They've spent the last month quietly recuperating in French Polynesia since leaving the White House earlier this year.
But Barack and Michelle Obama interrupted the quiet island life they've become accustomed to this weekend with a star-studded jaunt out to sea.
The former First Couple joined Bruce Springsteen Tom Hanks and their wives on music mogul David Geffen's superyacht Rising Sun on Friday, making quite the splash as they arrived at the vessel off the island of Mo'orea in a spruced up speedboat.
Once on board, the Obama's played tourists, posing romantically on the upper deck while they had their photograph taken.

The loved-up duo also conducted their own private photo-shoot. Michelle, dressed casually in a pair of white shorts and a black tank top, leaving her hair to fall at her shoulders

Michelle, 53, showed off her world renowned physique in a pair of white shorts and a black tank top. She let her usually coiffed hair fall wildly at her shoulders, elegantly slinging a brown handbag over one arm as she posed with her husband.
The former president was equally laid back in his attire. He sported a pale blue shirt and some beige pants, adding a pair of sunglasses to his off-duty look.
Oprah stood out in a bright yellow day dress. The stunning results of her recent weight loss were on full display as she stood side on snapping photographs of her famous friends.
The former president was also seen taking photographs of Michelle as she posed alone.

Out of sight were Oprah, Hanks and Springsteen, both of whom are considered friends by the Obamas. Both are also close with Geffen, a billionaire music mogul who prides himself on the famous company he keeps on board his $300million yacht.
Springsteen and Hanks are regular guests while Mariah Carey, James Packer, Leonardo di Caprio and Steven Spielberg have also graced its deck.
Oprah, another friend of the billionaire's, was rumored by local media to have also been on board but was not spotted as the group posed for photographs.
The stunning 454ft-long yacht was built for Oracle CEO Larry Ellison and bought by Geffen in 2010.

The group all settled down for lunch beneath a large umbrella after climbing on board

While the producer is ordinarily keen to share Instagram photographs of what famous guests he has on board, he was quiet during the Obamas' visit on Friday.
The vessel has been in Tahiti since March, according to earlier posts. It coincides beautifully with the Obamas tropical sojourn there.
Friday's outing was decidedly more glamorous than their earlier paddle boarding outings.
Since taking up residence at the exclusive Brando resort last month, the Obamas have kept a low profile. It came after a whirlwind trip around the Caribbean in January where the couple spent time with Sir Richard Branson on Necker Island.

Aside from a handful of visits to New York City, where their eldest daughter Malia, 18, is taking part in a film production internship at The Weinstein Company, the Obamas have largely been out of the country since January 21 when they officially handed over the White House to Donald and Melania Trump.
The former president is expected to have used the downtime to begin work on his memoir. The couple signed a joint multi-million dollar book deal with Penguin.
They have also spent time in Hawaii and Palm Springs which was their first port of call on January 21. While Malia carries on with her internship in New York before beginning classes at Harvard in the fall, Sasha, 15, is still in school in Washington DC.
Her parents have decided to keep a residence there until she graduates.

Damn.....what a boat.

Doesn't bother me at all SB. Not a supporter but he is a private citizen and as long as he doesn't interfere with DJT's agenda, that is cool with me. Just stay away

The champions of the masses! They have a perfect understanding of the middle class. So never confuse them with logic and morality. :thumbsup2:

His goal in life is to be a socialite, which is how he lived as POTUS.

I don't mind him enjoying the socialite lifestyle, I'm glad he's doing it at someone else's expense, but it brings up two questions for me.

1) do people really think he's going to stay in DC and "WORK" to undermine Trump? The man doesn't know what "work" is. He was a lazy aloof POTUS that never once tried to build some sort of coalition on anything.

2) is this what he means by "shared sacrifice"? Can anyone name one thing this man or is family ever "sacrificed"?


Not mocking his lifestyle, just pointing out how worthless the words he speaks are, yet again



PS: "Americans consume too much". LMFAO@losernation

Wow David Geffen looks terrible, sad to see. What a powerful influence in the music industry, advancing the careers of so many artists, like Jackson Browne, Eagles, Elton John, Peter Gabriel, Joni Mitchell, Bob Dylan, Tom Waits, Giorgio Moroder, Linda Ronstadt, Warren Zevon....

After a cancer scare in the late 70's Geffen started a new label that brought Donna Summer to fame. His new label also released John Lennon's "Double Fantasy" just before Lennon was killed and it went multi-platinum.

He is a huge supported of Obama. But of the Clinton's he's said, "Everybody in politics lies, but they do it with such ease, it's troubling."

I didn't know that priceless quote came from Geffen.

Supported Clinton at first. Clinton flinched on a promise to pardon

Until today I never heard of him.

If you have any vinyl records from 70s-80s his name might be somewhere on them.
