Barack Obama and Michelle Obama may try to silence those ongoing divorce rumors, but they’re still not going anywhere. And we think it’s because the former First Lady continues to display very obvious signs that she isn’t her husband’s biggest fan.
The most recent instance took place during the latest episode of her IMO podcast, which she co-hosts with her brother Craig Robinson, as she seemed to mock her husband’s early political ambitions, including his dream of becoming president.
Michelle Obama Mocks Barack Obama’s Past Presidential Dreams
During a conversation about career goals with guest Victoria Monét, Robinson asked the “On My Mama” singer if she thought her hopes of success as a performer ever felt unrealistic. Monét said yes, adding that it felt like an “ambitious” thing to say out loud. That’s when Michelle, 61, jumped in, comparing it to her husband’s former political aspirations.
The Becoming author said: “It’s like my husband, ‘I want to be president of the United States.’ It’s like, no, you might want to keep that to yourself, honey.”

Barack Obama And Michelle Obama Seem To Silence Divorce Rumors On Podcast
Barack Obama actually joined his wife on her podcast in the previous episode, where the pair touched on the divorce rumors in a playful way. "Wait, you guys like each other?" Robinson asked, as he sat in-between the couple.
"She took me back. It was touch-and-go for a while," Barack joked, after which Michelle noted how "folks think we're divorced" because they aren't often spotted together these days. She then reiterated that there is no truth in the divorce speculation, adding: "There hasn't been one moment in our marriage where I thought about quitting on my man. And we've had some really hard times."
She praised her husband, with whom she shares daughters Sasha, 24, and Malia, 27, even further, and said: "So we had a lot of fun times, a lot of adventures, and I have become a better person because of the man I'm married to."
Internet Reactions
Despite what was said in the previous episode, the internet thought Michelle's dismissal of her husband's presidential dreams in the latest episode was a clear sign that she wasn't fond of him.
"Michelle Obama didn't do herself any favors with that interview, never realized what an unpleasant, bitter person she is," slammed one person in the comment section of a Daily Mail article.
"Do they even live together anymore?" asked a second, as a third observed: "She seems to delight in putting her husband down." "Can she stop embarrassing her husband already, he is the breadwinner in their family," commented a fourth, as a fifth simply declared: "What an awful woman."
"She is quite toxic!" exclaimed a sixth, as a seventh said: "She is stabbing her husband every chance she gets. What a bitter angry woman." "She's just awful. She's actually so bad I feel bad for poor Barack," wrote an eighth, while a ninth chimed in: "I always thought she was jealous of her husband, it oozes out of her."
"Most married people have hated their spouse at some point. Most have the sense not to go public with it, and get over it," commented a tenth, as an eleventh demanded: "Just divorce and get it over with, then shut up!"
