Who Wouldn't Divorce Barack Obama After He Said This?

I’ve written quite a bit about the persistent rumors that Barack and Michelle Obama are headed for divorce — not because I care but because it’s obvious they’d never go through with it. They need the illusion of a stable marriage too badly, just like Bill and Hillary Clinton did (and still do). And their relationship looks more like a political arrangement than anything else.

The carefully worded non-denials haven’t helped dispel the rumors, either. But what really stands out is how the more Michelle opens up about her marriage, the more dysfunctional it all sounds.

The latest revelation from Michelle makes it clear to me that she’s not only married to someone who was an awful president, but to someone who’s an awful human being, too.

This week, Michelle revealed Barack’s disturbing comments following her mother's death.

She made the shocking revelation during the “IMO” podcast that nobody listens to, which she co-hosts with her brother Craig Robinson. According to Michelle, her husband’s response to the passing of her 86-year-old mother, Marian Robinson, in 2024 was awful. Instead of offering comfort or showing basic human empathy, Barack told his grieving wife that she was "next up" to die.

Really? That's the consolation you offer your spouse after she loses her mother?

"I guess if anything, with mom's loss, I think that — thank God you're my big brother and I have a husband who's older," Michelle said on the podcast. "Barack was saying, you know, 'Well, you're next up.'"

Let's be honest here, this is the kind of callous remark that would make any spouse reconsider their marriage vows. Don’t you think?

Seriously, who says that?

Michelle pushed back against Barack's morbid prediction, telling him, "I'm not really ready to be next up" and deflecting that he and her brother Craig would be "next up" since they're older.

Obviously, Michelle has been working through some serious personal challenges lately. She recently said she was returning to therapy and addressing various issues with her “transitioning” to the next phase of her life.

“At this phase of my life, I’m in therapy right now because I’m transitioning, you know?” Michelle said. “I’m 60 years old, I finished a really hard thing in life with my family intact. I’m an empty nester. You know my girls are in — they’ve been launched. And now for the first time, as I’ve said before, every choice I’m making is completely mine.”

Given her husband's apparent lack of emotional intelligence, who could blame her?

Seriously, no wonder she’s in therapy.

This disturbing exchange comes as Michelle has been forced to publicly deny rumors of marital troubles. But seriously, with a husband who treats the death of your mother as an opportunity to remind you of your own mortality, wouldn't anyone be questioning their relationship?

The next time Democrats try to paint Barack Obama as some kind of empathetic, caring leader, remember how he treated his own wife in her moment of profound grief. Some things you just can't spin.
