It's an Obama double dose! President-elect Barack Obama and soon-to-be First Lady Michelle Obama both grace the cover of the new issue of Essence magazine, on newsstands December 12 -- and ET has a first look!

The Obamas' incredible campaign and historic victory get a 56-page tribute in the January issue, featuring the images, thoughts, dreams and perspectives by some of today's foremost writers and photographers.

An extensive timeline which follows Barack from a young child to the present is included, and the first couple's daughters, Malia, 10, and Sasha, 7, are also profiled, as they will be the youngest residents of 1600 Pennsylvania Ave since Amy Carter.
