Barack and Michelle Obama's Love Story
1 of 16 First Impressions In the summer of 1989, Michelle LaVaughn Robinson heard the stories of a sharp intern named Barack Obama who’d just finished his first year at Harvard law. “I thought, this is probably just a Black man who can talk straight. That’s why they’re excited about him,” Michelle said to supporters in a speech. Then he took her to church basements and she saw him in action. “He was able to articulate a vision that resonated with people, that was real. And right then and there, I decided this guy was special. The authenticity you see is real, and that’s why I fell in love with him.” View ESSENCE’s Exclusive Photos of Barack Obama’s Campaign Trail »

To answer Willa; Those of us who care about the future of this country care are not gagging but smiling all the way to the victory and the White House. This is a story that should be told as a complement to the election of the next president of the USA. President Barack Obama and his family provide a model for every family in this country. They are not pefect, but they certainly represent the best of what this country has to offer. There are many families just like them who we see everyday doing their best to educate and care for their children. What you see is the result of that type of determination and committment. Look, listen and learn. God Bless the Obama family!
