Michelle Obama
Michelle Obama, née Robinson, the wife of Barack Obama, was born on January 17, 1964 in Chicago, Illinois. She is a lawyer and was a University of Chicago Hospital Vice-President. She is the First Lady of the United States.
Malia Obama and Sasha Obama
Barack and Michelle Obama have two daughters: Malia Ann (pronounced /məˈliːə/), born in 1998, and Natasha (known as Sasha) /ˈsɑːʃə/), born in 2001. Sasha is the youngest child to reside in the White House since John F. Kennedy, Jr, arrived as an infant in 1961.
Before his inauguration, President Obama published an open letter to his daughters in Parade magazine, describing what he wants for them and every child in America: "to grow up in a world with no limits on your dreams and no achievements beyond your reach, and to grow into compassionate, committed women who will help build that world."While living in Chicago, they kept busy schedules, as the Associated Press reports: "soccer, dance and drama for Malia, gymnastics and tap for Sasha, piano and tennis for both." In July 2008, the family gave an interview to the television series Access Hollywood; Obama later said they regretted allowing the children to be included. In his victory speech on the night of his election, President Obama repeated his promise to Sasha and Malia to get a puppy to take with them to the White House. However the selection of a dog has been slow because Malia is allergic to animal dander; the president subsequently said that the choice has been narrowed down to either a labradoodle or Portuguese Water Dog, and they are hoping to find a shelter animal.
Malia and Sasha attend the private Sidwell Friends School in Washington, DC, the same school as attended by Chelsea Clinton, Tricia Nixon Cox, and Archibald Roosevelt, and currently the grandchildren of Vice President Joe Biden. The Obama girls began classes there on January 5, 2009. While in Chicago, both attended the private University of Chicago Laboratory School.
Marian Shields Robinson
Michelle Obama's mother (birthname Marian Shields, born July 1937), now widowed, married Michelle's father, Fraser Robinson, in 1960. Robinson was formerly a secretary at Spiegel catalog and a bank. While Michelle and Barack Obama were campaigning in 2008, Robinson tended the Obama's young children and she intends to do the same while in Washington, DC. Robinson is currently living in the White House itself as part of the First Family; she is the first live-in grandmother there since Elivera M. Doud during the Eisenhower administration. Some media outlets have dubbed Robinson the "First Granny".
