WASHINGTON--Carol Felsenthal has an articleover at HuffPo about Michelle Obama's former boy friends.

The subject comes up because, Felsenthal writes, "What made me think again of Michelle Robinson's school romances is a story in the Telegraph (via the Enquirer magazine) in which the British paper's New York correspondent writes about Michelle's high school prom date. David Upchurch, divorced and a customer service representative who lives in Colorado, was a neighbor of the Robinsons and a family friend.

"Their relationship did not survive high school graduation in 1981 and Michelle's next move--to Princeton University where she earned her Bachelor's in sociology before heading to law school at Harvard."

The First Lady's office was asked via email about the photo on Friday and Sunday and did not reply.

Is this something that should interest anybody??? Didn't everybody go to the prom? Who cares about a prom date over 20 years ago?
and you Lynn, a renowned journalist, expected Michelle to respond to this photo??? What exactly would she be responding to?
Lynn Sweet gossip site now huh?
Look-that guy in the pic SOLD this photo to the National Enquirer. Some friend huh.
For that reason alone I could care less what he has to say, and Michelle probably feels the same way. You need to take this off your site Lynn. They were just kids, and what value does what they did then have now or contribute to the seriousness of the conversations at present?
shame on you

i totally agree with you that guy sold that picture shme on you and him.
