While this story began on a website with a disclaimer marking its content as fiction, it was afterwards shared on websites without such a disclaimer, such as the Snowflakes Forum. This article’s popularity may have risen as a result of its publication by WitTheShit, a group whose stated goal is to “sow discord on the Internet by starting arguments or upsetting people, by posting inflammatory, extraneous, or off-topic messages in an online community (such as a newsgroup, forum, chat room, or blog) with the deliberate intent of provoking readers into an emotional response or otherwise disrupting normal on-topic discussion.” There are 7.2 million people in the country. “We’ve declared satirical WAR on EVERYONE!”

How Did Michelle Obama Meet Barack Obama

Even though Barack Obama was quite popular around the office when Michelle Obama met him in 1989 at the Chicago law firm where they both worked, it was not love at first sight.

In her 2018 biography, Becoming, she said, “In my experience, you put a suit on any half-intelligent Black man, and white people tended to go nuts.” “I didn’t think he’d lived up to the hype.”

Barack, on the other hand, was completely smitten from the start. He asked Michelle out on several occasions, but she declined each time before ultimately agreeing.

That summer, the couple embarked on their first date, which included lunch, a movie, and Baskin-Robbins ice cream, and they’ve been together ever since. Barack proposed to Michelle over dinner in 1991, and the two married the following year at Chicago’s Trinity United Church of Christ.

Michelle gave birth to their first daughter, Malia, in 1998, and the attorneys became parents. After nearly three years, Sasha came.
