Axios has a piece out about the former First Lady NOT happy about Joe Biden’s sin Beau’s wife…..
It appears that Michelle Obama has NOT been happy about Biden’s, son Hunter’s ex-wife’s Buhle treatment by the Biden family….Hunter went on to date his gone brother’s wife….
That caused friction with the two sides….
In addition, it has come to light that the President Obama people and the Biden people had their own friction in 2020…..
Even a feeling that Obama wanted Hillary Clinton to run against Trump in 2026, even though Biden was his Vice President…That Happened and her lost gave us 4 years of Donald Trump……
There was also the Hunter Biden problems that have never stopped….
Reality check: Michelle Obama’s absence from the campaign trail to this point in 2024 isn’t just about her relationship with Buhle — it also reflects her longstanding distaste for partisan politics.
- Speaking about his daughters at a splashy Hollywood fundraiser for Biden this month, Barack Obama said: “Michelle drilled into them so early that you would be crazy to go into politics.”
The Biden-Obama family relationship is complicated, but there are moments of warmth.
…
What they’re saying: Crystal Carson, a spokesperson for Michelle Obama, reiterated that the former First Lady supports Biden’s re-election and added: “she is friends with Kathleen and with the Bidens. Two things can be true.”
- White House spokesperson Andrew Bates told Axios: “The Biden and Obama families are like family to one other, and whomever made these claims about that relationship isn’t familiar with it.”
- Buhle did not respond to a request for comment.
Zoom out: In 2015, the Bidens were all grateful for Barack Obama’s moving eulogy for Beau Biden.
- The families’ relationship became increasingly tense over the next two years, however, when the president discouraged Joe Biden from running for president in 2015, and Hunter and Buhle’s marriage began to spiral.
- At Hunter’s recent felony gun trial, Buhle testified that they separated in early July 2015 — weeks after Beau’s funeral — when she found a crack cocaine pipe at their home and he confessed to using the drug.
Barack Obama’s aides have long privately argued that he saw his role in 2015 as a sounding board as Biden considered running— and that Obama was focused on being there for Biden as he grieved Beau’s death.
- But Biden felt that his boss preferred Hillary Clinton, as Biden suggested in his post-vice presidential memoir, “Promise Me, Dad” — and more explicitly told special counsel Robert Hur in his interview last year.
- Biden recalled that in 2015, “a lot of people … were encouraging me to run in this period, except the president …. He just thought that [Clinton] had a better shot of winning the presidency than I did.”
Hunter Biden, meanwhile, had grown to resent the Obama White House over issues beyond Buhle’s relationship with Michelle Obama, according to his memoir.
- After Obama picked Biden to be his running mate for the 2008 election, Obama’s team made Hunter quit his job as a lobbyist because of concerns about the optics.
- Hunter wrote in his book that quitting that job felt like “riding the escalator without an exit. I once again had huge expenses and no savings, and now I had to bust my ass to build another career from scratch.”….

Honestly who cares?
We have a democracy to save.
People who are too obtuse to make a choice between fascism and our country can obsess over this family drama shit.
True patriots like Adam Kinzinger have the balls to actually go against the party they poured decades of their life into.
Indeed….
Just a side show and lets us remember that people ARE PEOPLE even if they are FAMOUS….
It is definitely a human interest story. Why would people close to Michelle Obama start talking about this though to a reporter.
I am glad Scott now admires Adam Kinzinger, someone he has never interacted with in any way. Scott has interacted with me since 2004, knowing I was a Republican, and when I decided to vote for Joe Biden in 2020, Scott got upset. He immediately began launching more insults and personal attacks towards me than ever before and just was an even great online d-bag towards me than he had been previously. I guess some people just need an outlet to let that hate out.
You’ve been a d bag to me too CG.
Insinuating that I’m a violent alcoholic.
All I’m saying about you is that you’re a jester. Not a serious commenter.
You made a drunken violent threat against me here, which james had to delete, years before I endorsed Joe Biden in 2020. Since you apologized afterwards, I got over that.
It would make no sense thought that my deciding to vote for a Democrat suddenly triggered you the way it did. You were genuinely upset that I was not for Trump. So, that is why I do not think you are being honest about this praise for Kinzinger. You would prefer that Kinzinger and all Republicans join Nikki Haley in supporting Trump. You only brought him up here as passive aggressive messaging to me
Your memory is fuzzy. I congratulated you in 2020 for your decision to vote for Biden.
Since them you’ve pur ridiculous expectations on him in order to “earn” your vote again.
I know you’re mad it’s not 2004 anymore but that isn’t the President’s fault. He’s not going to reinvade Iraq and Kamala Harris isn’t going to shoot a friend in the face to appease your misplaced nostalgia.
If you posted that here, I never saw it. I would have remembered seeing it. After that point, late in the 2020 campaign, when I was still posting here often, you increased the vitriol.
What I remember from here exactly was james giving a one word response like “yay” and jack saying “was that so hard?”
I think I just said “good”. Or something to that effect.
It doesn’t matter now. Apparently even Jan 6 and the Republican Party completely turning over theirvrrins to the tyrant who orchestrated that day’s events aren’t important enough for you to do the right thing this year so carry on.
I am doing the right thing. Neither candidate deserves my vote. As I have said, if I lived in a swing state or one that would be remotely competitive, I would vote (again) for Biden.
He can win Illinois without my vote. I hope he improves his situation nationally tonight.
