Brr, It's Michelle's Call - Barack's Nights of Chilly Consequences

Barack's Nighttime Restrictions Instituted Due to Michelle's Decision - Michelle takes charge: Completes the task effectively.
In the ongoing power struggle between former First Lady Michelle Obama (61) and her husband Barack (63), it's the thermostat that's the battleground. "This is a familiar tale for many women," Michelle shared with comedian Amy Poehler on her podcast "Good Hang," "But with us, he's always cold."
The thermostat, a device we often overlook, is strictly off-limits to Barack, according to Michelle. "Sometimes I wake up sweating and ask, 'Did you mess with the thermostat? You did, right?'" she laughs. Barack denies the accusation, but Michelle masks a look of terror for Amy's amusement.
Playfully labelling Barack as a thermostat-phobic, Michelle tells him, "I don't care what you do, just don't mess with anything in here while I'm asleep."
Married since 1992 and parents to two daughters, Michelle and Barack Obama continue to keep their relationship lively, one playful thermostat battle at a time.
