<p>rebel, not sure what the Obamas have to do with this but here’s some information on Michelle’s background from Wikipedia:</p>

<p>

By sixth grade, Michelle joined a gifted class at Bryn Mawr Elementary School (later renamed Bouchet Academy).[19] She attended Whitney Young High School,[20] Chicago’s first magnet high school, where she was a classmate of Jesse Jackson’s daughter Santita.[18] The round trip commute from the Robinsons’ South Side home to the Near West Side, where the school was located, took three hours.[21] She was on the honor roll for four years, took advanced placement classes, a member of the National Honor Society and served as student council treasurer.[4] Michelle graduated in 1981 as the salutatorian of her class.[21]
