"I can't think of her just waxing poetic about him, complimenting, 'He's brilliant. He's a great dad. He was the greatest president,' whatever a normal wife of Barack Obama would say," she said, adding: "Every time she opines, it's something that reflects poorly on him."
The host of The Nerve with Maureen Callahan also appeared to feel the same way as Kelly, and said that Michelle Obama seems to view the former president as a "ball of dead weight" since leaving the White House. "I can't think of anybody I would go to for advice less than Michelle Obama. She really doesn't know what she's talking about," Callahan said.

Michelle Obama Shuts Down Divorce Rumors

Michelle opened up about the public's reaction to her absence at major events and how women's decisions are often misinterpreted, and said on the podcast: "That's the thing that we as women struggle with – disappointing people. So much so, that people – they couldn't even fathom that I was making a choice for myself — that they had to assume that my husband and I are divorcing."
