In the latest episode of the “IMO” podcast — the same one where Barack Obama appeared alongside Michelle to help shut down rumors of a looming divorce — the former first couple shifted the conversation to the topic of boys and fatherhood.
But what started as a seemingly harmless discussion quickly veered into unsettling territory.(snip) Obama didn’t just downplay the importance of fathers; he openly advocated for embedding young boys to be groomed by members of the LGBTQ community.
The message was that traditional masculinity isn’t enough, and boys need to be groomed — ideologically, emotionally, and socially — by progressive role models.
“That’s one of the things that I think a lot of times boys need,” Obama said, “not just exposure to one guy—”
“One dad,” Michelle interjected.
“One dad,” Barack agreed. “No matter how good the dad is.”
Michelle echoed the point: “He can’t be everything.”
What exactly are boys supposed to be missing out on from their fathers? According to Obama, it’s the leftist worldview delivered through the kinds of adult relationships that sound more like social reengineering than genuine mentorship.
“One of the most valuable things I learned as a guy was, I had a gay professor in college,” Obama recalled. “Who became one of my favorite professors and was a great guy, and would call me out when I started saying stuff that was ignorant.”
“You need that,” he insisted. “To show empathy and kindness.”
That might sound benign on the surface, but it was only the beginning.(snip)
The implication here is disturbing. Obama is essentially suggesting that fathers aren’t enough, that young boys need LGBTQ adults embedded in their personal circles — not just to offer “perspective” but to steer them ideologically.
This is grooming, plain and simple.

Little boys need exposure to queers......
Excuse me while I puke.
Can’t read his mind, but saw enough of his actions to see that he’s cool with muzzles and their aspirations, wanted to “fundamentally transform America”, loved socialism, helped further ruin an already screwed up healthcare insurance system, didn’t want a color blind society, and was a craptastic president. Can’t name a single meaningful accomplishment of his.
We were told he is a cool guy. I saw someone awkward and seemingly uncomfortable in his own skin, and holding back an unhealthy level of anger.
So Obama is admitting that he doesn’t show empathy and kindness?
One thing about Obama is, he always gets into the gay/deviant/racial comments pretty quickly. Its never far from his mind.
But the women have had lots of dads in them.
He's a race baiter. In 2008, America had an open mind. Obama run his campaign like he was the second coming of JFK. Obviously, it was a lie. He was supposed to be an uniter, not a divider.
Yup. What are the chances that Uncle Frank shows up to be the black male role model for Obama? Zero. Obviously Obama is a KGB mole groomed to undermine America from within. Diabolical.
He ‘killed bin Laden’ lol
Vomit.
Well, I guess Trayvon Martin dodged at least one bullet in his short life.
Yes. According to him, government approved fathers...
Because Satan.
Satan likes it the Obama way, you see?
Grooming for Satan.
Not really. He’s saying he’d to not show kindness and empathy but the gay teacher’s loving words changed him. Right.
Was not able to show.......ugh.
This is what a former president talks about?
I cannot for the life of me hear Eisenhower or Nixon, or even Carter talking about such trivialities.
These people continue to denigrate the office.
They think "feelings" trumps competence.
“Obama is showing his true colors”. The rainbow ones...
Agree!
However its merit points Ratland culture!
michelle was spot on about one thing
i am glad she didnt have a son either
It takes a rapey grooming village for a pinko. It’s how they’re made.
