Jamie Kalven, Chicago writer and activist

Kalven, 60, met Barack Obama at a social gathering in the early 1990s. He already knew Michelle Obama from Public Allies, the youth leadership program in Chicago. "I remember thinking, 'It figures, he is almost as impressive as she is.' "

7. And even earlier impressions from his Occidental College days-

Professors and students have good things to say about Obama at 18-19 years old...
