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.

Of the many things I could think of that kids might bully him about, the ears wouldn't be #1, but throwing like an uncoordinated effeminate boy would be.

I was bullied by libretards for being a Viet Nam Veteran. King of the bullies was John Kerry. He labeled 2.5 million veterans as baby killers and war criminals. The libratards took over where he left off and cut veterans down when ever they could. That is just one reason I hate demorats and the king of the demorats.

"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. And he's exactly the type who would've dealt with his bullies by sulking and wallowing in self-pity -- making him an even bigger target.
And placing an even bigger chip on his shoulder as an adult.
Obama has viscerally hated this country from childhood. All his radical acquaintences did was give him rationalizations for his hatred...and a way to channel it.
Psychologically, this guys a hairball...

“Bullied for the name Barry?”
He’d just LOVE to plant the meme that he’s being treated unfairly because his last name is just one consonant different from the first name of the world’s most notorious terrorist. Don’t let this Kenyan Communist muslim impostor f**k with your heads, people!!!
To: Zakeet
So he grew up to be a Muzzie loving, Commie, illegal alien usurper and nobody is bullying him for it. Yet. Count your blessings Barry.
