"I thought I would never live to get in the White House. I am so happy ... a black president ... a black wife ... and I am here to celebrate black history," Virginia told the couple.

While Michelle told her, "I want to be like you when I grow up."

"You have just made our day ... that energy, man."

Two years ago, Virginia told NBC Washington her one wish was to meet Barack Obama.
