Try to find a picture of Michelle Obama pregnant. It’s fine with me they are adults and they are free to live their life’s as they want. But do not do evil things. Obama created 7 wars and deported more illegal aliens than any other president. In God we trust not in any man.
You mean you appreciate "women" that speak honestly about marriage... Had that been a man saying this about his wife or specifically Barrack saying this about Michelle all hell would've broke loose. Even in this interview he still has to keep quiet about whatever he may not like about her.
@@J03LM1 Haa a mind-reader? Like my comment states, "I appreciate PEOPLE who speak honestly about marriage". I've never been one to live in a distorted reality whereby everything is rainbows and sunshine all the time for rest of our lives, so to have adult men and women share light on the hardships of making a marriage work is greatly appreciated. Romance novels and rom-coms have made people think that relationships/marriages are smooth sailing when that's just not realistic. The wisdom and knowledge obtained (from real people with healthy relationship habits) allows one to see marriage for what it truly is and allows one to make conscious decisions in regards to it. Whatever trigger my comment may have caused you, hope you work on it and wish you well with that.
I couldn't imagine any thirty year marriage not having a not so great period. I'm happy to see these two remarkable survive and thrive. I salute the Obamas on their union and pray for their prosperity.
Michelle saying she couldnt stand him for 10 years is not the same as saying she hates him. This is real and I think this discussion will help others get real with their emotions and conversation in relationships. relationships are not complex we make it complex. it takes honesty, empathy and most of all respect to be at the core for it to work between oneself and between your spouse or partner. yes communication is key. but without respect theres no true relationship. the obamas respect is clear and this and love is what sets them a part from other presidents and other public figures. They respect themselves and appear to respect each other.
Try to find a picture of Michelle Obama Pregnant. Obama is a war lord. He created 7 wars, he is the president who sent most illegals back to their counties. Very criminal government.
Barry Obama is a homosexual, married to a Michael Robinson, who is a transsexual. Their two kids were adopted. You will never see a picture of Big Mike pregnant. How come they didn’t ‘come out’?
There isn't one couple that has been together for that many years that doesn't have a period of time when they didn't like the other person. I have 23 years in a relationship, and there have been some ups and some bumps, but if you love each other, you keep traveling the road 😊
Fair - but if you read her book you learn about how selfish that man was. He wasn’t a team player in the marriage or with raising the kids. That’s just different. A lot of this talk about oh this is normal is about someone not carrying their burden. Barack was about Barack and his career. We all benefited from it. But that’s a sucky situation that she had to make the vast majority of adjustments around because he wasn’t a fully active father for years. And this behavior is acceptable because this is what is expected of men.
Most long time marriages have some rough patches especially when kids are included and in the end it is quite an accomplishment to be part of a long time marriage. These two are still amazing and inspiring.
The problem is that this level of understanding is not applied to the avg couple. When a couple posts, most people scream "divorce" or "he/she is toxic" "you shouldn't forgive them" "they're a narcissist" etc. Obama was a very flawed/lacking husband and father early on in the marriage per Michelle's book. I actually like that he isn't perfect as it makes him human like the rest of us, but I'm just saying he gets a pass because he is an extraordinary and beloved figure, wheras others' would not.
I love that the did that clip with him having trouble with dunking his cookie into his milk and saying, "Thanks, Obama." He could make fun of himself. Orange would never ever do that.

