This shatters, shatters the notion that Barak and Michell are living a fairytale romantic union.

What will the NYT do? Maybe run articles about how the private lives of politicians is none of our business?

Here is a dripping essay lauding the first couple’s ideal union from Nov. 2009:

“the Obamas mix politics and romance in a way that no first couple quite have before. Almost 10 months ago, they swept into Washington with inauguration festivities that struck distinctly wedding-like notes: he strode down an aisle and took a vow, she wore a long white dress, the youthful-looking couple swayed to a love song in a ceremonial first dance and then settled into a new house. Since then, photograph after official White House photograph has shown the Obamas gazing into each other’s eyes while performing one or another official function. Here is a shot of the Obamas entering a Cinco de Mayo reception, his arm draped protectively around her back. Next, a photo of the president placing a kiss on his wife’s cheek after his address on health care to Congress. Poster-size versions of these and other photographs are displayed in rotation along the White House corridors. It’s hard to think of another workplace decorated with such looming evidence of affection between the principal players.”

I never looked at the Obamas and saw any love there. Looked even worse than the CLintons.

But look at George and Laura Bush. Sarah and Todd Palin.

Watch them interact in public and compare.

I’ve heard from reliable people Clinton most envied about W was the ranch and his wife.
