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.

Note: He ordered cherry ripple. She had tangerine pineapple. For some everything tastes like chocolate.

It may never have happened without Mitt Romney:

Bain Capital, the investment firm that Mitt Romney made famous, made a leveraged buyout that saved the site of Barack and Michelle Obamas’ first kiss.

In 2005, Bain and two other private equity firms purchased Dunkin’ Brands Incorporated for $2.425 billion, according to a 2006 company press release.

Dunkin’ Brands is the parent company of Baskin-Robbins, at whose Hyde Park, Chicago location the president and his future wife Michelle went on their first date — and shared their first lip lock.

President Obama took the first lady out on a date in 1989 when the two worked at the same Chicago law firm, according to a Chicago Tribune article.

A 3,000-pound granite boulder now occupies the corner of Dorchester and 53rd Street, outside the ice cream parlor, bearing a quote about the couple’s first date.

I don’t know. I’d love for someone to post a sign near the plaque that reads: Thanks, Mitt.

this really is pathetic. I would say that Obama has some serious low self esteem. Sickening!!!

There are more important things to remember than their first kiss....like the insane waste of four years this experiment has been. Solyndra failure is Obama failure, America must know what a colossal failure Pres. Obama is, a spendthrift who has nearly bankrupted this country and its future.

There are a few funny comments at the end of the article.

They will probably disable the comments soon.

Surely these 2 buffoons are the most narcissistic people on Earth.
