London, May 16 (PTI): Michelle Obama contemplated divorcing Barack Obama in 2000 after he ignored her advice not to run for a House seat in Chicago, making him so “depressed” that friends feared he might commit suicide, says a new book.
According to the book, Michelle prepared divorce papers in 2000 following Obama’s disastrous attempt to win a House seat in Chicago. She was upset that he ignored her advice not to take on the four-term incumbent Bobby Rush.
Their marriage — in its eighth year at the time — was “on the rocks” with Obama so depressed that some of his friends feared he was suicidal, author Edward Klein says in his book The Amateur.
