In the late 80’s, a beautiful, hard-working, family-oriented Michelle Robinson told her mother she was going to concentrate on her law career and not worry about dating. She was 25 and had just finished her first year as an associate at Sidley & Austin, a corporate law firm in her home town of Chicago. Not long after, the firm assigned her to mentor a summer associate named Barack Obama.

Now, you can’t go anywhere in the world without knowing the leader of the Free World’s name and his wife’s: Barack and Michelle Obama. Now, there’s even a movie about the First couple and how they met called,“Southside With You” which hits theaters on Friday, August 26th.
