Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton have the support of their spouses. That is obvious to anyone who knows about them. But what’s less expected are their first-person pieces arguing for the candidates they know best in the latest issue of Us Weekly.
“I tell people I am married to the answer,” Michelle Obama, 44, wrote to the celebrity news magazine. “If I weren’t married to him, I’d still want a Barack Obama presidency right now �” not in four or eight years, but now.”
As the spousal counterpart of Michelle Obama, Bill Clinton wrote his own column.
“I’m really proud of Hillary’s campaign – the big goals she’s setting for America and the plans she has to achieve them. For most of her adult life, Hillary Clinton was a public servant without a public office,” the former President of the U.S. said.
The full columns? We’ll have to wait for those.
We enjoy both Bill Clinton and Michelle Obama and think it’s very cool they did this. We also like Cindy McCain, who was for some reason not profiled by the publication for this feature. Oh well, maybe next time, Cindy.
