He had her back after her knockout speech at the Democratic National Convention on Monday, and the first lady returned the favor on Wednesday.

"That's my man!" Michelle Obama tweeted after her husband finished his address. "Your truth, dignity, and grace reminds us what real leadership looks like. I am always proud of our @POTUS." Earlier in the night, the first lady also had a special message for Vice President Joe Biden (who during his DNC speech called her "incredible"): "To one of my favorite men in the world. Joe, thank you and Jill for all you've done for this country. Our love for you is deep. So proud!"
