At the inauguration of the National Museum of African American History and Culture in Washington, the coolest First Lady of the United States, Michelle Obama, did something that gave the internet life.
As Michelle and Barack Obama walked out to the podium where Laura and George Bush were standing, FLOTUS walked right up to Bush and gave him the sort of hug BFFs are required to hand out at regular intervals.
The moment was captured and GIFed and brought on a classic case of D'aaaws from everyone.

Not everyone found it adorable. The hug also sparked a full-blown Photoshop battle on Reddit. Internet, why you gotta be so rude?