I've never seen the entire interview so First Lady's statement alone and out of context seems very harsh especially knowing that the media is waiting for something to report negatively about their family. However, it appears to me that she was giving the women words of wisdom to hold on to their marriages and love unconditionally even during the rough seasons. Also the words like and love aren't the same. Just like you can love your children and not like their behaviors. President Obama mentioned how the children were priority numbers 1-4 so he probably felt like a 5th wheel in his own home. He was probably frustrated. This is a common mistake in most marriages. The bigger picture is that they survived it all. They held on for better and for worse. Most of all, their problems didn't overshadow and destroy his destiny.
She was the family work horse because Barack chased a life of politics. It was hard to work and take care of the family when your husband is not around all the time . And when he ran for President she was not 100% on board in the beginning of his run. And after eight years in the White House, they have a lot of catching up to do in a new life as seniors and adult children. No one’s life is easy . They were a great role model to the whole world for the AMERICAN DREAM . 🇺🇸❤️👍✌️🦅
lol... you people are delusional... Barry and his boytoy Michael sent more money in CASH to the Middle East than All Presidents combined. killing children with drones was especially nice... Barry and Biden is what you get when the USDOD decides elections, we get War. I heard that it took months to get the smell of Popeyes chicken out of the White House.
He should be transparent and leave her. Any wife that says they didn’t like their husband for 10 years was your enemy the whole time. And the fact that this chick said it to the public shows just how much she does not honor or respect him. She did not see his potential and that’s not a woman a man needs. 😤
Every marriage hits a rock. It's what you built up to that point that can help you through it. She speaks truth and so does he. Why I respect them so very much.
@@ayidonnopeople stay at jobs they hate for way longer the point is they loved each other I love getting paid but I can get money anywhere but they were irreplaceable to each other that’s unconditional love
Yeah he does, seams too good to be true right? Because it is... He's playing a role, very easy to play a role of this certain stereotype and the fact he's been playing a role his whole life he has plenty of practice at it, so! Truth is out there but it's not gonna bite you on your you know where!
If she didn’t like him she shouldn’t waste his time. She only stayed for the benefits. Eventually she gonna go bald like Jada and convince him to slap Trump.
@@stevedj101 You must drink Bud Light and voted no for the legalization of marijuana so you and your old blue bloods can keep banging behind closed doors!
@@diamond852 No, For both. The fact even of keeping the couple alive and doing things for the other when you don't feel like it, is a commitment men also have to make in a marriage, all while providing for the family. The difference is most men don't usually express themselves or complain about it. As a society we really need to stop disregarding men's contribution to a family or taking it for granted.
I think this is also because we’ve reduced men’s roles in a family as a provider only that husbands aren’t truly viewed as a primary person in the relationship. It’s very frightening at times because we’ve erased men as a whole in our society and not batted an eye.
@@hikari9433 Ideally both partners should work at their relationship but in practice men are often the checked-out and reluctant half of the partnership. It's not anyone's fault but theirs. There was a study published by Forbes that showed that the number one reason for divorce is lack of commitment. Number 3/4 was infidelity. I don't remember number 2 but another one up there was too much conflict. If we consider that most divorces are initiated by women then we can clearly see that this dynamic doesn't work for women either.
@@tamirasamuel7894 Who is the "we" in "we've?" Nobody told men not to play active roles in their relationships and families. In fact this is a major women why women are opting to be single and childfree. They don't want to be married single mothers to children or their husbands.
I have been married for 9 years, and I totally agreed with Michelle. Marriage is very hard when kids are involved with different activities. My husband is a very good man, but there have been times that i couldn't stand him. What kept us going, God, and our vows.
Anyone who’s been a real long term relationship knows….you may not always like them. But you always love them. I cannot stand how negative my man is about himself sometimes. But that’s just a thing I don’t like. That doesn’t mean I can’t help and love him through it. Work with them. He dislikes how impulsive and random I can be with my adhd but yet again that’s why he loves me too. Because spontaneous adventures are his thing too. There is always a give and take
I appreciate Mrs. Obama's candid feedback about their marriage. I met a woman who told me she was frustrated with her husband the 1st 15 years of their marriage...
I have a friend who raised 8 children. She said for many years she just kept “ my head down with the goal of keeping the kids alive and staying married”(she is Catholic). They were married 65 years and deeply in love when he passed away. They created a wonderful, loyal, loving, supportive family together.
God bless her for birthing 8 kids. I thought I wanted 4, until my first one came out weighing 8 lbs, 11 oz. When that anesthesia wore off, I was hurtin!
They are both extremely intelligent, charming, classy, and appear to fit together very well. Their daughters are also bright, gorgeous, and successful. I think Michelle Obama and Jackie Kennedy were the most beautiful, upper class, first ladies of my lifetime. The Obama's certainly did a fabulous job raising their children, who have turned out to be fabulous, young adults. Of course those kids were raised with a lot of advantages, having 2 exceptionally bright, upper class parents. I admire that entire family, and have the utmost respect for them.
@@lindabb7064 I report those comments everytime. It was Joan Rivers who suggested such a thing in her racist jealousy. These people who perpetuate this disgusting slam are the same
This is so real! Ive only been married for 8 and there is weeks that I dislike my husband so much lol but, then we get back into a good phase and everything is rainbow and flowers 😂 Marriage is definitely a roller coaster.
At least they always had a way better marriage/relationship than 99.999% of Hell, nowhere, sinkingship, lowdown, cheating ass, facade, worldly funeral marriages. That’s why the divorce rate is high and it will get higher. 50/50 is too low level. A 100/100 is the real deal.
