Hey, that's not Obama! Prom queen Michelle poses with her first love

She has established herself as the First Lady of fashion and has graced the cover of Vogue.

But long before arriving at the White House Michelle Obama was already putting on the style.

In a shimmering low-cut silk dress slashed to the thigh, the then 18-year-old Michelle Robinson posed with her first boyfriend at the High School Prom.


High school sweethearts: First Lady Michelle Obama with David
Upchurch before the 1984 Whitney M Young High School prom in
Chicago, Illinois

More than a quarter of a century since that night, David Upchurch still has fond memories of escorting Michelle to the dance at the Whitney M Young High School in Chicago, which they both attended....

Her revealing dress choice...was perhapsan indication that she would always stand out.

Over 25 years since that night Upchurch still has fond memories of escorting Michelle to the dance....


Darling of the dance floor: Barack Obama takes Michelle, now his
wife of 17 years, for a spin at one of the 10 balls they
visited on inauguration night


He's still got the moustache:
David Upchurch outside his
home in Colorado Springs.
'Barack Obama's a lucky man,' he said

David said:...junior year, we began dating and continued to date for a year-and-a-half.'

He says he can't even remember if he received a goodnight kiss after the prom.

The romance ended when Michelle went off to Princeton to study sociology.

...David, a customer sales rep, has only fond memories of his time with Michelle....

'...she has always been a wonderful person,' he said....

What, your all going to make fun of her prom picture? Is this what it’s about? I dare ANYONE here to post THEIR OWN prom picture. Ridiculous. This is the part of FR that embarrasses me because I know what you guys look like, so to make fun of anyone else’s looks is grotesque.

Excuse me while I look for a trash receptacle to vomit in.

We are in the Bizarro world, right?

She kind of looked like the first Mom/Aunt Viv on "Fresh Prince."

That's not a compliment.

My thoughts exactly. Told my husband, "Wasn't that woman ever young?"

If it makes you feel better, but it’s childish. And like I said, I’ve met Freepers...there is no room to talk.

It isn't the picture, it's the degree the Sycophant Press pushes this kind of fluff while we are in the middle of “Worst economic catastrophe since the Great Depression”.

I have no recollection of this kind of fodder with any recent Republican Presidents. Mrs. G.W. Bush is a gorgeous woman, and she never made the Best Dressed lists.

If I see one more story about Michelle Obama’s upper arms, I'll scream. And yes, my Prom picture sucked, but my girlfriend was beautiful so nobody noticed.

I’m with you Hildy - it is a good pic taken before she received her Princeton indoctrination. and good memories for both.

Bill Clinton did enough to our youth redefining sex. I dread what this will do for prom dresses because it has already reached ridiculous levels of lewd.

Yes, this is juvenile and makes us look small. I signed up here because I think the GOP needs to discuss issues and come out with their own plans. We’re better than this.

I thought the same thing. I just cannot stand Barry's looks.
