Barack Obama stayed silent when asked whether his wife Michelle might make a bid for the White House amid swirling rumors as he was spotted leaving a Beverly Hills restaurant.
In photographs exclusively obtained by DailyMail.com, the 62-year-old former president was seen surrounded by security guards after enjoying a meal at Funke on South Santa Monica Boulevard.
Barack was dressed in a slick black blazer, open collar shirt and gray trousers for his outing at the Los Angeles hotspot - but one Secret Service car in his motorcade looked worse for wear.
Onlookers can be heard gasping as the SUV zoomed past them, and streetlights illuminated a huge dent on its right flank along with lengthy silver scratches through the black paintwork.
Meanwhile, Michelle Obama, 59, is vacationing aboard Steven Spielberg's yacht near Portofino on the Italian Riviera with Tom Hanks, his wife Rita Wilson, and Spielberg's spouse Kate Capshaw.
Paparazzi who caught her husband leaving the restaurant asked him whether she would be making a bid for the White House - but he did not offer a comment.
Barack said something inaudible to waiting photographers but did not clearly respond to the question.
It is not clear what had happened to former president's Secret Service vehicle but it screeched off after exiting the parking garage.
It comes after prominent Texas politician and former Republican candidate Ted Cruz speculated that Michelle could replace Joe Biden before the 2024 election.
The Texas Senator said Democrats may be looking to avoid nominating 80-year-old Biden over concerns about his advanced age.
'Here's the scenario that I think is perhaps most likely, and most dangerous,' he said on his 'Verdict with Ted Cruz' podcast. 'In August of 2024, the Democrat kingmakers jettison Joe Biden and parachute in Michelle Obama.'

LOL! You have no clue who’s riding with Trump!
She’s not running. Over Hillary’s dead body.
True. Hitlary is still around and has a lot of connections in DC. Plus she can just kill off any of her opposition and no one will care.
Waddling? Maybe....
Running? Never...
The }{€££ with everything else !!!
I want to know what happened to the side of My/Our (The People’s) High $$$ Suburban ????
Did someone hit a stationary object ? Another vehicle ? A person ? A UFOUAPAAPUAPADAMNEDFLYINGSAUCER or whatever they’re calling them this week?
Barry put back race relations in the US 3 decades.
imagine mooch, heels’up and aoc in a debate...
Mike looks very 'presidential' here, dont you think?
Those 3 SUV’s are fully armored
up. Impenetrable from small arms
fire, with a cost for each at
close to a million bucks.
Plenty of protection for retired
presidents. Trump affords the same
protection.
The new refugee citizens will start the civil war
“But a civil war would destroy America, and that’s really all they want.”
Yep.
Rule #1: The elites want you dead.
Of course the SUV was armored thars not the point here. Former presidents get minimal protection compared to the sitting President because there’s no point in killing them. They aren’t the President anymore.
They don’t get 14 car full presidential motorcades with an ambulance and heavy police escort. Trump’s motorcades are full presidential motorcades with whole expressways and streets closed down. Everywhere, everytime Trump gets the full presidential motorcade. There’s a reason for it. Wake up!
Re: 49 - thanks for the update. That poster will continue posting fake news and show it as evidence that President Trump is still the President. It’s just a conspiracy theory.
Indeed with all the millions she has and dresses like that proof money doesn’t bring class.
Doesnt have a classy bone in her ugly body.
Amen
