The Daily Mail reported Sunday on rumors ‘dominating’ Washington dinner parties that the 21-year marriage of Barack and Michelle Obama “has been racked by screaming rows, allegations of infidelity and a string of jealous fights.”
According to the National Enquirer, the Obamas have been at loggerheads since last summer and are now sleeping in separate bedrooms. While the mainstream media considers it a disreputable tabloid, it must be pointed out that the Enquirer broke the stories on John Edward’s secret love child and Bill Clinton’s affair with ‘that woman’ Monica Lewinsky.
The straw that broke the camel’s back apparently landed on the marriage at Nelson Mandela’s memorial service in South Africa. A scowling Michelle reportedly was outraged when Barack publicly humiliated her by ‘openly flirting’ with Denmark’s hottie prime minister and taking that selfie photo of the grinning pair and Britain’s prime minister.
Rumors have it that Michelle is just staying with the President for appearances sake, but only until his term of office ends. Then Barack reportedly will retire to Hawaii while she will stay in Washington with their children.
Shades of Bill and Hillary Clinton? Not exactly. Barack, like many husbands, may have cheated on his wife, but he has not made a career of it as has Bill Clinton. And Michelle has more class than Hillary. She has no political ambitions that would call for maintaining the marriage just in order to enhance the chances of getting elected to the U.S. Senate and then to the presidency of the United States.
