Michelle Obama reveals why she stopped spanking her daughters as punishment
New York Post ^ | April 30, 2025 | April 30, 202

Former first lady Michelle Obama said she stopped spanking her daughters when they were growing up because it made her feel “silly.”

“I felt silly,” she said in a candid conversation with Damon and Marlon Wayans about corporal punishment on Wednesday’s episode of her IMO podcast with her brother Craig Robinson.

I believe she was referring to Marvin, when saying especially as a black man, the man she is interviewing. Honestly though, one never knows for sure. 🤣

Not from other parents who are their real parents. They loaned them to the Obamas because being childless running for President would most likely raise unwanted questions.

Excuse me if this off the subject a little bit, but just take a guess at how much I can bench press. Come on, what do you think? Take a guess. 315 pounds, at the top of my game, maxing out at 500!

There are no pictures or videos of Michelle Obama ever having children. Or being pregnant. However, A husband and wife from Chicago flew to the White House every weekend for eight years. It’s in the White House logs.

“ever having children” do you mean delivering the babies?
BTW there are zero pictures of my mother being pregnant with me, but here I am.
I call bs on this theory. YMMV.

Let's just say, that nothing about them is real. It's so easy to hide the truth when it comes to powerful people.

Can you provide proof that they are their children?

1. Men shouldn’t hit women
