London, February 17 : Former British Prime Minister Tony Blair's wife, Cherie, has warned US First Lady, Michelle Obama, that she will not be equal to her husband, and that her views will be silenced.

According to reports, Cherie believes that Michelle cannot be seen to "have power".

"It's almost like you cannot afford to express any separate views," the Sun quoted her as telling US magazine More.

"Whatever it is you're doing as First Lady it's not being equal," she added. (ANI)