Hmm. Not liking your husband for 10 years. I don't think so. And ...am.. that's on her.....not him. Wonder if he knew that back then....did she express that to him back then? Mr President is so cool, even in his response to that statement it shows what an awesome person he is.
There’s plenty of people who love their spouse or parent etc but don’t like them. My husband is amazing but for a few years there he was a bit of a&&hole 😂 and I definitely wasn’t easy to be around either. Hopefully you just keep trying to work on improving yourself and your relationship together and the effort pays off. 17+ years on and we are genuinely like and love each other and ourselves. Good on the Obamas for being honest and relatable. ❤
....and THIS is WHY we LOVE them! You can LOVE someone and NOT LIKE them because of their actions. This is the perfect example of HONORING your marriage vows. #FightForYourMarriage
@Planes & Pixels I can appreciate your point. I grew up in and married in a high control group. I was chastised for divorcing a toxic, abusive person. I was labeled as an immature, spiritually weak woman who did respect the sanctity of marriage. Nothing was said to him 🤦🏾♀️. I had to do what was best for my son.
@@planesandpixels If a spouse is unfaithful, unloving, and dishonest, they are BREAKING the vows and therefore the commitment is void. Married people understand this, especially in modern times which is why divorce rates are high. This is not the 1950’s.
Hi, How many man are in your hand begging for your attention, because your beauty is so charming, and I believe no man can see you without telling you how beautiful you are, I believe your husband must be really lucky to have you in he's life, Dear. no man can resist your beauty. so tell me if you are the second woman GOD created after eve, how are you and how are you doing today
These are the best people that have ever been in the White House. Figures they wouldn’t be what we have always gotten. Intelligence, love and class. Like a breath of fresh air.
This is real though, my husband and I understand that we may not always like each other but we always love each other. We are human, the person that you are around all of the time might just annoy you sometimes and that’s ok!!
An AMAZING couple, parents and individuals😍. I love them. So wonderful to hear about their honest testimonies on their marriage. A great example to for all newlyweds to follow.
So glad to have watched this great couple and family. They have been a joy to see them as the first family and beyond being respectful, loving, classy though the years.
The love between them is amazing they glow when they talk about each other. Love Them. Barack and Joe Biden are very close friends which gives me comfort cause Barack is still in office I Know Joe Has him and Michelle a Beautiful Guess Room 👌😊
Good to see so many positive comments here. The way they were with Virginia McLaurin when she visited the White House at the age of 101 was incredibly empathetic and warm. The exchange between them could not have been more perfect if it had been scripted. It was spontaneous and heartfelt by all three. Very sad she died. RIP.
@@vielkaabad7144 you’re obsessed, huh? My mom has 4 kids and never wanted to be photographed while pregnant like many women, so what exactly is your point?
@@a-typbeatz7761 I think the troll is trying to insinuate that she is a man, like all of the "sheep" do. Funny how he thinks Michelle is a man, but then doesn't question Marjorie Taylor Green, who is a very manly looking woman, who just so happens to be blonde, white and spouts the same garbage and lies that many in the right do. Plus that's the only negative they can come up with when it comes to Michelle, that and the school lunch programs. They can't attack the actual success they have had, so they turn to childish bullying and name calling.
@@MMgoodies Must be nice to be that naive - the world is a wonderful place! But in reality - imagine the worst possible and then multiply it by a trillion, and even that won't be enough. But - go back to sleep.
It's wonderful that they were both open and honest about the reality of their marriage. Every marriage goes through periods like this. You can love someone and not be able to stand. It sounds odd to some people, but it's true. They set a great example for other couples. They went through a difficult period, but they kept working on the marriage and came out on the other side of that difficult period.
She’s trying to help that divorce rate decrease 👏🏾👏🏾so many people give up on their marriage after the first sign of struggle. Then they just expose their kids to different boyfriends or girlfriends 🤷🏽♀️
When I say I love this couple, I loooooooooooooove this couple 😭😭😭 I know we are all human and everybody has their flaws however, they seem to genuinely have unconditional love.... not perfect... but genuinely committed to choosing love daily.... through the good and bad I pray I'm able to experience loving a husband for 30+yrs and receiving that love back ❤❤❤❤
It’s fine that they have different sexual preferences however be honest and come out. Pretty dishonest behaviour. Obama is a lord wat. He created 7 wars and sent back more illegals back to their counties. The Obama couple made a lot of money just like most politicians. It’s all about the money.
Nah she was giving this generation free game . Michelle was saying that ppl give up on their marriages too easily & u may not like eachother all the time but ur committed to making it work. It was as real as a person can get. And she did it w/o bashing him.
She is a bad wife to exploit her marriage to strangers, and even more tacky considering she’s the former First Lady. Women have no dignity or honor when it comes to their husbands. She and the rest of the insufferable women should just get a mansion where they can all marinate in each other’s presence.
@@hazelboyce7230 that's not the issue whether I get it or not. let somebody else say that shit not her. besides there are a whole lot of husbands that should be hated by theirs wives, I doubt Barack truly fits the example of that. they had rough patches sure, but to use the word hate is way out of pocket.
I loved the fact she humanized the former president although he’s in high ranking position he still human with everyday flaws and everyday problems I think as humans we tend forget this.
Men don’t handle the little kids, they always expect the Mom to do that. In my experience-there are exceptions but that’s fairly general. Very transparent of Michelle to admit that, that creates a lot of tension in A marriage! Maybe that will change?
There is a difference between “couldn’t stand him” and “hating him”. Being president or gunning for the presidency would probably do that to your spouse

