France has bestowed many gifts upon America - macarons, Marion Cotillard, and Chanel, to name a few - however the greatest inarguably is the recent rumor that President Obama is tangled up in a torrid affair with none other than the first lady of music, Beyoncé. This salacious story is the result of an interview given to French newspaper Le Figaro by photographer Pascal Rotain, in which he claims the President and his wife have been more distant than ever. A distance that is now being filled by Beyoncé and her considerable assets.

Though according to Rotain, the proof is in recent photos displaying an increased space between the Obamas at public events, the same can not be said for Beyoncé, who was recently seen by millions getting felt up by Jay Z on stage at the Grammys. Because this is the body language of a very unhappy marriage:

 

While we know Queen Bey has a little bit of a fetish for running the world with her hypnotic pelvic gyrations, this story sounds a little more like Illuminati conspiracy fan-fiction than the real-life episode of "Scandal" Rotain was obviously hoping it would be.

Let's take a moment of silence for the never-was, never-will-be power couple that is Oboncé (or should it be Beyama?). But now that we have the tantalizing image of Beyoncé being the mistress of the free world in our minds, Jay Z for President in 2016 anyone?
