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."

They are a angry couple with white chip on their collective shoulders.
Electing him was a damn dumb mistake by Americans.

This guy’s a selfish Prick - not surprised at all and how much do you want to bet that he’s already having affairs on the side while in the White House?
To: Sub-Driver
That is one angry woman. I wouldn’t want to see what happened if she got loose in public. Maybe that’s why the Chicago political machine decided to send her to DC.

The only problems they have had have to be from her. She’s from a political family and her connections got him started not that dopey agitator stuff. She calls the shots it looks to me. If they had trouble it was either that she talked and he wasn’t listening good enough or that he wasn’t having any trouble hooking up while they were trying to conceive, or both.
