Barack Obama has offered a rare and candid glimpse into his marriage - and it turns out Donald Trump is causing trouble at home. The former President, 64, admitted in an interview that Michelle wants him to step back from public life so the couple can enjoy their later years together. The problem? He keeps getting pulled back into the politics of the day. The former commander-in-chief said Trump's return to the White House is the reason he cannot simply walk away, and that his inability to do so has become a source of friction at home. 'It does create genuine

These worthless grifters blame Trump for issues in their marriage? The stench is overwhelming!

You can bet some TDS'ers will buy into it, too. Barry is beyond full of himself. He thinks he's a walking god. Michelle (aka Mikey) is useless, too.

It is understandable when criminals get nervous about a new sheriff in town who might go after criminals. Is it Trump that has michelle upset, or so many visits with new men friends he never brings home for dinner?

Mike should be aware of the enormous ego Obama has which is why he cannot ignore the calls for comment.
We, the U.S. and the world would be so much better off if he would just shut up and go away as Mike wants him to do.

No worries, Barry. Just enjoy your retirement and let Biden take up the slack. After all, he got more votes than you did.

When BO was elected, he was hailed as the second coming. Being the weak person he is, his ego expanded to fill all available space. It has been all downhill from then.
The Left would like to move on from BO because he became a loser, but because of the desperate state the dems are in, they have to keep recycling oldy, moldy ex leaders. They can't get any mileage out of Kamalalala or Bidet. All of the support players from Bidet's stage show proved they are grossly incompetent. Chuckie and Schiffty are DOA. The new "leaders" are infantile and useless. All the Deep Staters that have gone after Trump are looking at jail time or LOTS of legal problems.
BO is about the only one that can still draw some attention and not immediately implode. Of course he then needs a message that resonates and BO can't seem to find one to save his soul. His preachy admonitions to Leftists are not well received. He is so diminished that Trump is mostly ignoring him.
That's a sad state to be in for an egomaniac.
And of course, MO's appearances have not worked out very well either. She keeps trying to find herself and it seems like there is nothing there.

Thank God for Saint Barack!
To be willing to sacrifice his legendary, loving marriage to try to save us mere peasants from our foolish choices of electing an evil dictator to replace him!!!!

Trump has had to put up with the hate this C-sucker has nurtured, and the assassination attempts that hate has caused, and now the magic Negro wants to blame his failing marriage on Trump. The nerve of this Muslim scum is unreal.
Yes ego and hate is driving this fool, and the media is his tool .

Can they possibly get any more pathetic than this? Just when you think they've scraped the bottom of the barrel with their TDS, they go and grab a shovel and dig a little bit deeper. Barry's sham marriage (a gay guy married to a tranny) is in the toilet, yet it's Trump's fault? It's easily the dumbest thing they've come up with yet!

I call BS on this. It’s clear to anyone who listens to Michelle moan and groan about her miserable life that she does NOT like her husband in the least. I don’t believe she wants to spend one more minute with him unless it’s to be fawned over at public events.

I never thought Michelle loved, respected or even liked Barak Obama. It's not hard for a former president to step back after he's served his term. George W. Bush is seldom in the public eye and seems to prefer it.

The fact that he airs this in public tells you a lot about this one.
A narcissist of the first order. He's already done a lot of damage but his time has passed. Fear not. Barry will face a reckoning on the other side of eternity.

The more we find out what 0bama actually did to this country, the more he’s compelled to crawl out from under his rock to try and smooth it over. It’s called “consciousness of guilt”. Expect to see much more of this.

No, dummy, you've caused trouble in your marriage because you can't put that political bat down, like a crack addict. Obama is all politics, all the time. He's a bore (not a boar).

I know Democrats like to blame everything bad that happens on Trump, but Obama has jumped-the-shark on this one. It isn’t Trump’s fault that he won’t stop trying to sabotage trump. His marriage problems are his own fault.

This is laughable. She hates his guts and doesn't even try to hide it.
All that unearned wealth and underserved admiration by the weak-minded, and she's still miserable. Good.

Skeptical. A narrative for the credulous, the hopeful, and the true believers.
Contrast and compare, can one imagine Truman, Eisenhower, JFK, President Trump suggesting public policy impacts their marriages?
Directed to the Oprahfied, Dr. Phil daytime TV cohort who see all in transient, emotional terms.
A sympathy bid, for a fanbase unburdened by any real understanding of the dynamics of marriages at the national leadership level.
Especially this marriage, speculatively estranged and arranged.

#8, you had me laughing out loud.
This reminded me of El Rushbo's oft-stated description of 0bama. Something like 0bama was always the least competent person in any room he's in.

Barak Obama is too much of an attention where to pass up the opportunity to be front and center. No amount of quality time with Michelle could ever replace the adoration of Obama's cult followers.

If I had the money that hundreds of suckers gave to Barack and Michelle, I would be sitting on the front porch of that estate in Oahu with a Mai-Tai in my hand and watching the waves roll in while I listened to classical music to drown Mooch's irritating voice out, but that's just me.

Tension in what marriage. Both pathetic human beings who lived off the taxpayers dime. Barack Hussein Obama is a legend in his own mind. He is a product of the corrupt political system of Chicago and probably the most unqualified president of all time. He and his wife were held afloat by the corrupt media, hollywood elites and night time tv hosts. He did nothing that benefitted our country and our enemies grew bolder under his weak leadership. Fact is he had the spine of a jellyfish. .

Brock and Mooch are giving Harry and Me-Again a run for the most annoying pathetic couple in the country. Maybe the four of them could sell their various mansions and buy an island somewhere. Preferably one with no communication technology, no airstrip and surrounded by shark infested waters.
