I think Michelle said she and her husband don’t make a move without her advice, but I couldn’t find the source.

MR. BROKAW: South Side. You were born in Iran because your father was a doctor over at the time, at the time. Your parents were both socially active in causes. You went to Stanford University, where you got a degree in psychology... CEO of The Habitat Company in Chicago, which is a big development company. You worked for Mayor Richard Daley as deputy chief of staff in Chicago.

You hired Michelle Obama in 1991, and she said before she took the job she wanted you to meet her fiance, Barack Obama. And you were finance chairman for Obama in his 2004 Senate campaign. And he says he does not make a major decision without checking with you first. So that's something that I know that you're very proud of and that puts you in a very important position there.
