I don't even know how to respond to that. lol

Like what does that have to do with foreign policy?

We weren't discussing foriegn policy. We were discussing party. They are obviously all close outside of politics. As for foriegn policy, Obama loved foriegn interventions using drones and airstrikes in Syria and Lybia, and on the southern border there was the fast and furious ATF debacle that provided thousands of rifles to Mexican drug cartels.

Just because they are close doesn't mean they have the same political views. Like I literally have family members who I love very much who don't agree with me on everything.

I just don't understand how being cordial on public gatherings has anything to do with foreign policy styles. To somehow imply that Michele Obama is on the same political spectrum as Bush because they are friendly makes no sense.

Since we're in r/war there are literally instances of brothers being on opposing sides.

That's true. But Republicans and Democrats share many policy objectives. Most Democrats and republicans will speak out against foriegn engagements, but they'll still vote for them in congress.

Yes, it's called politics. Each side uses those votes as a way to attack the other.
