Is the Obama Divorce Rumor Just a Rumor?

 American Spectator  

. . ."Barack wrote that Michell’s reaction to him sitting down with her to talk about running for president was to say, “God, Barack … When is it going to be enough?” Barack related that Michelle then got up, went to the bedroom, and closed the door. Their troubles continued. Barack wrote that throughout his time in office, he felt an “undercurrent of tension in her, subtle but constant.”. . .

"The rumor that Barack and Michelle Obama are headed toward a divorce has begun to spread in recent weeks. Speculation picked up after Michelle Obama skipped out on attending Jimmy Carter’s funeral and became even more pronounced when the Obamas announced that Barack would attend President Donald Trump’s inauguration while Michelle would not.

"Today, that chatter got louder when former View co-host Meghan McCain and Puck senior political correspondent Tara Palmeri gave legitimacy to the rumor on McCain’s podcast, Citizen McCain With Meghan McCain.

" 'Fast and furious loud, I have been hearing this rumor that the Obamas are getting a divorce by reputable people,” said McCain. “I’m not talking about TMZ. I’m not talking about Perez Hilton — although I love him, he’s my friend. I’m talking about like very serious journalists telling me that they’re hearing that the Obama divorce rumors are true.”

"When McCain asked Palmeri if she had heard that as well, she responded: “Oh yeah! I mean I’ve certainly heard it for a while, even before Michelle said she wasn’t coming to the inauguration…. But yeah, we’ve heard that for a long time. Like I’ve just heard that they live separate lives.” She seconded McCain’s assertion that the rumor wasn’t coming just from tabloids: “[A] lot of the sources that I like am hearing this through, they’re very political. Like this isn’t like TMZ crap that’s telling me about it.”

"Palmeri is extremely well connected, as, prior to joining Puck, she was chief national correspondent for Politico and White House correspondent for ABC News. That lends greater weight to the idea that the divorce rumors are percolating in informed political circles rather than just in tabloids." . . .Full articla here.
