Many people know that Hillary will be counting on Bill for support, but they don't know much about Obama's wife Michelle, who happens to pull in a substanially larger salary than the senator himself.
A graduate of Princeton and Harvard Law School and a corporate vice president, she is probably the candidate hopeful's best bet in securing support from the African American community.
As she will be one of the most accomplished first ladies in history if her husband is elected, she might also cut through some of Hillary Clinton's command of the women's vote. During her career she has served as a former associate dean at the University of Chicago, and is currently a vice president at the University of Chicago Hospitals.
Michelle Obama sits on six boards, including the prestigious Chicago Council on Global Affairs, the University of Chicago Laboratory Schools and Tree House Foods.
A devoted mother of two daughters, Michelle stands 5-foot-11 and has star appeal all on her own.
