A new book, called "The Amateur" is getting publicity, because of the way it treats First Lady Michelle Obama. According to this book, Michelle is jealous about women surrounding her husband, President Barack Obama. She has allegedly distanced several women from her husband, including Oprah, who had helped the couple during the last elections.
Sooo ...What is new? We have heard the same about Hillary Clinton, when her husband Bill was the (popular) President. There were stories flying around Cherie Blair when her husband Tony was the British Prime Minister. Years ago - there were similar stories about Leah Rabin, the wife of the late Israeli Prime Minister Itzhak (Rabin).
I know a different Hillary Clinton. I like her. I also know a likable Cherie Blair. I got along with the late Mrs. Rabin ...So how come, they have faced such unflattering rumours?
Asif Ali Zardari, the President of Pakistan had an answer to this question.
When I asked him and his late wife Benazir Bhutto, in one of our interviews, about his bad reputation, he shot back: "It is always about the spouse. He or she is the soft belly of the leader ..."
Asif felt that the years he had spent in prison, and the negative media about him were caused by people who wanted to hurt the leader, his wife. You can read more about it in my book "My Benazir" (links on: www.daphnebarak.com).
Do you agree with him?
