Barack Obama
Michelle Got Short End of Marriage Stick
Published
Barack Obama says his marriage to Michelle isn’t an equal partnership … claiming he’s benefited way more from their union.
The couple spoke to People recently amid the opening of the Obama Presidential Center in Chicago … and he told the magazine he doesn’t think their marriage has been an equal 50-50 split.
The 44th President of the United States says he’s “gotten more out of it than she has” … even going as far as saying it’s been more of a “mixed bag” for her.
Barack adds, “Just being with her made me better, and she still does. And that she would [give] our kids a foundation that would pay off for them — and that’s in fact what’s happened.”
Michelle refuses to accept she drew the short straw in their 34-year partnership … claiming Barack’s just being modest — attempting to shine the light on other people instead of soaking it in himself.
She also notes she could’ve had a happy life in Chicago without ever ending up First Lady of the United States … but makes it clear that life would’ve been smaller — her husband gave her and their daughters a “broader” life.
Just another case of a great man being supported by a strong woman … even if they’d both rather shine the light on the other!