No one wants to see Presidents talk about their relationship. This is mad. He should be discussing the political and economical state of the world like Jaden Smith.
@@johnwise4341I believe that President Barack Obama of USA is there responding in a program (?) about the program the first Lady spoke in another program (?) about how she felt how was a marriage. This is the programs that America produce. President Obama is not there in this program, or a piece that is shown of this interview .... to respond to the state of the political grounds of USA. Nothing wrong in what they approach under my perspective. Thank you for your kindness in responding
You are right, they couldn't, especially Melania because I am sure she has an NDA. But I think they could make some show of it and probably rehearse what they would say. They did a Larry King interview back in the day that seemed fairly normal. The thing is that they have a different kind of marriage. Theirs is based on she getting what she wants out of it and him getting what he wants. For example Michele likely would not put up with a quarter of the things Trump has allegedly done , such as Stormy Daniela etc. So its not a similar marriage like Michele and Barack but it could last just as long and them even being open about tough times (without going into details), just to make a show of it.
I love the Obamas! I can relate to Michelle. I have been with my husband since High School, going on 48 years altogether! We've had challenging times too, that God has helped us to navigate through! I love my husband dearly, and all of our good days outweighs any of the not so good ones!👍🏽♥🙌🏽
Could her words be truer? Marriage is hard; but the rewards if you make it past the years of immaturity, competition & needed growth you end up with a relationship you wouldn't trade in for the world!!! Sadly most people give up before they reach the rewards of the hardwork & tough times endured!!!
Married the year we turned 24, neither of us knew what a thriving, healthy marriage looked like. We were both raised by people old enough to be our grandparents. Our parents weren't married to each other and very rarely interacted. Although we were raised to go to church, neither of us understood God's purpose for us individually, or as a couple. I eventually became a Christian and began to learn God's original intent was for a man & a woman to love each other unconditionally. I finally learned that my ex never stopped dating other women. It takes 2 people who are willing and committed in order to have a successful, happy marriage.
I just love him for all of the amazing things that he did for Black people while he was in office. He single handedly erased the wealth and income gap, lifted tens of millions out of poverty, nominated the first black woman to the Supreme Court, advocated for reparations to restitute for 400 years of slavery and found a cure for sickle cell anemia.
He did not cure sickle cell anemia!😂 He restored the sickle cell treatment act, making it a national health priority. He also did not in fact nominate the first black woman to the Supreme Court. Joe Biden did. Where do you get your information???!???
She was on national television talking about not wanting to be with her flawed husband for years, he then went on about how much he apreciated her. Hes never said anything negative about her. This is the difference between men and women. Its concidered normal chat to bash men. Had he ever said something about her, it would be the end of his career.
I'm not a fan of Michelle and feel she's actually quite insecure and demanding vs. genuinely strong and assertive. And I agree Barack shows more respect and appreciation for her. However, I don't think this is because of gender specific behavior. It's more about personality and character.
I appreciate people that speak honestly about marriage...
Like will Smith and Jada💀

