an interesting little fact
April 29, 2009from NYTimes.com’s Magazine Preview: an Interview with President Obama by David Leonhardt
Did Michelle ever make more than you did?
THE PRESIDENT: Oh, sure.
Probably only for a brief time, because I was working three jobs most of the time that I was in the State Senate. I was still practicing law and I was still teaching. So when you kind of put everything together, I think I was still making a little bit more. But when I started campaigning for the U.S. Senate and I had to drop some of those jobs, then she carried us for a couple years.
