Members of the manosphere are fuming mad at Michelle Obama for saying she’s “so glad” she didn’t have a son like her estranged husband, Barack Obama.
Barack, 63, is the 44th president of the United States. Despite his policies that didn’t favor the black community, he is still well-liked by everyone except his wife.
In a recent episode of her IMO podcast, the former first lady, 61, disparaged Barack, saying she’s glad she didn’t have a son who grew up to be like him.
Guest Angie Martinez, a radio host, said, “You should’ve threw a boy in the mix.”
But Michelle disagreed, saying, “I’m so glad I didn’t have a boy… ’cause he would have been a Barack Obama.”
Angie laughed and said, “Oh my goodness, baby Barack. It would have been amazing.”
Again, Michelle disagreed: “No, I would’ve felt for him.”
Michelle’s brother, Craig, who is also her co-host, added, “She just borrowed our boys. She always borrowed ours,” referring to his sons.
Michelle’s remarks did not silence the rumors that she and Barack are headed to divorce court. The Obamas share daughters Sasha, 24, and Malia, 26.
Michelle’s words hit the black community hard. Men are frustrated that she’s constantly dissing the former president.
On a manosphere board, men dragged Mrs. Obama in a thread titled “TF is wrong with Michelle Obama.”
One man wrote: “I made this thread about Michelle downing Barack in public. This is terrible. Tf wrong with this lady? There’s no way she was perfect in the relationship no matter what happened behind closed doors.”
Another person wrote: “First, she said Obama wasn’t around enough as a father. You’ll think she’s starting a 2028 campaign.”
A third person wrote: “She knows the real Barack; you all know the public image. I said that to say, maybe she knows something about him that you don’t know.”
Others on social media suggested Michelle is struggling to make a name for herself. She wants to be seen as someone other than Barack’s wife.
