New York Times reporter Jodi Kantor, in a book to be published Tuesday, portrays a White House where tensions developed between Mrs. Obama and former White House Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel and former press secretary and presidential adviser Robert Gibbs.
Among the book's most provocative anecdotes, Kantor recounts a scene in which Gibbs, frustrated after tamping down a potential public relations crisis involving the first lady, exploded when presidential adviser Valerie Jarrett told him the first lady had concerns about the White House response to the flap. The initial commotion had been over an alleged
remark by Michelle Obama to French first lady Carla Bruni-Sarkozy that living in the White House was "hell."
In another, the book describes how Obama, after winning a U.S. Senate seat and writing a best-selling book, "The Audacity of Hope," sought self-protection and privacy as he came to terms with his new fame. Some staffers came up with a
word to describe times when Obama couldn't connect with people: "Barackward," a combination of "Barack" and "awkward."

Good. Perhaps there is some hope for us...
I recall a story about Hillary’s treatment of her staff where they were not allowed to look her straight or directly in the eyes...kinda like royalty would demand of their subjects. I figured Hillary was afraid they would be able to look through her eyes into her soul...and discover that it, indeed, was MISSING.
“I’ll bet she treats her aides like crap.”
If you had to get up every morning and shave an ugly mug like Michelle’s you’d be in a bad temper too!
Talk about an ugly, “f-you”, I hate your guts, hostile look (if looks could kill)...not to mention very un-1st lady-like....lol.
Michelle is, I’m afraid, ugly inside and out.
She has that in common with her spouse.
