Obama’s marriage was on brink of collapse, says new book
Barack and Michelle Obama are said to be the most romantic ever First Couple to lead America. But now a new book has claimed that it was not always wedded bliss for them.
The book, Renegade, about Barack's unlikely run for the presidency, recounts a tense period in 2000 when the Obamas' marriage was on the verge of collapse because of his restless political hunger and the family's shattered finances. “There was little conversation and even less romance.She was angry at his selfishness and careerism,he thought she was cold and ungrateful,” Richard Wolffe wrote in his book.
At the time, Barack was stuck on the lowest step of the political ladder.As a mere state senator in Illinois, he had challenged a popular incumbent in a Democratic primary by running against Bobby Rush from Chicago.He was trounced by a dismal 2-1 margin.