It’s not out of context. She literally said she didn’t like him for 10 years lol
She was the family work horse because Barack chased a life of politics. It was hard to work and take care of the family when your husband is not around all the time . And when he ran for President she was not 100% on board in the beginning of his run. And after eight years in the White House, they have a lot of catching up to do in a new life as seniors and adult children. No one’s life is easy . They were a great role model to the whole world for the AMERICAN DREAM . 🇺🇸❤️👍✌️🦅
They were by far the classiest First Family in my lifetime! So much crap was thrown their way and they handled all of it with grace and charm. 😎
They were inserted cons.

lol... you people are delusional... Barry and his boytoy Michael sent more money in CASH to the Middle East than All Presidents combined.
killing children with drones was especially nice... Barry and Biden is what you get when the USDOD decides elections, we get War.

He should be transparent and leave her. Any wife that says they didn’t like their husband for 10 years was your enemy the whole time. And the fact that this chick said it to the public shows just how much she does not honor or respect him. She did not see his potential and that’s not a woman a man needs. 😤

Thanks to Mr. ,and Mrs .Obama for keeping it real! I have to get the whole of this interview.
And thoughtful. He reflects and thinks before he responds.
Every marriage hits a rock. It's what you built up to that point that can help you through it. She speaks truth and so does he. Why I respect them so very much.
Michelle not liking her husband for 10 years is relatable to every married person. At least the Obamas are real about it.
Facts! 😂
How do you stay with someone you don't like for 10years? Holy crap
@@ayidonno Not like and hate are not synonymous. Hate is different. You can still love someone but not like them (at times) as well.

Soft ball interviews... Let's get to all their lies, and the destruction they have caused in this country
People don't realize the level of work and commitment it takes to be in a decades long strong marriage with children.
The level of work ... for the wife. Sad but true.
@@diamond852 No, For both. The fact even of keeping the couple alive and doing things for the other when you don't feel like it, is a commitment men also have to make in a marriage, all while providing for the family. The difference is most men don't usually express themselves or complain about it. As a society we really need to stop disregarding men's contribution to a family or taking it for granted.
I think this is also because we’ve reduced men’s roles in a family as a provider only that husbands aren’t truly viewed as a primary person in the relationship. It’s very frightening at times because we’ve erased men as a whole in our society and not batted an eye.
@@hikari9433 Ideally both partners should work at their relationship but in practice men are often the checked-out and reluctant half of the partnership. It's not anyone's fault but theirs.
There was a study published by Forbes that showed that the number one reason for divorce is lack of commitment. Number 3/4 was infidelity. I don't remember number 2 but another one up there was too much conflict. If we consider that most divorces are initiated by women then we can clearly see that this dynamic doesn't work for women either.
@@tamirasamuel7894 Who is the "we" in "we've?" Nobody told men not to play active roles in their relationships and families. In fact this is a major women why women are opting to be single and childfree. They don't want to be married single mothers to children or their husbands.
I have been married for 9 years, and I totally agreed with Michelle. Marriage is very hard when kids are involved with different activities. My husband is a very good man, but there have been times that i couldn't stand him. What kept us going, God, and our vows.
Amen 🙏🏿🙌🏿💯

