When is some information too much information?
In an interview with Glamour magazine, Michelle Obama reveals that her husband, Barack, is so “snore-y and stinky” when he wakes up in the morning that their daughters won’t crawl into bed with him.
The interview, in the magazine’s October issue, was conducted by Tonya Lewis Lee, who is married to Spike Lee, the filmmaker.
Referring to their daughters, Mrs. Obama says: “We have this ritual in the morning. They come in my bed, and Dad isn’t there — because he’s too snore-y and stinky, they don’t want to ever get into bed with him. But we cuddle up and we talk about everything from what is a period to the big topic of when we get a dog: what kind?”

"Well, it's when Mommy gets really, really bloated and bitchy and..."
Sounds like separate beds. Do they have separate bedrooms as well?
At first I was going to say that the decline was over. But each time I think we've hit bottom something new (like this story) hits.
Does anyone, anyone on the left have a sense of shame?
I grew up in a Muslim society, and saw and learned those. Unless what you know is different.
But did she put her palm up and shake her head back and forth on her neck when she said this?
What happened to the “barf alert” warning? Please, some of us are at the dinner table!
TMI! TMI! TMI!
WTMI — my thoughts exactly!
Honesty is one thing. This however, was gross and very, very, very unbecoming conversation from a potential First Lady of the United States. I would categorize what she said as very disrespectful to her husband and something that should not have been said.
Personally, I do not even believe what she said. She’s trying too hard to make him look human. There are other ways to do that without making your husband the laughing stock. Shame on her.
“”Each time they have to clean themselves with running water. So, I think we better don’t go there.””
When you say that to an American, he takes it to mean a cleaning, taking a shower or bath.
Not rinsing their face, feet and hands.
The daughter’s are only 6 and 8.....sheesh....Can’t THEY have a little privacy?
Folks you might not like Muslims for many reasons and that’s your privilege but to describe them as dirty or people who don’t bathe is simply assinine and merely shows up your own ignorance.
In my very extensive experience of living in a largely Muslim society, they are very clean people, almost to the point of being pernickety about hygiene. They wash their hands, feet, and face five times a day before prayer and in the country I live they shower first thing in the morning and again in the evening, and when they use the toilet they wash down there too (they think the idea of simply using dry toilet paper as filthy), they also remove their shoes before entering a house thus not traipsing the dirt of the street all over the floors as we tend to do in the west.
Like I say criticise Islam all you want but in my experience Muslims keep a much higher standard of personal hygiene than most people did in my home country (Ireland, where up until recently one bath a week on a Saturday evening was considered normal!).
Got it, Muslims cleaner than Irish, but you didn’t need to ping me about it.
Pretty Presidential...don’t you think!
I’m old fashioned, but a president’s wife is supposed to know better than to talk like this.
Laura Bush is a lady.
careful now
(His wife really says some things about his socks or his halitosis or his flatulence or his Muslim hygiene that really stink.)
