Obama shakes his head 'no' as Biden grabs his arm in tense exchange at Kennedy funeral

A clip of President Barack Obama and President Joe Biden having a tense conversation at Ethel Kennedy's funeral has sparked a slew of theories on social media.

The video of the very animated interaction went viral on Wednesday during the service for the 96-year-old mataricah of the Kennedy family.

Obama appears to say 'no' and 'not good' while shaking his head in the conversation at the at St. Matthew the Apostle Catholic Cathedral at Washington, DC.

Bill Clinton's comments calling the widow of Robert Kennedy's late widow the 'cat's meow' raised eyebrows among viewers.

No audio was captured except for the blaring church organ, but social media users were immediately curious about the nature of their conversation.

Biden turned and spoke to Obama as the former president crossed his arms and shook his head while speaking back at Biden and emphasizing his point with hand gestures.

At one point, Obama even tried to turn away from Biden, prompting Biden to reach out and touch his arm.

Biden and Obama were joined at the funeral by former President Bill Clinton, who sat beside them.

The funeral is the first time Obama and Biden have met since the current president abandoned his reelection campaign and endorsed Vice President Kamala Harris.

The conversation appears to have been interrupted by Clinton who looked over at them and gestured toward the front of the cathedral.

Looked like they were right. Joe is better than Kamala. He needs his rest. Nothing before 10 am and after 4 pm. Oh, and take it easy on traveling.

At least Joe is an experienced politican even though he's senile.

Kamala did not even win a primary in 2020.

Joe was asking Barry if he’d like to rub his hairy legs.

The one thing it certainly does show is that Biden is acting like an employee of CEO Obama rather than the current President. If anyone ever wanted proof, there it is.

This reminds me of when Barrack was at Nelson Mandela’s funeral, yucking it up with the Danish Prime Minister, before Michelle shut them down!

Bill suggested he and Barack work together on owing down the vulnerable young women like Owen Wilson and Vince Vaughn in the Wedding Crashers. Start with a couples of funerals first.

Bill: What do ya’ think? Let’s give this great big town for a whirl?

Obama: No.

But you think my general idea is good, though?

Obama: No, not good.

We still don’t know what was in the note that p.o.’d the Bush family at Bush Sr. funeral. And we never will know this, either.

They’re both scared the Secret Service is going to be compelled to testify what they’ve seen and were forced to clean up since Obama took office until today.

The 3 Stooges.
“Joe, if you ask me ‘Where’s Ethel?’ one more time, I’ll have Michelle tear your tonsils out, and tie ‘em around your neck for a Bow Tie. Would you like that?”

Bill Clinton returns to the church pew, casting aspersions on the other 2 presidents: “ Ahh didn’t see you two laughing OR clapping at Mah ‘Ethel’ jokes, which I thought were pretty clever. Barack, you used to have a sense of humor!”

Bill: You thought the big thing was bundling all your insurance with one place, the limos, the mansions, the RV, the boat, the whole thing. Did that work out, all that money going out for the bundled policy?

Obama: No.

Bill: And it never occurred to you to buy only the insurance you really need, did it? How’d that work out?

Obama: Not good.

Obama needed a little Catholic shield in the church.
