The book is getting a cold shoulder from both Barack and Michelle.
First lady Michelle Obama is a behind-the-scenes force in the White House whose opinions on policy and politics drew her into conflict with presidential advisers and who bristled at some of the demands and constraints of life as the president's wife, according to a detailed account of the first couple's relationship.

There's a distinct difference between a tabloid and a book, and maybe you would have realized that had you bothered to read the link. I honestly don't think that you could have read the post, accessed the link, and made your comment in the ONE MINUTE that elapsed between the original post and your comment.

"To read,...or not to read,....that is the question. Whether it is best to ignore the research and protect the subject, or to open ones mind to the possibility that Barack and the First Lady are really just in over their collective heads......." (author unknown)


Apparently the book is not all negative, but does delve into the relationship between Michelle and the aides. Is Michelle the second First Lady claiming that "We are the President",...like the quote attributed to Hillary?

It is quite amusing that the book is already under attack from the kool-aid drinkers,....and it is not even yet available to the public. Doesn't take a lot to get the panties in a wad when the subject is the Obamas....

I"m not interested in the details concerning the private lives of celebrities.

No, you know what is quite amusing? The fact that you thought this crap which, almost, no one cares about was worthy of a thread.
Once Mrs.Obama messed with my little brother's and sister's Happy Meal fries, I really couldn't stand her, lol.

Your right, it was probably just too wonderful to comprehend what it would be like working for an amazing woman like Nancy Reagan.
