She was an attorney at a big Chicago law firm. He was a Harvard Law student who landed a job there as a summer associate. He was immediately smitten. She wasn't so sure. But he won her over, and the couple sealed their budding romance with a kiss at the Baskin-Robbins ice cream shop in Hyde Park.
So goes the story of how Michelle and Barack Obama fell in love in 1989. And on Wednesday, a historical marker went up at the corner of Dorchester Avenue and 53rd Street noting the exact location where the couple had their first smooch.
A quote from President Obama, taken from an interview published in "O, The Oprah Magazine" in February 2007, is inscribed beneath an embedded photo of the couple.
"On our first date, I treated her to the finest ice cream Baskin-Robbins had to offer, our dinner table doubling as the curb. I kissed her, and it tasted like chocolate."

Some suggested that the site could become a popular spot for first dates and even marriage proposals.

Marker placed at Hyde Park shopping center where Obamas shared first kiss This sounds like another made up Obama factoid.
Larry Sinclair never said anything about Michelle being there.

Who was the lucky guy?
Michelle is rumored to have said “Goony Goohoo” after the kiss.

Who cares about these two would be haters & destroyers of America? I would suggest that the Obamabot media start looking real hard at continuing to carry water for these two anti-Americans. Obama/Biden are going to be defeated big time and the Obamabot media is not going to be looked upon kindly!!! End of story!!!
