The New Yorker Interviews the Obamas in 1996
Apparently they were doing a photography project on couples. This one line says it all:
There is a strong possibility that Barack will pursue a political career, although it’s unclear. There is a little tension with that. I’m very wary of politics. I think he’s too much of a good guy for the kind of brutality, the skepticism.
I don’t use the word “inspiring” very often, at least not in reference to public figures, cause honestly, not a whole lot outside of the design/technology world is very inspiring to me. But this! this is something else. Just reading their outlooks on life and the future and seeing where they ended up… it’s very cool.
