Michelle Obama Says Barack Was 'a Bum' in High School

First lady Michelle Obama had a special sit-down interview with the ladies of The Real. When asked about her husband, Mrs. Obama was candid regarding the president’s early years. Apparently, he wasn’t a model citizen in his youth. “You know, and it took him a second,” she explained. “’Cause, you know, he had to grow up a little bit.”

The first lady expanded on some of the factors in Barack’s process of self-discovery. “He wasn’t raised with his father, so he was going through some stuff, had to figure himself out as a man,” she said. “Which is one of the reasons he talks to young men about this stuff.” She left the audience and the hosts of The Real with a motivational anecdote, saying, “It is never too late. The president of the United States screwed around in high school, and he still got his act together.”
