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.

But that's why the Lord made granddads, godfathers, uncles, cousins, and extended family. Provided they are “One Bread, One Body”, they are the ones to raise a young boy to manhood, by the Word and by example.
Obama is conflating some gay professor imagery with his having been groomed in childhood by Frank Marshall Davis. Obama has never experienced having a real biological dad in the home. He has no place to give this advice.
“”would call me out when I started saying stuff that was ignorant.””
It didn’t work, did it?
Oh, I believe his Uncle Frank’s stories are 1000 percent true.
And his tranny nanny also influenced him as the queer little fellow he is.
The Husseins were on a break.
He sure didn’t show me anything as a president.

I can’t imagine choosing a life so void.
There is a lot to tell, but I just want to add..my son went to glory few years ago. But before the final trip, the Lord took my son to heaven and he witnessed the absolute glory..The home prepared for all who choose the Way, made possible by Christ. He saw his father and many family members.. friends.. he came back and told of that glorious place.. he was a changed man.
He had thought..convinced himself, he had it figured out..life and death. What he saw was God and Truth no man knows without revelation.. I realize not everyone gets to see this place,. Prior.. I share this vision and it will matter to some..I have a page written by my son, what he saw and the reality.
It’s real, folks. It’s real. So is the other place..
❤️🙏🏼❤️
Release the bloodhounds!
This could get interesting.
I love those stories. So many have had a glimpse of Heaven or gone to Heaven and come back to tell about it.
