*First Lady Michelle Obama has responded to reports of friction between her and the president’s top advisers. The information is from a new book by NY Times reporter Jody Kantor.
In an interview with CBS News’ Gayle King, the FLOTUS admitted that she is “not an expert on most of the issues that [the president] is dealing with on a daily basis.”
“I am one of his biggest confidants, but he has dozens of really smart people who surround him,” she said. “I want him and he wants to be talking to the people with the best information. That’s not to say that we don’t have discussions and conversations. That’s not to say that my husband doesn’t know how I feel.”
The book Kantor, titled “The Obamas,” out today depicts Michelle Obamas as a powerful behind-the-scenes player in her husband’s administration. On the other hand, it also says that there was frustration and tension between Mrs. Obama and the president’s team, including former White House Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel and former Press Secretary Robert Gibbs.
“One thing is true, that I talk very candidly to my husband about how I feel, but that’s the kind of relationship we have,” the first lady told CBS. “I wouldn’t go to Rahm about something that I would talk to my husband about. If I didn’t agree with something, I would talk to my own husband about it.”

These folks get in my nerves.everything the Obama’s do has to be blown way out of context.of couse she had to find her way around considering everything that was going on in her life. Let’s face it America is crazy.This country is full of people who want to do harm to people for any reason.I am sure she was terrified for her children her mother and her husband because President Obama has received more death threarts than any sitting President just because he is is Black.everything she wears is looked at to the inth degree even by Black people some of my friends have even made what I consider to be stupid comments about what she wears! She had to find her place in all this madness and I believe that she did. Well I admire her and her husband for their commitment to look and do the best that they can under the circumstances. I don’t think for a minute that this job or their lives or their childrens lives are easy!
