It is claimed that they are the ones pulling the strings on Democratic politicians in power and have been able to dictate their agenda.
They are apparently the ones making the biggest political plays, despite having left the White House more than 8 years ago.

They have also been subjected to recent reports that they are heading for divorce, with sources telling the New York Post that they are essentially living different lives.

The Grind vs. The Glamour: Parents Reportedly Worried About Malia Ann’s “Enamored” Beverly Hills Habits
An insider claimed that while she has extensive experience, having worked in Hollywood “since she was a college student and meeting a lot of the industry’s biggest players, she still devotes herself to partying and socializing, when now is the time she should be buckling down and showing people what she’s really capable of.”
The pal stated that Malia Obama has made many friends and has a ton of connections in Hollywood because the former first daughter became notorious for her partying during her freshman year at Harvard, and sources say not much has changed.
The insider added: “She loves living and working in Hollywood, but it’s the lifestyle she’s become enamored with, not the grind and the inevitable rejection that comes with a serious writing career.”
Her parents, Barack and Michelle Obama, are reportedly worried about her habits, including “Beverly Hills shopping sprees, dining at expensive restaurants, and splurging on spas and salons.”
The outlet claims that Malia Ann, while having fun and enjoying her youth, has been working hard and has, of course, benefited from her famous last name.
The Harvard graduate was a production assistant on Halle Berry’s drama Extant and as a writer on Donald Glover’s series Swarm. With Swarm cocreator Janine Nabers praising her, saying, “She’s an incredible writer.”
In 2023, Malia made her directorial debut with the short film The Heart, which premiered at Sundance.
Embracing Failure: Michelle Obama Subtly Pushes Back On Drama By Emphasizing Value Of Losing
However, it seems that, in a subtle way, former First Lady Michelle Obama has pushed back on reports involving her daughters.
Michelle Obama seems to hint that she has no issue with her children making mistakes and failing in their lives — as a matter of fact, she and Barack Obama welcome failure. The bestselling author revealed that failing is part of the process.
During a podcast episode, Michelle Obama sends a powerful message to her daughters, Malia and Sasha, emphasizing the value of losing or failing before achieving great success.
On the podcast, IMO, which she co-hosts with her brother Craig, Michelle Obama confessed: “Failure isn’t a bad thing for kids to see in their parents. Seeing a parent fail is beneficial because it gives, I’ve found, permission to have those same emotions.”
Before Mr Obama became the first black president in US history, he lost a congressional bid years ago, and Michelle Obama previously failed the bar exam. And Obama was “not financially stable” when the couple started dating.
