When Donnelly first saw Obama's wife on TV, she was struck by how tall and graceful she looked. Then she studied her more closely. Michelle Obama looked so familiar..... Could that be Michelle Robinson? A Google search gave Donnelly the answer. Obama was far more than a first-lady hopeful. She had gone to Harvard Law School, had been an associate dean at the University of Chicago and rose to vice president at the University of Chicago Hospitals. Like Donnelly, she was mother to two children. I was inspired," she says. "I was amazed. And I was envious of all she had accomplished." http://www.ajc.com/news/content/news/stories/2008/04/12/roommate_0413.html Your thoughts?
