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.
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.”
