looks like a GulfStream....probably privately chartered by the campaign although I know there are at least a few of them in the Presidential fleet....the markings on it don't look like the Air Force.

The plane is an air force gulfstream that is part of the military airlift wing at Andrews Air force Base. The first family always flies on military transport. It is a simple security measure, however the right wing will make a mountain out of a molehill because their base are mouth breathers who are operating on only one or two braincells and do not understand the security measures afforded to the POTUS and his family regardless of the party affiliation.

been married for a while and are still very close and connected to each other.

In a similar way, when Prince William got married last year, what I just loved was the way he and his younger brother Prince Harry behaved. Just like real brothers. I have two sons almost the same ages as those two, and what I saw was the interaction between brothers who know each other well and like each other, a lot the way my two behave.

Barack and Michelle Obama are real people who, despite living in the very protected world of the White House these days, have not lost their connection to each other. Nor to their daughters.