Marriage is a give and take. I don't care how great your marriage is. Trouble comes as well as happiness to it.
Anyone who’s been a real long term relationship knows….you may not always like them. But you always love them. I cannot stand how negative my man is about himself sometimes. But that’s just a thing I don’t like. That doesn’t mean I can’t help and love him through it. Work with them. He dislikes how impulsive and random I can be with my adhd but yet again that’s why he loves me too. Because spontaneous adventures are his thing too. There is always a give and take
I appreciate Mrs. Obama's candid feedback about their marriage.
I met a woman who told me she was frustrated with her husband the 1st 15 years of their marriage...
I'm glad they stuck together in those 10 rough years, but as importantly, that they found a way to be happy again together.
I have a friend who raised 8 children. She said for many years she just kept “ my head down with the goal of keeping the kids alive and staying married”(she is Catholic). They were married 65 years and deeply in love when he passed away. They created a wonderful, loyal, loving, supportive family together.
God bless her for birthing 8 kids. I thought I wanted 4, until my first one came out weighing 8 lbs, 11 oz. When that anesthesia wore off, I was hurtin!
I love their respect for one another. They are both very compassionate, loving , kind and honest. That’s a huge recipe for LOVE.
They’re both gay. 😅
Coco…and you know them how? You know nothing but the act you see on TV. Get in the real world…you sound naive.
Those kids are not their children eighter.
Somebody wise told me, marriage is not about 50-50, or 70-30.
It's 100-100. Both sounds commit fully without keeping score.
Malicia! I feel like a proud auntie when I hear your commentaries. I've come to know you through 90 day. Great job again. Keep going!!!
If you bothered to read their books you’d understand why! Barack’s career took off much faster than their young love was ready for (or expected)
They are both extremely intelligent, charming, classy, and appear to fit together very well. Their daughters are also bright, gorgeous, and successful. I think Michelle Obama and Jackie Kennedy were the most beautiful, upper class, first ladies of my lifetime. The Obama's certainly did a fabulous job raising their children, who have turned out to be fabulous, young adults. Of course those kids were raised with a lot of advantages, having 2 exceptionally bright, upper class parents. I admire that entire family, and have the utmost respect for them.

Marriage is definitely a roller coaster.
At least they always had a way better marriage/relationship than 99.999% of Hell, nowhere, sinkingship, lowdown, cheating ass, facade, worldly funeral marriages. That’s why the divorce rate is high and it will get higher. 50/50 is too low level. A 100/100 is the real deal.
I’m glad they stayed together and continue together until death do they part,cause they look great together😊😊
God bless them both.

She speaks the truth. Marriage is for the long hall (with a couple of exceptions). Congratulations to every couple that keeps it together long term!
That's what marriage is all about.
are you delusional? Michelle is Big Mike. Look it up, do some research. But not the mainstream fake channels.
Hmm. Not liking your husband for 10 years. I don't think so. And ...am.. that's on her.....not him. Wonder if he knew that back then....did she express that to him back then? Mr President is so cool, even in his response to that statement it shows what an awesome person he is.
No. That's what one-sided marriage is all about. Raise your standards!
And they are both funny too.
His perseverance, and success as a politician may have contributed greatly in keeping them together
There’s plenty of people who love their spouse or parent etc but don’t like them. My husband is amazing but for a few years there he was a bit of a&&hole 😂 and I definitely wasn’t easy to be around either. Hopefully you just keep trying to work on improving yourself and your relationship together and the effort pays off. 17+ years on and we are genuinely like and love each other and ourselves. Good on the Obamas for being honest and relatable. ❤
....and THIS is WHY we LOVE them! You can LOVE someone and NOT LIKE them because of their actions. This is the perfect example of HONORING your marriage vows. #FightForYourMarriage

@@planesandpixels If a spouse is unfaithful, unloving, and dishonest, they are BREAKING the vows and therefore the commitment is void. Married people understand this, especially in modern times which is why divorce rates are high. This is not the 1950’s.

Plus that's the only negative they can come up with when it comes to Michelle, that and the school lunch programs.

It's wonderful that they were both open and honest about the reality of their marriage. Every marriage goes through periods like this. You can love someone and not be able to stand. It sounds odd to some people, but it's true. They set a great example for other couples. They went through a difficult period, but they kept working on the marriage and came out on the other side of that difficult period.

