This came to me via email from an Obama fan.
One night President Obama and his wife Michelle decided to do something out of routine and go for a casual dinner at a restaurant that wasn’t too luxurious. When they were seated, the owner of the restaurant asked the president’s secret service if he could please speak to the First Lady in private. They obliged and Michelle had a conversation with the owner.
Following this conversation President Obama asked Michelle, why was he so interested in talking to you. She mentioned that in her teenage years, he had been madly in love with her. President Obama then said, “so if you had married him, you would now be the owner of this lovely restaurant” , to which Michelle responded, “no, if I had married him, he would now be the President”.
I know many cases of men reaching high positions, thanks to wives like Mrs. Obama. My late wife had a great deal to do with my own corporate growth. Unfortunately for her, we never had such a conversation. Perhaps she would have said something similar, had we had one.
