," she said. "But he misses being out among regular people."
Smith said rhe People magazine photo spread is among the best he's seen of the couple.
Gleick said the pictures show the genuine affection between the President and first lady.

Remember when President Bush was crucified by the media for living in a 'bubble'? Now it's "poor, poor Bawwy, he' whives in a bubble."
Hey, Barry, if you're so lonely get the **** out and leave us alone.

It is hard for an empty suit to find friends when you have nothing.

Repulsive and sickening narcissisists like Soetero are never lonely because the world revolves around themselves.

Obama always talks as though he was drafted into the presidency. For God’s sake, if the jobs too tough for you simply resign.

Maybe Obama can figure out a way into Hell where he can be with many of his friends and revered ones. That way he won't be so lonely.

LONELY?!!!! He just had twenty eight Christmas Holiday parties! Maybe he needs to talk to a soldier that is on guard duty at night and he'll have a real idea what lonely is all about. FUBO!

"But he misses being out among regular people." Did he really say this? Who does he think he is?

A party every third night. Travelling the world, getting to be home with his children and he’s whining.
