Michelle Obama discussed the effort it took for Barack Obama to balance the the presidency with being a present father to their daughters in the White House.

Here’s their complete relationship timeline so far. Barack began working at the same Chicago law firm as Michelle in 1989, Sidley Austin LLP, and she was actually assigned to be his mentor. He told O, The Oprah Magazine in 2007 that he was immediately taken with her, but she wasn’t exactly on the same wavelength.
