Michelle Obama ‘glad’ she didn’t have a son: ‘He would’ve been a Barack Obama’

“I’m so glad I didn’t have a boy,” Obama exclaimed.

“Why didn’t you throw in a third?” Martinez said with a chuckle to the mother of two.

“Because he would’ve been a Barack Obama,” the “Becoming” author and former president’s wife quipped to laughs.

“Baby Barack — it would’ve been amazing!” Martinez replied.

“Ooh, no, I would’ve felt for him,” Obama added of the potential mini version of the ex-commander in chief.

“She just borrowed our boys,” Robinson said of his brood.

“I got plenty,” Obama, 61, agreed.

Oh, dear.

She's going through the change.

She hates Barack. Seems she always has.

[quote]because he would’ve been a kiddie clone of her husband.

She doesn’t know that. It might have been a Billy Porter.

Pulling isolated quotes from conversational podcasts leave a lot of room for misinterpretation, yet the press lives for it.

I think what she is saying is that a son would have felt the weight of the world on his shoulders to live up to his father - NOT that she doesn’t like her husband.

And R6 I agree within you. But Michelle is very well versed in the grinder that is mainstream media. She should know to be extremely clear in her phrasing as to not let something like this be cherry picked and misinterpreted. She’s no novice.

^unless she intentionally left it open for interpretation.

R4 A lot of women hate their husbands. They’re never good enough, not even a man who becomes the President. It seemed like it was a horrible experience and she and the media tried to frame that as relatable.

But if you’re not a woman and you’re hearing her, she just sounds like a cunt.

I’m gay, I’ve been in relationships with men. They’re not that bad.

She says this stuff in jest, but rightwingers will run away with it and call her a bitter, angry black woman who hates her husband almost as much as she hates Uh‘merca.

R7 She has been bitching about Obama the whole podcast.

It what ways is she “bitching” about him, I’m not listening? Or is that your interpretation?

She hates everyone.

♪ Enough to prove it's all for you ♫

Here's where she says it on the podcast, R6 and R7.

I guess you can decide for yourselves, the intention behind her comment.

Straight women hate their husbands and boyfriends. Never good enough for their fat asses.

[quote]The remark came as Obama and her brother, Craig Robinson, along with Martinez, discussed society’s view of masculinity and the challenges of raising boys and young men.

She hasn’t raised any boys, so why is she even having a discussion about the “challenges” of doing so?

I have to say to Michelle that if she did have a boy, there are worse things he could have been than a "Barack Obama."

No matter how she meant it, she should be grateful for her husband.

He's a good man, and he was a good President.

Watch the video at R16, from about the 51 minute mark.

Michelle actually has a hell of a lot to say about how boys should be raised.

I’m sorry because she is so intensely beloved on DL-but she is clearly sooo entitled, impossible and humorless. Definitely not president material. I feel sorry for the former president.

I like Michelle O. RFKJR took some of her sensible ideas about healthy eating and living and MAGAd them up.

She was right about our country full of lardos.

And DEPLORABLES

What is left for her to complain about?

R21: I met someone who dealt with the Obamas as business clients. He was totally cool, she was ... not.

Michelle’s wants and needs were always second priority to Barack’s career. Doesn’t mean she doesn’t love him, but I’m sure there’s resentment there.

Interesting, r21, because I was about to add a comment that I have worked with them in relation to appearances at major events (US Open, Kennedy Center Honors), etc... and I have been nearby when the two of them were pretty much totally alone (agents never far!) and they had a really nice way with each other... very protective and caring for one and other. That was the impression I got.

Since when is Angie Martinez the "mainstream media?" Humiliating.

I liked her as First Lady and adopt a wait and see attitude if her marriage is solid or facing ruin. It really doesn't impact my life at all.

I like her, but messed up thing to say. She's no geneticist

Michelle Obama sounds very victimized by her husband's success and popularity, as if it all came at a directly correlated personal loss to her.

Still it allows her to live in great wealth and do very white things like host a podcast! I guess she will found a bespoke dogfood company next!

Get a load of this!

Michelle Obama LOVED "Oh, Mary!" on Broadway.....

Imagine.

Who would want her as a mother?
