Hey Folks! this is a pretty juicy story.
There has been a report that Michelle Obama is upset with Biden over how her good friend Kathleen Buhle was treated by the Biden family after a rocky divorce from Hunter Biden.
The “camaraderie” between the Bidens and Obamas has a history dating back to at least 2015.
Remember in 2007 Biden had to apologize for for saying Obama is the first “mainstream African-American who is articulate and bright and clean and a nice-looking guy. I mean, that’s a story-book, man.”
But relations took a turn when then-President Obama discouraged Joe Biden from running for office and when the Bidens had to process the tragic loss of son Beau to cancer. Then there was Hunter Biden and Buhle’s divorce in 2017, which further strained the relationship.
Now, Barack Obama has been out there, attending fundraisers and posting about Biden’s campaign. But Michelle? Not so much. She’s been focusing on her non-partisan voter registration group, When We All Vote.
After a 2017 fundraiser for the Beau Biden Foundation, Michelle privately expressed her belief that Buhle, her friend, had been unfairly treated.
From Axios:
Michelle Obama, who had become friends with Buhle during the Obama administration, privately told others that she felt Buhle had been wronged.
Buhle had to deal with Hunter’s drug use and infidelity — and then Biden family members blamed Buhle for some of the salacious details of his behavior becoming public.
Remember, a year later, Hunter was involved in the federal gun case he had just been convicted of.
We also know that Hunter resented the Obama’s.
“I didn’t hang around the White House much; I didn’t want to be in the position of walking into a barbecue on a Sunday with the president and the White House staff after reading about someone throwing my dad under the bus,” he wrote in his book. “I knew I couldn’t control my temper and keep my mouth shut.”
Just imagine what Obama and his aids are saying now.
Axios did report that First Lady Jill Biden did attend a memorial service for Michelle Obama’s mother.
