Parker Curry, 2, made national headlines when a bystander at the National Portrait Gallery took a photo of her gazing in awe at the portrait of former First Lady Michelle Obama. Now, shes dancing with her.
Obama paid a visit to Curry to meet her and her mother, Jessica, and share a little dance. Curry reportedly loved seeing Obama dance on Ellen and thinks she is a queen.
Currys awestruck expression as she gazed at the portrait, painted by Baltimore native Amy Sherald, went viral on Facebook:

(18,124 posts)so proud to have witnessed the Obama family in my lifetime. The Obama's have outshown with class, integrity, kindness and intelligence anyone occupying 1600 at this time. The potus and 1st lady we now have are tragic in their ineptitude.
