Just because Barack Obama was destined for the presidency doesn't mean his future in-laws thought he was husband material.
On the latest episode of their joint podcast, IMO, former FLOTUS Michelle Obama and her older brother, Craig Robinson, reminisced about the early days of Michelle and Barack's relationship.

“Mich starts to date Barack, and we don’t know who this guy is," Craig, 62, recalled. "We’re just like, ‘Barack? Who’s got a name like Barack?’“
“And I’m thinking to myself, it’s gonna last like about a month like most of your relationships did," he continued.
“That’s not true," Michelle, 61, disagreed. "I had many a longterm boyfriend.”
“I remember mom’s first thing was, ‘Ooo at least he’s tall.’ Because Mich was usually posting up her other boyfriends,” Craig joked. “And I said to myself, ‘Well, it’s too bad it’s not gonna last.’“
Craig and Barack ended up bonding when the pair played a game of pickup basketball (at Michelle's suggestion).
“Obviously we had a great time playing. This is what I learned, aside from the fact that he’s left-handed so he couldn’t go right at all, most importantly, he was a team player,” Craig said of his now brother-in-law. “He fit in with the people. So I was able to report back to you, everything was fine and the rest was history.”
While Barack has been part of the family ever since, he eventually had to put his basketball hobby on hold.“Barack put his basketball shoes up once he got his lip busted once he was in the White House playing a pickup game,” Michelle revealed. “He needed, like, 30-something stitches … He had some major speech, this was probably Saturday. He had some major speech on Monday. I was like, ‘This is what I’m saying. You’re playing like you’re 10, and now your lip is split.’“
Michelle and Barack tied the knot in 1992 and went on to welcome two daughters, Malia, 26, and Sasha, 23.
