He’s got jokes.

Michelle Obama said her husband, Barack Obama, joked she was “next up” after her mom, Marian Robinson, passed away at age 86 in May 2024.

During Wednesday’s episode of the former first lady and her brother Craig Robinson’s “IMO” podcast, Michelle recalled a conversation she had with the 44th president of the US.

“I guess if anything, with mom’s loss, I think that — thank God you’re my big brother and I have a husband who’s older,” she told Craig, 63.

“Barack was saying, you know, ‘Well, you’re next up.’ I was like, ‘I’m not really ready to be next up.’ I told him, ‘You’re next up and Craig is next up.’ I delegate that power to you,” Michelle, 61, shared.

The “Becoming” author and her older brother revealed that Marian has been “preparing” them for when she would no longer be alive.

Michelle reminds me of a spoiled, pouting 10 year old.

Michelle is coming to terms with the fact that Barack doesn’t love her and never did. That knowledge is the source of all her bitterness and anger, no matter what she is complaining about on the surface.

I believe barack would be fine if Michelle disappeared. That way barack can pursue his gay fantasies.

Next up to pass away or next up to be the matriarch of the family .
Story conveniently leaves out what was meant by the comment.
Big difference

She’s sounding like the Prince Charles of presidential spouses...in so many ways.

Actually, I feel sorry for Michelle. I think she is finally realizing that Barak is a ruthless, cold-blooded monster.
