Suddenly it seems as though the Obama duo are getting more publicity than Biden.
First, they are the power couple sent to rescue the drowning golden child, Kamala, when her own ineptitude proved far too weighty after the bloodless coup against Biden.
The next minute, they’re on the outs — rumors of divorce papers being drawn up.
Michelle goes missing in action, skipping high profile public functions that would normally have her side-by-side with Barack.
And then, Barack Obama posts a romantic tribute to his wife, and suddenly all is good again — right?
Not so fast.
Did anyone pay attention to the picture Barack posted? I mean, sure — the WORDS were sweet and romantic.
But… as a married man, I can confidently say that the picture he captured of Michelle was NOT in the category of photos she’d feel comfortable sharing publicly.
My wife would KILL me if I posted a photo like that.
Just look at that beautiful face. pic.twitter.com/Gk3K7FSpe2

I know the man said she looks good in the post, but that doesn’t change the fact that she absolutely doesn’t!
And then suddenly… those divorce rumors are stirred right back up again!
On one side, there are the In Style articles, glowing over the flowery words and oh-so-obvious love shared by the Obama power couple:
The Obamas don’t post about each other often, however, every time they do, it’s always heartwarming—and today was no exception.
Over the years, they have also been quite candid about their relationship. Michelle opened up about the struggles they’ve experienced over their 32-year-long marriage while appearing on the “On Purpose With Jay Shetty” podcast on January 8, 2024.
She admitted their romance has never been perfect, and they’ve “made a lot of mistakes.” However, their commitment to one another and dedication to working through tough times have made their bond successful.
But then there are articles spurred on by Barack’s picture post that see what I see.
An awkward reach over the table, the “bizarre” amount of space in between them, and momentary smiles meant only for the camera — those details don’t seem to squash the divorce rumors.
And that picture isn’t the only awkward view of the two together raising eyebrows.
Body language experts have analyzed the last public outing when they were seen together for dinner at a ritzy LA restaurant, according to a report in The Sun:
The Obamas have not been pictured together in nearly a month.
The pair were last spotted together stepping out for dinner at the Mother Wolf restaurant in Los Angeles in mid-December.
A body language expert raised some concerns about the couple’s last public outing, telling the Daily Mail the Obamas showed “no active signals of togetherness.”
“[Barack] looks rather somber here but otherwise relaxes as he walks behind his wife, who sports the kind of wide, beaming smile with downward-pointing eye-gaze that suggests a coy kind of happiness,” expert Judi James claimed.
“Sitting together in the car they both stared ahead in the photo but this is a common celebrity response if the paparazzi are lighting up the sky outside.”
Still, James noted “there is no sign in that shot of any chatting or coupling between them.
ADVERTISEMENT“Michelle looks relaxed and happy walking to the car but there are no active signals of togetherness for the cameras, with Barack himself wearing a more serious or dour expression as he walks behind his wife.”
I can’t help but feel like there are underlying themes that want to be brought out of the picture Barack posted.
Some crude realities that are hidden behind the thin veil of propriety and fancy decorum.
And then… I found this.

I think that version of the photo nailed it. It still maintains the fake smiles and awkward arm reach across the broad breadth of the table — but with far more gritty reality brought to the forefront.
I’m sure things are actually just peachy with the two Marxist rebels, and the recent political calamity that rocked their world is only serving to bring the two closer and closer together, as God intended.

But somewhere deep down in my gut, I know a marriage needs more than a proclivity for tight leather attire and a natural thick winter coat to last the test of time.
Even a shared worldview isn’t enough… when that worldview is crumbling beneath the feet of your sworn enemies, to the delight of a majority of the country.
Fake lovey-dovey post or not, I see a marriage falling into ruin — if ever it was a marriage above ruin to begin with.
Power corrupts, and absolute power corrupts absolutely. But for a Marxist, the loss of all power means a crushing blow to your soul without recovery; except for the increase in malevolence.
And if you think they aren’t going to take that out on each other, or that they have the wherewithal to keep this charade up for long, just for looks…
I have some some oceanfront property in Arizona I’d love you to take a look at.
