Celebrating the Love Story of President Obama and First Lady Michelle
As the final days of President Obama’s term comes to an end, we’re going to miss the bounty of endearing photos that come from his time in office. His charisma shines in the images captured by official White House photographer Pete Souza, who has also snapped pictures of the rest of the Obama family. From these photographs, it’s clear that the President and the First Lady are still as smitten as the day they first met. The Barack and Michelle Obama love story is both sweet and delightfully down to earth.
Like many people, Barack and Michelle were first acquainted at work. “I met Michelle in 1988,” Barack writes on Oprah.com, “after my first year of law school, when I took a summer job at Sidley & Austin, a law firm in Chicago.” She was assigned as his adviser and helped him “learn the ropes” at the company. “I remember being struck by how tall and beautiful she was,” he recalled. Over time, they got to know each other, and he asked her out. She refused, but he kept asking. “I’m your adviser,” she said. “It’s not appropriate.” When Barack offered to quit his job, she finally agreed. For their first date, they saw Spike Lee’s Do the Right Thing and ate ice cream afterwards.
