Michelle and Barack Obama: he made an impression with his “sexy voice”

Michelle Obama (61), how she fell in love with her future husband Barack Obama over 32 years ago.

When asked what she first put on Barack, the former first lady took a long manner. At that time she was his mentor in a law firm in which everyone spoke of the new “Hot Shot”, around which a real vertebra had arisen.

The only photo that Michelle had from Barack “was not particularly good”, as she admits. “I thought he was probably a bit strange and nerdy,” recalls Michelle. But then there was a first phone call between the two: “He had his Barack Obama voice. The voice was sexier as the picture I had taken. I thought: ‘Oh, I didn’t expect that.’ And he was older and confident. “

Something else changed on his first working day. “He is much sweeter than in his photo. I was pleasantly surprised that he was attractive. He was somehow cool in a way that I didn’t expect.” It also fit in interpersonal: during a long lunch together “we got on really well” and felt “the touch of a spark”.

But Michelle had already “written off” Barack because she did not want to behave “inappropriately” as his consultant. She even tried to couple him with her friends. However, she began to “really like it” about the course of a summer. And Barack did not give up, he kept asking her for a date: “You are cute, you are cool. Why not? Who does it care, what does the law firm think? It is just a law firm. And that only matters us,” she quotes her husband today and calls his directness “kind of sexy”. After a few weeks, he had finally convinced his later wife to go on a real date with him.

“I could have missed my dream man. He was right in front of me and I was talking to myself, even against his efforts that we shouldn’t go out,” Michelle summarized her story. They married in October 1992, and the daughters Malia (27) and Sasha (24) were born in 1998 and 2001.
