gcarl, So. Where is the problem with Micheal?

Elsy O. Stromberg, A perfect example of these people being protected by the media. Jack and Jackie were portrayed always as perfect people. Never mind that he was a serial adulterer and his wife was a bit of a spoiled woman who must have had a very hard time trying to keep up her image of perfection.

You forgot about the most recent skeleton in the closet. Michelle Obamas' real name is Micheal.

Imelda Marco's shoes were no secret. I'm glad we never saw Jackie K. smoking.

I bet quite a few of our heads of state, most of them usually men, may have had some secrets as well.

Glinda H. Vegliacich, very true. Her first husband, asked for a divorce and she was very happy to agree and then after she "signed on the dotted line" so to speak, he never bothered to follow through with the legalities.

Knew all of the "secrets " about our first ladies. Also had read about Diana's bulimia. The infidelities of the European leaders doesn't surprise me. I've often thought that the people in some of those countries should be ashamed of their royalty. Of course that woman with all the shoes made the news BIG TIME.
