More student loan reference:
###
I met Michelle in 1988, after my first year of law school, when I took a summer job at Sidley & Austin, a law firm in Chicago. A year earlier I had been working as a community organizer in some of Chicago’s poorest neighborhoods, and I struggled with the decision to go to a large firm.
But with student loans mounting, the three months of salary they offered wasn’t something I could pass up.
Michelle worked at Sidley, too, and, in the luckiest break of my life, was assigned to be my adviser, charged with helping me learn the ropes.
I remember being struck by how tall and beautiful she was. She, I have since learned, was pleasantly surprised to see that my nose and ears weren’t quite as enormous as they looked in the photo I’d submitted for the firm directory.
Over the next several weeks, we saw a lot of each other at work. She was kind enough to take me to a few parties, and never once commented on my mismatched and decidedly unstylish wardrobe.
I asked her out. She refused. I kept asking. She kept refusing.
“I’m your adviser,” she said. “It’s not appropriate.” Finally, I offered to quit my job, and at last she relented.
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.
I had known those student loans were going to get me a great education, but I had no idea they’d get me my first date with the love of my life.

Editors' Note Appended (at bottom of article)
CAMBRIDGE, Mass., Jan. 23 *snip*
an impressive student, a nice guy. But in the 1990 Revue the graduating editors gleeful parody of their elite publication they said quite a bit more.
*snip*
He arrived there as an unknown, Afro-wearing community organizer who had spent years searching for his identity; by the time he left, he had his first national news media exposure, a book contract and a shot of confidence from running the most powerful legal journal in the country.
As the ribbing in the Revue suggests, Mr. Obama was realizing the power of his own biography. He proved deft at navigating an institution scorched with ideological battles, many of which revolved around race. *snip*
sometimes giving warring classmates the impression that he agreed with all of them at once.
*snip*
Friends say he did not want anyone to assume they knew his mind and because of that, even those close to him did not always know exactly where he stood.

Obama has got to be one of the most narcissistic men to ever hold the office. It is almost sociopathic..definately creepy. Who writes an autobiography when they are so young? Especially when they have never done anything in life that significant or noteworthy?? LOL! He is black and white...big friggin deal! He is a community organizer...big friggin deal! He got a law degree at Harvard...big friggin deal! I just don’t get it. Why does the media and the people that voted for him think he is that unbelievable and great. It makes no sense when you really think about it.
