Former President Barack Obama addressed speculation about his marriage and shared his views on male development and friendships during a recent appearance on “The Light Podcast,” hosted by his wife, Michelle Obama.
Obama used the episode to dismiss circulating rumors about their marriage, while also focusing on what he believes are necessary influences in the lives of young men.
In particular, he emphasized the importance of having gay and “non-binary” friends as a means to develop empathy and perspective.
“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, no matter how good the dad is. He can’t be everything. That boy may need somebody to give the boy some perspective on the dad.”
During the episode, Obama shared a personal anecdote from his college years.
“One of the most valuable things I learned as a guy was I had a gay professor in college at a time when openly gay folks still weren’t out a lot, 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,” he said.
“You need that to show empathy and kindness,” Obama continued.
“And by the way, you need that person in your friend group so if you have a boy who is gay or non-binary, they have somebody that they go, ‘Okay, I’m not alone in this.’”
The former president’s comments came amid ongoing public discourse about gender identity and parental roles, with Obama suggesting that exposure to diverse identities helps boys grow into more empathetic men.
Neither Barack nor Michelle Obama have sons. The couple has two daughters, Malia and Sasha.
In a previous episode of her podcast, Michelle Obama addressed the subject of raising sons, stating that she was relieved not to have had a boy.
“I’m so glad I didn’t have a boy,” Michelle Obama said on a past episode. “Because he would have been a Barack Obama,” she added.
Obama Barf Alert
Well, maybe can preach his own perversions in prison soon.....
He knew the anti Trump issue was going to emerge. Is this some desperate attempt at support?
Bronco’s been talking a lot about gay dudes lately, Sounds to me like he can’t get enough of them.

FUBO
This sounds like the chicago communist who lived in hawaii and made porn films. He was a big influence on obama’s life. I’m also of the opinion that he was obama’s real father.
“Parents, bring me your boys”, says Barry.
Going after children should be a death penalty offense.
What a terrible thing to say!
How does he know?
It’s my understanding the family of the dead Martha’s Vineyard cook is coming out with a tell all book.
I have no further information!
I am kind and respectful to everyone, but I keep all mentally ill people at arm’s length and certainly don’t befriend them.
These people need mental help services not a normal friend.
“If you’re not allowing sodomites to groom and prey upon your children, you are abusing your children” - Obama
I was one of hundreds here at freerepublic who spent a year going through obama’s records. Its my opinion that Obama’s real father was Frank Marshall Davis. His mother bore him in Vancouver on a jaunt from Washington state. The african guy was was one of her many lovers. She merely credited him with the baby.
What are the chances that Obama was sodomized as a boy? I’d say pretty high. This is not something that a normal man ever says.
Search male v. female human skeletons, and in less than five minutes, you will see that bathhouse barry married a transman pretending to be a she.
Mandibles, clavicles, etc...
Curse you, Babylon Bee! You got me!
Sound advice from bathhouse Barry. This is the guy seen in a picture, sitting on a couch snuggled up to a guy holding hands. This goes back to his early college days when he was a student at Pepperdine College. Before he moved on to Columbia (where no one remembers him attending class) then on to Harvard. President of the Harvard Review although he never submitted an article, or paper, for publication. Which up to that time was unheard of ... Obama was a pass thru his entire career.
