The Obamas were supposed to meet with director Rob Reiner and his wife, Michele, the night they were allegedly killed by their son, Nick Reiner, in their home in Los Angeles.

“We were supposed to be seeing them that night — last night — and we got the news,” Michelle Obama said on “Jimmy Kimmel Live!” Monday night, when host Jimmy Kimmel asked how she was coping with the news of her friends’ murders.

The former first lady said she and her husband were devastated when they learned that the legendary filmmaker and his wife, with whom they had been friends for “many, many years,” had been killed.

“Let me just say this: Unlike some people, Rob and Michele Reiner are some of the most decent, courageous people you would ever want to know,” she said — appearing to allude to remarks made by former President Trump, who called Reiner “deranged” and “tortured and struggling” in a Truth Social post following the filmmaker’s death.

“They are not deranged or crazed. What they have always been are passionate people who — in a time when there’s not a lot of courage going on — they were the kind of people who were ready to put their actions behind what they cared about. And they cared about their family.”

Following the couple’s deaths, former President Obama released a statement praising the Reiners’ legacy.

“Michelle and I are heartbroken by the tragic passing of Rob Reiner and his beloved wife, Michele. Rob’s achievements in film and television gave us some of our most cherished stories on screen,” he wrote on X.

“And they cared about this country. And they cared about fairness and equity. And that is the truth. I do know them,” she added.

Where do the Obama’s stay in California? One thing for sure is they never pay for their own place. So who is putting them up?

I use to live near their Oahu vacation spot and that SOB made sure to cause as much disruption for the most amount of people when he was there. I always got a kick when they would close the beach AFTER he left because of the leaking sewage at Kailua beach.
