Is the Obama marriage on the rocks? Astonishing claims emerge of ugly fights

With invitations warning guests to ‘EBYC’ — Eat Before You Come — and rumours they’ll be dancing to star turns from Beyonce and her rapper husband Jay Z, it won’t be your usual White House knees-up.

Michelle Obama was 50 yesterday and President Barack Obama will be feting his redoubtable First Lady tonight with a party that will give them the chance to let their hair down and forget their troubles for a few hours.

The email inviting guests to the ‘snacks & sips & dancing & dessert’ advised them to wear comfortable shoes and practise their dance moves.

Purse-lipped Washington etiquette experts have tutted at the informality of it all, but the Obamas have always been keen to appear accessible, even if the stand-offish reality is somewhat different.

The Obamas are the world’s most scrutinised couple at the best of times, but it will be rare to find a guest at the bash who won’t be secretly watching them with particular interest.

After all, the last time they were pictured together — at Nelson Mandela’s memorial — the First Lady was looking none too pleased as the her husband posed for a ‘selfie’ photograph with the leggy blonde Danish Prime Minister, Helle Thorning-Schmidt.

Indeed, if the U.S. tabloids are to be believed, the relationship of Washington’s golden couple is facing problems that go far beyond dirty looks.

Under the headline Obama Divorce Bombshell!, the National Enquirer claims their 21-year marriage has dissolved in a string of ugly fights that were prompted by the Mandela memorial incident and — far more outrageously — Mrs Obama’s discovery that Secret Service bodyguards had been covering up infidelity on her husband’s part.

It’s an allegation the White House has declined to comment on, though after Bill Clinton’s trouser-dropping scandals, Americans would be rather...

...Mrs Obama’s discovery that Secret Service bodyguards had been covering up infidelity on her husband’s part.

Male or female?

I know it's a pile of gossip, but let's get all the details!

This marriage was never real. The only question is whether she ever thought it was.

I'd imagine it is very much a marriage of convenience.

Though even being in a partnership with a complete narcissist (as O is) probably would be very trying and she seems predispositioned towards unhappiness anyway. It is probably a very toxic combination.

If there is any fighting, my guess is, it's all her. He seems very passive aggressive and probably never raises his voice, he just knows the buttons to push.

let’s not forget that when G W Bush was President, the GLOBE and EXAMINER tabloids were full of claims of “divorce” rumors.

he’s been carrying on with Reggie Love for some time...this is not news

It’s better than a “boy named Sue”!

Could there be any other type?

[Cringing Negativism Network]

Wow.

I don’t ordinarily say this, but the linked article has an amazing photo of the Obamas, with Mrs. Obama yelling, about what I don’t know.

All I can say is, I had never seen that look on her face before.

Recommended link.

Obama should have a beer with Jim McGreevey.

Oprah has described the estate as a place where she and guests sit on the porch sipping guava cocktails, and ride horses to the top of the mountain to watch the sun go down.

Gonna need some BIG horses for those two to ride.

Thanks for the link - fascinating.

[afraidfortherepublic]

That’s what I was thinking!

[jocon307]

True, true.

[usconservative]

If Obama can't spend TAXPAYER DOLLARS on a party and has to spend HIS OWN MONEY --- guess what happens? ROFL!

The word in Chicago around the 2008 election was that unless Barry ran, Michelle was planning on divorcing him anyway.

I think we all know what's gonna happen within a few years of Obama finally leaving office: they'll "quietly" divorce.

You can see the signs of it coming: separate vacations, not travelling together, etc..

I honestly do not know one lovable liberal. They are remote unhappy people who are not capable of showing genuine love. This is why they have these compassionate ideals, it makes them appear to be caring.

Yeah, like Prissy Barry is having affair with....(YUCK!)....wimmen!

...Mrs Obama’s discovery that Secret Service bodyguards had been covering up infidelity on her husband’s part.

Wake up honey... He lies to everyone including you! Or did you think he only lied to "the little people?" Maybe what upset wookie is not that he was fooling around - but who or what (gender, race, species) he was fooling around with.

But hey, I understand bammy somewhat too. I wouldn't want to put up with wookie. I wouldn't want to "come home" to that (if ya know what I mean) every night either... She does not impress me as a particularly loving/giving person.

WOW! That lets it all hang out! I think I have heard all of it except the transsexual nanny part. Don't think I remember hearing that before.
