President Obama said today at the White House Conference on Bullying Prevention that even a future president doesn't escape the taunts of bullies.
"I have to say that with big ears and the name that I have, I wasn't immune. I didn't emerge unscathed," the president said.
Mr. Obama, who hosted the conference at the White House with First Lady Michelle Obama, added that he had childhood memories of other kids being bullied.
"As adults, we all remember what it was like to see kids picked on in the hallways or in the schoolyard," he said.
President Obama and First Lady Michelle Obama posted a video on Facebook today to promote a conference on bullying the White House is hosting tomorrow.

I assume he's talking about Indonesian schools, since that's where he did his grammar school years.
To: Zakeet
More likely he was bullied for being a wuss.

Does this man have to get involved in every friggen issue?
Were told he does nothing on policy as he is a deep thinker and thinking through the issues -—
The man cannot stay out of issues he should not be involved in and besides he did have big ears and you were not bullied - you were made fun off.
There is a difference.

Point proven. With government intervention perhaps this Obama fellow could have grown up to be president.

Dumbo is better looking and not as stupid.

Since he went to the best private schools, why didn't the school stop the bullies. Ok, wait. Seriously, why didn't his Mom just say man up, and stop whining.
