Michelle Obama gripes about following Barack to the White House, snipes about his tardiness amid split rumors

It’s been eight years since former first lady Michelle Obama left the White House and she’s still grousing about how hard it was to follow Barack as he ascended to the highest office in the land.

The 61-year-old, who has been married to her husband since 1992, admitted her first reaction was “no way,” when she learned that Barack was running for the White House, in the debut episode of her podcast “IMO” with her brother, Craig Robinson, which premiered on Wednesday.

“I couldn’t have gotten through eight years in the White House without my big brother,” Michelle said, referring to Craig, 62, executive director of the National Association of Basketball Coaches.

“Being married to the president of the United States [is a] thing that none of us kind of banked on. We knew Barack was smart and ambitious, but, you know,” she went on.

“You talked me into supporting his run,” she said, referring to Craig.

“And he [Barack] was smart enough to know that he needed to come to you and sell you on the idea. Because I was definitely like, no, no way,” Michelle said on the podcast.

Michelle, who has never made any secret of her dislike for politics, also brought up her frustrations with her husband’s constant tardiness when they started dating at the Chicago-based law firm Sidley Austin.

“Barack had to adjust to what ‘on time’ was,” she said. “You know, I’ve got this husband who, when it’s time to leave, he’s getting up and going to the bathroom. And I was like, dude, like three o’clock departure means you’ve done all that. It’s like, don’t start looking for your glasses, you know, at the three o’clock departure,” she said, before admitting, “he’s improved over 30 years of marriage.”

Barry, the faggot, has boy lovers in many places.
His homo home boys are plenty.
He prefers white men.

Who was his daughters’ daddy?
Can’t blame him, Mike is an ugly person!

Typical “black time” for Barack. Always late is to be expected

Smells like this is all an act, their exit strategy. I could be wrong.

They’re narcissistic. So is it an act? Maybe not.
