Michelle & Barack Obama ♥♥ First Dance of First Couple of the Whole World! President Barack Obama and First Lady Michelle Obama, he in a white tie and tux, she in a white evening gown by Jason Wu, started the tour of inaugural balls tonight which cap the swearing-in of the 44th president. They started at "the Neighborhood Ball,'' which the president called one of the most important tonight. "This campaign was organized neighborhood by neighborhood,'' said Obama, calling himself a neighborhood kind of guy - at a ball in the Washington Convention Center where tickets were dispensed for little cost to a lot of people. He cut his teeth on neighborhood work, he told the crowd. "Ad if you think about it, neighborhood starts with neighbor,'' Obama said. "This ball is the one which captures best, I think, the spirit of this campaign... We are going to need you... because together we are going to change America.'' But for now, all the president and first lady were changing were hands as they took a turn on the dance stage. They could have danced all night. They had several more balls to attend, including the Commander-in-Chief ball at the National Building Museum, where representatives of all the military branches turn out in dress uniform for the new commander. This, he said, was the other important one of the night.
