Michelle Obama Hurt Over Barack Obama’s ‘Discontentment’; Ex-FLOTUS Gave Her Husband An Ultimatum

Michelle Obama supported Barack Obama throughout his campaign in 2008, but she initially talked the ex-POTUS out of it.

In her memoir “Becoming,” the former first lady said that she was also reluctant to give Barack the go signal to campaign as a senator in 2004. During that time, she gave the ex-POTUS an ultimatum.

“If he lost, he’d move on from politics altogether and find a different sort of job,” she revealed.

Four years later, Barack told Michelle that he wanted to run for president. The ex-FLOTUS tried to convince her husband to campaign for a seat in the White House in 2016 and not in 2008, but he was dead set on his plans.

Michelle said that she wanted Barack to be content with their life at that time. She also struggled to understand how her husband could not take their young kids into consideration.

“I didn’t understand how he could look at Sasha and Malia, now five and eight, with their pigtailed hair and giggly exuberance, and feel any other way. It hurt me sometimes to think that he did,” Michelle said.

Barack became the first African-American president of the United States, and he was in office from 2009 to 2017. After his presidential stint, Barack and Michelle left the White House, and their two daughters, Malia and Sasha, went to college.

At present, the ex-FLOTUS is the one being encouraged to run for president. Even though she already said that she won’t take part in the 2020 presidential race, the public still wants her to reconsider.

Ottawa Bureau Chief for the Daily Caller David Krayden wrote in an article for Human Events that Barack and Michelle are making another bid for power. At present, the ex-POTUS has not endorsed any presidential candidate including Joe Biden. As such, everyone is convinced that he could endorse his wife in early January.
