"I'm glad I DIDN'T have a SON. He would have been a Barack Obama" - Michelle "doesn't like the spotlight" Obama

This is why 2 parent households are important for us as a people. Because so many of you don't understand the dynamics at play here and are taking unnecessary offense.

For a father, his children, especially his sons right or wrong, are his legacy. For that reason we are harder on them and place a different type of expectation on them than our daughters. And its gonna come out as more discipline, more responsibility, more regimen, more quality time on his interests.

But mothers are diff with their sons. I see it with my wife all the time. She wanna baby em. She wanna "aww just let him sleep in". A father is gonna say...Nah. Son, get up and come run these errands with me. Get up son you gotta get to the gym, off season is for WORK.

Now imagine that times 100x when you're Barack's son. shyt would have been pressure. Not just from the outside but from Barack. Think about it, Barack got 2 kids, 2 lil girls, but did any of us ever think about how they have to follow in his footsteps? Put that type of pressure on them? Nope. Literally never comes up. Cause it's not the same.

So imo Michelle is just doing what mothers/wives do, at least as far as what I'm reading. She seen all that drive Barack had and imagined him pouring it into a son and felt it'd be too much for him and wants to instinctively coddle him. But she doesn't understand bc she's not a man/father.

Michelle and Jada Pinkett are awful women

Why take a jab at your husband?

Bill was getting head in the Oval Office yet you never hear Hillary publicly “throwing jabs”.

Like him or not.. Obama had zero scandals. Held the highest office in the land for two terms surrounded by cacs. They tried everything to bring that man down but he stood strong.

Man stfu. Got cac dynasties ruling this country this whole time and we can’t even get one top notch black generational family because of all this nonsense you’re spewing.

That was premium momma's boy babble, I can't even quote it

It's a sad situation when your wife doesn't have reverence for you.

The funny thing is most men in modern relationships are this way.

Went on a date with my buddy and his gf and she was insufferable, had a real condescending attitude towards him still can’t figure out why he’s with her.

 

[Stick Up Kid]

Cedric said somethin similiar 15+ years ago lol

 

[Ohene]

Playful jab?

Man the disrespect that the modern husband has to accept.

men have been so castrated in North America lmao

west african men would never

 

[MJ Truth]

Rapper wouldve been a much more realisitic goal. He had a better chance of becoming a rapper than becoming president. She was a Princeton lawyer at a major Chicago law firm who made more than him for most of the time they were together before he was a Federal Senator. She was going to be a millionaire whether they got married or not.

President was his dream. he didn't do it for his family he did it in spite of his family. She raised the kids most of the time, she paid the bills most of the time.

Youre using a wh0res rubric of success instead of a grown woman's. Shes supposed to be grateful for carrying the household both financially and in child rearing for a goal she didnt want?

How many bw are willing to marry a bm they make 100k more than, that are better educated than that man. How many are willing to also be breadwinner and care giver to their children and be the breadwinner while that man pursues a selfish unrealistic goal that has for a 1 in a billion chance of achieving the goal.

dog youre talking like Obama wasnt an obvious star.
Man played the game like a game of checkers.
(got the elite IVY co-sign and then came to Chicago to get the working class black approval)

You cant say "how many bw..." when it comes to their dynamic because they were playing a totally different game.

He may not have had as much money as her but he had status...
I was on the south side of Chicago when he was coming up (he did the commencement speech at my High School).
He was everywhere...everybody knew him.

He's one of the few people that have that star *it* factor.

 

[Gloxina]

I knoooooooooow she’s joking with him, but I don’t want to see the first Black First Family joking like this.

 

[Grifter]

Is her womb barren yet?

You could've at least posted the whole article , if you read it. She clearly meant it sarcastically, as they were laughing about how he'd be acting like a mini president/chief in command.

Reading comprehension, the ability to decipher emotions while reading text, is a lost skill in today's world .

Everything isn't always some slight against a Black man this is how I know y'all are not social and 9/10 weirdos in real life because some of you take everything that isn't absolute praise as some attack when it really ain't anything to be defensive about...rather it's your own low self-esteem and projections eating away at you from the inside.

Michelle Obama says she’s “so glad” she never had a son — because he would’ve been a kiddie clone of her husband.

“You should’ve threw a boy in the mix,” radio host Angie Martinez told Obama in an episode of the former first lady’s “IMO” podcast released Wednesday.

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.

“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.

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

“I got plenty,” Obama, 61, agreed.

The Obamas, who wed in 1992, are parents to two daughters, Malia, 26, and Sasha, 24.

“I’ve loved every phase of parenting: I loved them when they were little babies, I loved them when they were walking and starting to talk, the teenage years were interesting in the White House,” Obama said.

“But I’ve loved every time with them — and watching them become their own people and make their own choices, and figure stuff out, and call me after they figure stuff out,” she said.
