A French Embrace

And after meeting the Queen, now its time for a "French embrace" for Mrs O. (Move over, Carla - Michelle's the new talk of the town!)

Also couple more pictures of the meeting from this behind the scenes gallery with Time magazine photographer Callie Shell.
When the Obamas Met the Sarkozys

The gallery also includes priceless picture. (We knew she could dance - from the clip at Ellen's show pre-election. ;))
