She is President Obama’s #1 Advisor: President Obama has his own set of advisors, but do not be fooled. His supreme advisor is Michelle Obama, the woman who has been beside him all along this journey, pushing him to greater heights. Barack and Michelle have such an interesting love story. Even before his election, they were best friends, and Barack admits how much Michelle helped him get to where he is today. There is no doubt that the brilliant woman with years of executive leadership experience would be the president’s go-to person for advice.
