Michelle Obama has gone public with her side of the story on a recent book stating that she has had tremendous friction with her husband’s advisory team.  A new book by New York Times reporter Jody Kantor describes Mrs. Obama’s relationship with the president’s team as being one that often results in friction.

The First Lady spoke with Gayle King of CBS News, stating that she is “not an expert on most of the issues that [the president] is dealing with on a daily basis.”  She also says that she’s tired of being characterized as  ”some kind of angry black woman.”

“I am one of his biggest confidants, but he has dozens of really smart people who surround him,” she said. “I want him and he wants to be talking to the people with the best information. That’s not to say that we don’t have discussions and conversations. That’s not to say that my husband doesn’t know how I feel.”
