Michelle Obama doesn’t hold back when asked about dating someone who isn’t ‘financially sound’: ‘I married one’
New York Post ^ | April 2, 2025 | Vanessa Serna

Michelle Obama reflected on dating her now-husband, Barack Obama, before he started his career and found financial success. During Wednesday’s episode of her “IMO” podcast, the former first lady and her brother/co-host, Craig Robinson, chatted about money in relationships.

“Would you be attracted to a guy who’s not financially sound when you meet him?” Robinson questioned, to which Michelle responded, “Uh, I married one.” “I left my corporate firm when I met Barack,” she later explained. “I had somebody who was like, ‘I got your back. The risks you think you’re taking, they aren’t that crazy, and I’m here to help you.'”

“That’s when I said, ‘I would rather have that in a partner than a higher income. I would rather have somebody who is ready to do some hard things with me.’ But that meant I had to be ready to do some hard things with him.”

Palming off a high functioning moron Hussein Obama on the American voters was a brilliant fraud by the America hating sobs in the DNC.

Big Mike was never proud of the country that paid her bills.

Both graduates of Ivy league colleges and Barrack faking his way through Hard Law. The First Wookie and Obama were far from a rags to riches story. They were handed their prosperous life because they are black, anti colonial communists. The party lifted them up. Dreams of My Father reads like a KGB legend for a mole.

“Uh, I married one.” “I left my corporate firm when I met Barack,” she later explained. “I had somebody who was like, ‘I got your back. The risks you think you’re taking, they aren’t that crazy, and I’m here to help you.’”

“That’s when I said, ‘I would rather have that in a partner than a higher income. I would rather have somebody who is ready to do some hard things with me.’ But that meant I had to be ready to do some hard things with him.”

***********

She says “I” 10 times in these short quotes, with sprinklings of “my” and “me” added in just in case you don’t know she’s talking about her. What a narcissist.

In recent years she always sounds like she came out of a rough and tough ghetto life, fighting and overcoming everything thrown against her, but her bio doesn’t reflect any of that at all, it looks like a pretty cushy life.

This is funny though “Her paternal great-great-grandfather, Jim Robinson”.
