On whether her recent description of herself as “a single mother” was an acknowledgement of the pressure that comes with always making the decisions about her kids.

Michele: That’s absolutely right. When you have a husband or a partner who’s either traveling for work or has huge responsibility … and I give my husband credit—he knows who their friends are, he knows what their schedule is. But he’s not making the calls to the dance studio to figure out what classes they’re taking next year … I think it’s important for both parents to shoulder that [responsibility]. I tell my kids, “I am thinking about you every other minute of my day.”

Doesn't really strike ME as disrespectful, she was just keeping it real

Bruh, Michelle Obama has more help being a mother than 90% of women in America. Do u realize how many assistants, maids, chefs, Secret Service and overall resourses Michelle has to help her raise her kids?

God forbid Barack is out there doin his gatdamn job as the lader of the free world. The nerve of Michelle to press her lips to say some bullshyt like that!

It was an epic flub and she knew it and went as far as recanting the statement....... How is she a single mother trying to raise children by herself when her husband is running for a government appointed position including PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES???

She fukked up.....

Barack Obama isn't the first president breh. All them other First Ladies aren't going to disrespect their husband like that. I guarantee they had words with each other because of that statement.

He is one of the very few presidents who had children under the age of 12.

All about intent, breh. I don't think she INTENDED to disrespect him with that comment, she could've been a little more prudent in her choice of words, but inadvertent disrespect should never be treated on the same level as intentional disrespect

 

[Ronnie Lott]

That's not the same thing breh. That would be speculation time

Now its "different"

Its funny when I use your own logic against u, then u turn around and say, "that's different"

You don't know? That strong black woman will become a submissive woman when she is with a white man. There is all types of excuses they use; like a change of culture, they are nicer etc. Alot of black women have been brainwashed to not respect black men and black men have been emasculated. See Michelle Obama. Barack is the fukkin president and he still get's disrespected.

You act like Sashan and Malia were infants when they got in the white house

How did I act like that from one sentence? Please tell me because while I did mention an age...that age was 12.

However, a Harvard educated woman, very intelligent, on national television decides to refer to herself as a single mom? My point is she knew what she was saying, no mistake. I'm sure Barack had a problem with what she said and he should have.

Coli fam, let's be real and let's be honest. DoesMichelle Obama fit the typical description/characteristics of the average single mother in the U.S? Yes or no?
I have NEVER heard of a first lady ever calling herself a single mother. We all know single mothers in real life that are struggling their asses off to raise their kids on their own, with no husband, no boyfriend and haven't graduated from Harvard law school.

Michelle actually spit in the face of al the real single mothers out there

I agree with the bolded; however, I won't pretend to know her intentions or the dynamics of their more than a decade marriage.

She doesn't fit the profile, however, it doesn't mean that she doesn't have that bird psychology/philosophy hidden in a deep dark place in her mind... That clip displayed it....

All of Obama, Melissa Harris Perry and Drake were raised by white moms.

What do they know about black motherhood, I wonder.

I always laugh when people compare blacks to people like Obama and Drake. Obama and Drake's childhood was a white suburban boy's childhood.
