Barack Obama is sharing rare insight into his marriage with Michelle Obama.

The former U.S. president says he has been spending more time doing fun things with his wife after his two back-to-back terms in the White House, which ended in 2017.

“I was in a deep deficit with my wife,” the Democratic leader told Hamilton College President Steven Tepper at an April 3 event that was part of the school’s Sacerdote Series, “so I have been trying to dig myself out of that hole by doing occasionally fun things.”

The former president went on to talk about his life at home with Michelle Obama and their children, Malia Obama, 26, and Sasha Obama, 23, while discussing times he has not been able to communicate as effectively as he wanted to. “First of all, I constantly lose arguments to my wife, my daughters,” he said. “They mock me and ridicule me at the dinner table.” …

I have 3 daughters, I feel his pain.

[Nifty]

I thought he and Jennifer Anniston were an item?

[SMARTY]

Even HE can’t stand her!

Maybe that’s it. It was a few years ago, but I bet that “kid” is about 30 now.

I remember learning the difference between literally and figuratively in middle school.

They MOCK AND RIDICULE HIM AT THE DINNER TABLE? OMG.....THAT’S NOT RIGHT...EVEN FOR THIS EVIL FAMILY.

Caroline Kennedy talks the same way.....Stupid!

They MOCK AND RIDICULE HIM AT THE DINNER TABLE? OMG.....THAT’S NOT RIGHT...EVEN FOR THIS EVIL FAMILY.

Obama's wife was not respecting him. So why should his daughters have to respect him?

[cnsmom]

They should be forced to remain married, there is no greater punishment for them both.

““I was in a deep deficit with my wife,” the Democratic leader told Hamilton College President Steven Tepper at an April 3 event that was part of the school’s Sacerdote Series, “so I have been trying to dig myself out of that hole by doing occasionally fun things.””

To me this says less about Barack and more about Michele. Here’s someone who becomes First Lady of the United States and yet whines about her life. These liberals - its all about them.

“Big Mike” is a real possibility (see: Joan Rivers). Too many public “junk checking” and showing (oops) to not be a basis for a freak relationship (mailed in children, for example).

Both filled with different kinds of Marxist hate.

As you say the problem is because of her “Michelle” self. Obamaumao (combination name of his two major philosophies, aside from queer Islam) and Big Mike somewhere along the line as their “spin” is losing belief and followers to FACT— they may have gotten to Biggus Dickus, to the point it’s “who has the ...”?

Michelle Obama should have attended Jimmy Carter’s funeral out of courtesy because she was the former FLOTUS. But she couldn’t even do that without explaining why.

The classic old: “If a marriage is less than perfect, it’s always at least,92% the husband’s fault, and to argue with that belief automatically equals Spousal Abuse, wife being the assumed victim.

if his family mocks him at home, it is a pretty good guess what position he enjoyed at the bath house

“First of all, I constantly lose arguments to my wife, my daughters,” he said. “They mock me and ridicule me at the dinner table.”

Why are they "constantly" having arguments?

[Republican Wildcat]

She’s always been Michelle since she was born - long before she ever met Barack. There’s an entire history of this available to anyone who bothered to research it themselves, and was out there long before the stupid “Big Mike” rumors from Obama’s verbal flub right after he was literally talking about someone named “Michael.” Old yearbooks from her former classmates that have her photo and name, baby photos, childhood photos, etc. And no, they weren’t “AI created” - they were around before such tech was available.

“I was in a deep deficit with my wife,”

This was taking it's toll. Big Mike was looking pretty rough at times even skipping her/his midday shave...

Big Mike even stopped trying to keep Mr. Winky in it's place while dancing with Ellen. And basically made no attempt to hide it many other occasions.

Those are clear signs of depression. It is no wonder that Big Mike and their surrogate children are now trying to get even. "First of all, I constantly lose arguments to my wife, my daughters," he said. "They mock me and ridicule me at the dinner table."

[Olog-hai]

That’s the liberal media for you.

[ChildOfThe60s]

Dear Big Mike, this is what happens when you marry a curiously bi boy

[9YearLurker]

No deficit that a few hot dogs couldn’t fill, right Barry? Wink, wink.

[FamiliarFace]

They’re narcissists. It’s always about them.
