Barack Obama’s in-laws thought Michelle would ‘eat him alive’

LONDON - When Barack Obama first met his in-laws, they thought that their daughter Michelle would “eat him alive.”

The revelations have come from memoirs written by the First Lady’s brother Craig Robinson, called A Game Of Character.

The first couple of the United States met when Michelle, now 46, was asked to mentor Barack, two years her senior, at Chicago law firm Sidley Austin.

Basketball coach Craig, 47, said that although Barack got the approval from both his future parents-in-law, neither thought that he would be a suitable match for their feisty daughter.

After meeting the future president, Michelle’s mum Marion’s first impression was a half-hearted.

“Well, he’s tall,” the Daily Express quoted her as saying at the time.

On the other hand, her dad Fraser seemed slightly more impressed, adding: “Not a bad looking guy, either.”

But, despite the fact that the Robinsons seemed to accept their daughter’s new beau they still didn’t think the relationship would last.

And Fraser reportedly joked: “Yep, she’ll eat him alive.” (ANI)
