It highlights a quote in which Obama says Michelle wants him to \u201cease up\u201d and spend more time with her, adding that this creates \u201cgenuine tension\u201d and frustrates her. The piece notes that multiple outlets (including USA Today, The Self-reliant, and Fox News) promoted different angles on the remarks, with some suggesting the tension is linked to the political era under donald Trump.The excerpt also <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/watch-democrat-senator-chuck-schumer-refers-to-homeless-kids-as-retarded-children\/\" title=\"WATCH: Democrat Senator Chuck Schumer Refers To Homeless Kids As \u2018Retarded Children\u2019\">includes additional context<\/a> from the same interview, including Obama\u2019s views on opposing the Trump governance and comments about how hard it is for people to fully understand what he\u2019s been doing, plus remarks criticizing Trump and mentioning the Obamas\u2019 wealth.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><br \/>\n<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC \"-\/\/W3C\/\/DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional\/\/EN\" \"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/TR\/REC-html40\/loose.dtd\"><br \/>\n<?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><html><body><\/p>\n<section> \t\t\t\t<script>console.log(\"ad slot (AC1)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC1)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC2)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC3)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC4)\")<\/script><\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s the speculative question that just won\u2019t go away: What <em>is <\/em>the status of the Obamas\u2019 marriage?<\/p>\n<p>Everybody, from <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/tucker-carlson-drops-bombshell-obama-marriage\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">podcasters<\/a> to the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/meghan-mccain-exacerbates-obama-divorce-rumors-live-separate-lives\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">daughter<\/a> of a former member of the Senate, has speculated on whether Barack and Michelle Obama were headed for divorce or not.<\/p>\n<p>(Not helping matters were <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/michelle-obama-glad-didnt-son-dont-want-another-barack\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">some<\/a> of the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/michelle-obama-stokes-divorce-rumors-eerie-choice-words-interview\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">quotes<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/michelle-obama-addresses-bombshell-divorce-rumors-choosing\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">proffered<\/a> by the former first lady.)<\/p>\n<p>Yet through it all, Barack and Michelle have largely <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/michelle-obama-addresses-bombshell-divorce-rumors-choosing\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">laughed<\/a> this sort of speculation off as much ado about nothing.
