Michelle & Barack make their entrance to their first party

February 22, was the first time the Obamas hosted their first White House dinner. The two came out in full regal fashion as you will see in the photos in this post. The Obamas hosted 130 guests including some of the nation’s governors. Enjoy.

: California Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger and wife Maria Shriver. Arnold is still holding up after all that steroid use in the 80s.

: Colorado Governor Bill Ritter and his wife Jeannie Ritter. And if we had to do a best and worst dressed list…ummmmm………

: White House Social Secretary Desiree Rogers

: Florida Governor Charlie Crist and his wife Carole Crist. I thought this was either the New York or the New Jersey Governor and wife. Anyone feeling Soprano vibe here?

: Idaho Governor C.L. ‘Butch’ Otter with his wife Lori Otter

: Kansas Governor Kathleen Sebelius and her husband Gary Sebelius

: Louisiana Governor Bobby Jindal and his wife Supriya Jindal. Everyone trying to show their economic sensitivity. The ladies had to have bought the same dress off the rack. What do you think?

: Massachusetts Governor Deval Patrick and his wife Diane Patrick

: First Lady Michelle Obama in mid conversation. The camera person doesn’t always catch her at her best. Why catch her in mid conversation?

: The White House First Dinner gala, First Lady Michelle Obama and President Barack Obama

: First Lady Michelle Obama and Arnold Schwarzenegger. Is she even talking to him?

: Minnesota Governor Tim Pawlenty brought his daughter Anna

: New Jersey Jon Corzine and his guest Sharon Elghanayan I don’t know about you, but she LOOKS like a “guest” and not a wife. That damn New Jersey! Always in a scandal.

: New York Governor David Paterson and wife Michelle Paterson

: Pennsylvania Governor Ed Rendell and his wife Marjorie Rendell. Unfortunately, you will see this dress twice.

: Puerto Rico Governor Luis Fortuno his wife Luce Vela Fortuno. I’m not a fashion expert, but does anyone know why the curtain on the bottom of her dress?
