Somebody should talk to the guy on the right. He might be able to provide some insight.

Former President Barack Obama and wife Michelle have finally sought to shut down the long-running rumors they’re headed for divorce — even though they’ve barely been seen together in months.
The former first couple jointly addressed the speculation swirling around their three-decade marriage for the first time Wednesday, joking on the latest episode of the ex-first lady’s podcast that it was “touch and go for a while.”
“He made time in his busy schedule to come on. We are honored,” Michelle, 61, told listeners before her co-host and brother, Craig Robinson, shot back, “Wait, you guys like each other?”
“She took me back,” Barack, 63, quickly chimed in. “It was touch and go for a while.”
Robinson went on to note it was nice to have the couple in the same room together, prompting Michelle to fire back, “I know because when we aren’t, folks think we’re divorced.”
The Obamas have tried to quell speculation by posting cute pics on social media — even as they seemed to live mostly separate lives in public.
The whispers hit fever-pitch when the former first lady noticeably skipped two high-profile events earlier this year: former President Jimmy Carter’s funeral and President Trump’s inauguration.

How can we miss those two if they won’t go away?
Who cares?
Like others have said, their marriage is now strictly for business purposes.
Just like Bill and Hill.
Time and time again, when Hussein was still in the White House, Michelle My Bell would fly separately.
Make them stop, make them stop.
Somebody should talk to the guy on the right. He might be able to provide some insight.
Spousal privilege from being forced to testify against the other?
Do they really crave that much attention? That’s sick! Do she and her brother have nothing else to talk about? Business is slow so her husband is on their “whatever” show? Or would we rather not know their views on ANYTHING? Yeah - that’s what I’d prefer - NOTHING!
Humiliation ritual for Barry.
She’s “honored”?
Kinda weird a wife would be honored that her husband would on her podcast no one listens to. Whatever, l could not care less if these wretched traitors get divorced or not. Did she ask him if he killed the chef?
It’s a business, not a marriage.
There will be no split.
It’s just their busy schedules.
That’s how the Ruling Class rolls.
Just wait for the sneak shot of holding hands on the beach pix.
Yawn
Barack and Mike have a GENTLEMEN’S bet on who will come out first.
Not me!
My thoughts exactly!
Exactly!
Look to the Clintons as a role model.
A lot of political couples are like that.
Until they aren’t — eventually the Gary Harts and Albert Gores and Bob Dole’s first family break up after years of separate lives.
But the Clintons have managed to stay “together” while living apart, and it’s likely that the Obamas are giving that a chance.
Divorces are expensive. So the Obamas are better off staying together.
Michelle can vacation on a yacht in the Mediterranean while Barry is hanging out in California.

The dork and the wife, neither had a real job in their sorry lives.
