Author: Barack and Michelle Almost Split Book Adds They Had Trouble Having Kids, She Was Down on Hillary as Possible Veep, and She Pushed Him to Go With "Yes We Can!"
(CBS) Michelle and Barack Obama's marriage was so shaky at one point that they almost separated, according to a new book that gives what it says is a behind-the-scenes look at the Obamas' life together.
In "Barack and Michelle: Portrait of An American Marriage," author Christopher Andersen also says the Obamas had lots of trouble conceiving when they wanted to start a family, Michelle gave a thumbs-down on Hillary Clinton as a possible running mate for Barack, and persuaded him to go with the campaign slogan "Yes we can!" which he considered corny.
Andersen writes that Barack's overriding political ambition caused a wedge between the two so serious that they almost split up. "I think she could have walked at one point. She felt abandoned."
"The strains in their marriage, they've been very open about," Andersen told "Early Show" co-anchor Harry Smith. "During the period when he was in the senate, the State Senate, in Illinois, he said it was a dark time in their marriage. It was angry all the time."

Yes, it’s true, it happened just before the gravy train pulled into the station.
It’s gonna get worse as stupid gorgeous women throw themselves at his feet(remember when he called a female reporter “sweetie”). Sorry, but Michelle can’t compete...HEY, I say it like I see it!
Michelle Obama is the “anti-Condi Rice”.
Sure is or was. There are no virgins in Obama’s story except maybe for Brack himself.

LOL
Funny! My guess was that she figured out the problem - and told him they could have a child if his next romantic encounter was with her instead of with Larry Sinclair.
Larry Sinclair smiles and rubs his hands.
My son calls him a narcissist but I say he’s a megalomaniac; sometimes Obama looks like he slept in that blue shirt.
Andersen also says the Obamas had lots of trouble conceiving when they wanted to start a family,
It wasn’t so much trouble conceiving. It’s the way they kept throwing the babies in with the dirty laundry.
As true as it is AND it is true, there are many who feel disdain and contempt for our country.
I think there are fewer than last year as people see what he is doing
Great cartoon
Barack responded “Divorce Michelle? Have you SEEN Michelle?”
They are STILL angry people. They DESERVE each other.
