Meryl Streep's love for Michelle and Barack Obama extends beyond the couple's time in the White House. The Oscar-winning actress, 68, was snapped out in public recently with a purse emblazoned with the faces of the former president and first lady.

In the recent on location images, Meryl is dressed casually in a dark jacket and trousers, flip flops and a purple ball cap. In one hand, Streep carries a large leather handbag. In the other, the "Kramer vs. Kramer" actress totes a purse with the image of Barack and Michelle embracing another on one side and a pic of the former FLOTUS sneering on the other.
It's unclear if Meryl Streep's Barack and Michelle Obama purse was designed by the actress.
However, it's no surprise that she is fond of the Obamas -- and the feeling is reportedly mutual.
Streep was a fixture alongside Michelle during Barack's presidency. She partnered with the first lady on several White House initiatives. Meryl attended an A-list farewell party for Mr. and Mrs. Obama; she tagged along during a trip to Africa and Streep routinely appeared in pictures hugging the president and first lady over the years.
Before a packed room at the White House in 2014, President Obama professed his love for (another woman) the "Into the Woods" star. Streep was among 19 recipients of the Presidential Medal of Freedom.
"I love Meryl Streep. Her husband knows I love her. Michelle knows I love her. There’s nothing they can do about it," the then-commander in chief said.
Perhaps, Barack and Michelle will respond in kind over Meryl Streep's purse gesture by wearing apparel etched with one of Meryl's movie quotes: "Honey, this is nasty business..." ("Rendition" as Corrine
Whitman).
