Many people who know Obama think that his wife Michelle Obama has contributed a lot to Obama's success today. She is also the "secret weapon" of Obama's presidential campaign.

Michelle, 43, was born in an ordinary family in the south of Chicago. Her father is a plumber and her mother is a secretary. Michelle is smart and studious. She studied at Princeton University and Harvard Law School. She is 1.8 meters tall and dignified. Some even praised her for combining Jacqueline Kennedy's demeanor with Laura's charm.

The Daily Telegraph reported that Michelle and Obama had a romantic encounter. After graduation, Michelle became a lawyer in Chicago law firm Siddeley and Austin. Once, she was sent to instruct a new intern, Obama, who was studying at Harvard Law School. At first, Michelle regarded Obama as "a black man who can talk frankly".

One day, Obama walked up to Michelle and said, "Let's go out on a date." . Michelle thought it was inappropriate, so Obama later asked Michelle to attend a club meeting in the basement of the church. Obama delivered a speech on eliminating racial differences there, which he called "the world is like this, but the world should be like that".

Michelle thought, "This guy is different."

"He is really different. Besides being friendly, funny and cute, he is also serious and trustworthy that you can't see every day." Michelle recalled. So she introduced Obama to her family.

The family likes Obama very much, but they don't expect this relationship to last. Because Michelle is a very picky person, she always refuses one suitor after another and becomes a family joke. Her brother Craig said, "My first concern is that this poor guy will be kicked out sooner or later."

Michelle's mother recalled that Obama was quiet and solemn. "He didn't talk about himself or tell us that he was running for the presidency of Harvard Law Review. We never realized that he had a great future ..."

Four years after they met, Obama and Michelle got married and had two daughters, Malia and Sasha, aged 9 and 6 respectively.

At home, Michelle gets up at 4: 30 every morning, does some daily chores and starts preparing breakfast. Obama often praises his wife, saying that Michelle can arrange everything in order. "She is an efficient domestic expert, and I will never reach her level." Under the influence of his wife, Obama also began to share some housework within his power, such as making the bed, taking out the garbage and reading Harry Potter to the children.

In addition to caring about life, Michelle has also given great help to Obama's career. She often discusses state affairs with her husband and makes suggestions for his speeches. After successfully running for the Senate in 2004, Obama publicly declared that Michelle was the "most dazzling star" of the Obama family.

Their happy marriage became a much-told story among friends. The Obamas were selected as "Top Ten Popular Couples in America" by Ebony magazine.

Now, as a congressman, Obama is fully engaged in politics, aiming at the White House. Michelle, on the other hand, bears the burden of raising children. Every week, she takes a few days to help her husband choose, give speeches and give interviews. She is very busy.

In these activities, she will reveal some "embarrassing things" of her husband from time to time, such as not making the bed and throwing dirty socks, so that people can understand Obama in life.
