Find Out What Michelle Asked Barack Moments After Presidential Win: VIDEO

Sunday, November 16, 2008

In a new interview airing Sunday on CBS' 60 Minutes, President-elect Barack Obama and his wife, Michelle, reveal their first thoughts upon finding out they'll be moving into the White House in January.

When did the win sink in for Michelle?

"Well, I'm not sure if it really has sunk in," she reasons to CBS anchor Steve Kroft. (Watch a clip above). "I remember on the night we watched the returns, on one of the stations Barack's picture came up and it said 'President-elect Barack Obama.' I looked at him and said 'You are the 44th president of the United States of America. Wow, what a country we live in.'"

However, her husband remembers the night of Nov. 4 a little differently.

"Then she asked if I'd be taking the girls [Malia, 10, and Sasha, 7] to school in the morning," he jokes. "Well...maybe it wasn't at that moment!"