It’s fine that they have different sexual preferences however be honest and come out. Pretty dishonest behaviour. Obama is a lord wat. He created 7 wars and sent back more illegals back to their counties. The Obama couple made a lot of money just like most politicians. It’s all about the money.
Same!!
Yikes
Barack would never say that publicly about her. Michelle outta pocket.
She kept it a buck and she's still rocking with him. She didn't say anything wrong cuz it happened a long time ago.
Nah she was giving this generation free game . Michelle was saying that ppl give up on their marriages too easily & u may not like eachother all the time but ur committed to making it work. It was as real as a person can get. And she did it w/o bashing him.
She is a bad wife to exploit her marriage to strangers, and even more tacky considering she’s the former First Lady. Women have no dignity or honor when it comes to their husbands. She and the rest of the insufferable women should just get a mansion where they can all marinate in each other’s presence.
@@AceVenturaaaThank you! I don’t understand why it is so difficult for people to get that.
@@hazelboyce7230 that's not the issue whether I get it or not. let somebody else say that shit not her. besides there are a whole lot of husbands that should be hated by theirs wives, I doubt Barack truly fits the example of that. they had rough patches sure, but to use the word hate is way out of pocket.
I loved the fact she humanized the former president although he’s in high ranking position he still human with everyday flaws and everyday problems I think as humans we tend forget this.
Men don’t handle the little kids, they always expect the Mom to do that. In my experience-there are exceptions but that’s fairly general. Very transparent of Michelle to admit that, that creates a lot of tension in A marriage! Maybe that will change?
There is a difference between “couldn’t stand him” and “hating him”. Being president or gunning for the presidency would probably do that to your spouse

Don’t set the bar too high
You are right, they couldn't, especially Melania because I am sure she has an NDA. But I think they could make some show of it and probably rehearse what they would say. They did a Larry King interview back in the day that seemed fairly normal. The thing is that they have a different kind of marriage. Theirs is based on she getting what she wants out of it and him getting what he wants. For example Michele likely would not put up with a quarter of the things Trump has allegedly done , such as Stormy Daniela etc. So its not a similar marriage like Michele and Barack but it could last just as long and them even being open about tough times (without going into details), just to make a show of it.
I love the Obamas! I can relate to Michelle. I have been with my husband since High School, going on 48 years altogether! We've had challenging times too, that God has helped us to navigate through! I love my husband dearly, and all of our good days outweighs any of the not so good ones!👍🏽♥🙌🏽

I MISS HIM SO MUCH!!
Why?
Which one? Mike or Barry?
Could her words be truer? Marriage is hard; but the rewards if you make it past the years of immaturity, competition & needed growth you end up with a relationship you wouldn't trade in for the world!!! Sadly most people give up before they reach the rewards of the hardwork & tough times endured!!!
Married the year we turned 24, neither of us knew what a thriving, healthy marriage looked like. We were both raised by people old enough to be our grandparents. Our parents weren't married to each other and very rarely interacted. Although we were raised to go to church, neither of us understood God's purpose for us individually, or as a couple. I eventually became a Christian and began to learn God's original intent was for a man & a woman to love each other unconditionally. I finally learned that my ex never stopped dating other women. It takes 2 people who are willing and committed in order to have a successful, happy marriage.
Marriage is not 50/50. Thanks for being honest
Love, love, love them!!!!!!!
I always admire your honest sister. Love you sis 💗.

Well, he did propose to another woman before he met her. Michelle was his rebound, not his first choice. BM deserve better.
He did? Who?!
@@kathy2888 It’s in his book Dreams from my father.
I just love him for all of the amazing things that he did for Black people while he was in office. He single handedly erased the wealth and income gap, lifted tens of millions out of poverty, nominated the first black woman to the Supreme Court, advocated for reparations to restitute for 400 years of slavery and found a cure for sickle cell anemia.
He did not cure sickle cell anemia!😂 He restored the sickle cell treatment act, making it a national health priority. He also did not in fact nominate the first black woman to the Supreme Court. Joe Biden did. Where do you get your information???!???
Obama found a cure for sickle cell anemia ROLMFAO! Biden supporters will believe anything.
He tried his best but there’s ppl behind the scenes that are in charge more than any president so they can’t actually do whatever they want
Wait. He also turned water into wine. Can't forget that part.
Modern women Say mariage is 50/50 😅
She was on national television talking about not wanting to be with her flawed husband for years, he then went on about how much he apreciated her. Hes never said anything negative about her. This is the difference between men and women. Its concidered normal chat to bash men. Had he ever said something about her, it would be the end of his career.
I'm not a fan of Michelle and feel she's actually quite insecure and demanding vs. genuinely strong and assertive. And I agree Barack shows more respect and appreciation for her. However, I don't think this is because of gender specific behavior. It's more about personality and character.
Is that when she became "Mike"?😂
Ladies, she letting us all know she ain’t giving up Barack, no matter what!! So ladies don’t even think about it…
