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.
So goes the story of how Michelle and Barack Obama fell in love in 1989. And on Wednesday, a historical marker went up at the corner of Dorchester Avenue and 53rd Street noting the exact location where the couple had their first smooch.
A quote from President Obama, taken from an interview published in "O, The Oprah Magazine" in February 2007, is inscribed beneath an embedded photo of the couple.
"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."

"Why are you kneeling down in this parking lot across the street from the Ribs'N'Bibs? . . . oh, no . . ."
Now if you kiss her she'll taste like: ribs, pizza, french fries, cheeseburgers, bratwurst, lemon merengue pie, chocolate cake, brownies, onion rings, chicken wings, sheetrock, carpet, and breath mints.
Help me out people... shouldn’t the marker read that the curb doubled as the dinner table?
And you stole that BS line from that goofy "mayor" who was running New Orleans during Katrina.
Got anything original?
I’m glad Michelle didn’t tell us what Barry tasted like.
With O, according to Larry Sinclair, that might be sexist, too.
“I kissed her and IT tasted like chocolate.”
Um, why is he referring to ‘her’ as ‘it’?
Heh.
Hahahahahahahaahahahaha!!!!
The clown in Loiusiana( I think) would say they is both "milk chocolate".
The marker is ridiculous. Hope the birds sh** all over it.
does the motel where soetoro and larry sinclair came together have a sign up that says “soetoro slept here?”
I assume you're referring to the carpet stain?
Superfund site. The White Hut must be a write off.
...the shopping center where they knew they could cash their ill gotten welfare checks with no questions asked.....(6 social security numbers)
More election time diversion away from the fact that barry is gay.
It smacks of "cult of personality"
Maybe we should mark the spot were they first did the horizontal mambo
Yes, I'm a racist because I used white figures
That’s funny ... I actually had ice cream from that Baskin Robbins, and combined with straight instant coffee (alnighter for paper due next day at U of C) I wound up puking. That was in ‘85.
He also patronized Valois. Now that is a good solid eatery.
