Way to be on top of this, caseyc. You'd think the White House would be 100% sure about making a statement like this, right? No one's perfect, but seriously, it's the White House!

This is correct. I've actually been to the grave in person while helping research a recent biography of Michelle Obama. I have photos of it, in fact. It is in Lincoln Cemetery and is quite hard to find.
