If true, this situation will more likely end up in a Clintonian "Stand By My Man" show of unity in order to preserve the political franchise, than an Edwards Fracas.
But if it's true, Michelle will make him absolutely miserable in the way only a betrayed wife can do.
For reasons unnecessary to explain, over the years I have become a student of body language and vibes. And it has been interesting watching politicians campaign with their wives. It is my impression that George and Barbara Bush are deeply in love as are George and Laura Bush, Ross and Margot Perot and, at least back then, Al and Tipper Gore. I picked up deep animosity between Bill and Hillary that persists to this day and attributed theirs to a marriage of convenience that has lasted due to the fact that they both know where most of the figurative bodies are buried. I think John and Cindy McCain like each other okay as do John and Theresa Kerry, but whatever spark that has existed is mostly gone.
With Barack and Michelle, the jury is still out but so far I'm not picking up a lot of vibes of love or even a lot of respect. Sometimes in candid shots her expression suggests she is not a happy person. And I don't see much deep affection in her eyes when she looks at Barack. But I still think and hope the rumor is false.
Still, there's something to say for refocusing him on something other than dismantling the country.
