2. Barack And Michelle’s First Date
On his first date with wife, Michelle, Barack Obama took the future First Lady to see the Spike Lee flickDo The Right Thing. Michelle joked that Barack’s “first car had so much rust that there was a rusted hole in the passenger door.” The two had met at their law firm, Sidley Austin. There were very few black associates at the firm. These two bonded when Michelle was assigned to mentor Barack during his time as a summer associate (I sense a “hot for teacher” moment). Their relationship started and blossomed with a business lunch. And then at a community organization meeting, Barack displayed his potential and impressed the future First Lady. From there, it was history.
