Barack, Michelle Obama Talked Divorce
In 2009, one year after Barack Obama was elected president in a landslide victory, I posted these images of the president and the first lady Michelle Obama together. Body language enthusiasts can clearly see the involuntary signals that Michelle was sending at the time. Her closed body position clearly indicates some discord between the two. But when I pointed the signals out to my readers back then, they scoffed at me.
According to author Edward Klein, whose new book “The Amatuer” is about to hit store shelves, the Obamas once talked divorce.
Klein, who says his book is based on nearly 200 interviews with Obama associates and friends, wrote that Obama confided to friends that they were talking divorce. “Michelle actually had divorce papers drawn up,” Klein writes, citing one of her friends.
The problem? In 2000, after 8 years of marriage, Mr. Obama stubbornly decided on his own to run for the senate in a primary on Chicago’s South Side. But Mrs. Obama forbade him, probably because she knew he was inexperienced. She was right: Obama lost the primary and the couple became mired in debt.
One of the main causes of divorce in America is finances — or the lack thereof. Another major cause of divorce is infidelity.

Oh so you’re back after keeping that game up huh???
WHAT MARRIED COUPLE HASN’T, TALKED ABOUT DISCUSSED IS A WHOLE LOT DIFFERENT FROM FILING PAPERWORK AND ACTUALLY INITIATION THE PROCESS
MARRIAGE IS HARD WORK AND SOMETIMES YOU GIVE THOUGHT TO THROWING IN THE TOWEL IN THE HEAT OF AN ARGUMENT OR WHEN YOU HIT A ROUGH PATCH
BUT ONCE YOU STICK TO IT AND THE ISSUE PASSES, YOU’RE HAPPY THAT YOU STILL HAVE EACH OTHER AND DECIDED TO MAKE IT WORK
WHEN You Seek “Celebrity”… You gets Undue “Scrutiny”

I will say they look a lot more at ease with each other the last few years.
…unless Beyonce is around.
Who doesn’t talk about divorce! It was talked about and not done. Hell, you don’t think Hillary and Bill didn’t talk about it when that girl with tha tam and come soaked dress came forward?
@ Fe –
I CAN’T EEM SAY YOU IN RARE FORM TUUUDAY! ME KNOWNING YOUR “LOVE” FOR HALLE…I’M NOT SURPRISED BY THE GRAVI! AND YOU CAUGHT THAT BISH WIT HER MOUF WIIIIIDE OPEN!

@ Fe – that pic reminds me of when Dave Chappelle was like “for shizzle!”
Hmph, talking about divorce and actually going through with it are two different things. They worked it out and here they are…if this is true, end of story
Speaking of Presidents, can’t wait for Scandal tonight…

It’s already the season finale. It’s ok, it didn’t get the ax.
Looks like the caption over the photo should read, “Barack didn’t I tell you to stop putting your hand on my ass while he is taking pictures?”
If someone took pictures of me and my husband all day, we probably display so many emotions. From me giving him the blank stare,the next minute cracking up at him, sometimes even the evil eye, the next minute he is kissing me like he is going off to war.
Anyone married over 20 years and never mentioned divorced is good.
