Whew, boy—Michelle Obama is at it again on her In My Opinion podcast with brother Craig Robinson. And surprise: it’s another backhanded swipe at Barack. The former First Lady said she’s actually glad she didn’t have a son because he would’ve ended up just like his dad. Now listen, I’m no Barack fan, but even I’m starting to feel a little bad for the guy. At this point, Michelle’s dragging him more often than Republicans do, and she doesn’t even pretend to keep it private.

My theory? It’s one of two things, maybe both. Either Michelle genuinely can’t stand her husband, and this marriage has been circling the drain for years, or the podcast numbers are so dismal she’s resorting to shock value just to get a headline. Probably both. At this point, In My Opinion, is giving The View energy: the only people tuning in are right-leaning media types—present company included—just trying to make sense of the madness.
Former first lady Michelle Obama said she was “glad” she didn’t have a son because he would have turned out exactly like her husband, former President Barack Obama.
Obama, 61, doled out the ego-checking barb on Wednesday’s episode of “IMO,” the podcast she hosts with her brother Craig Robinson, as the siblings were chatting with Hot 97 radio personality Angie Martinez, who suggested the mother of two “should have threw a boy in the mix.”
“I’m so glad I didn’t have a boy,” Sasha and Malia’s mom plainly stated.

Of all the jabs Michelle has thrown at Barack over the years, this one might top the list. Saying she’s glad she didn’t have a son because he’d turn out like his father? That’s not just a critique, it’s a full-on character assassination by way of parenting regret.
Michelle Obama has made a whole side hustle out of trashing her time in the White House, her marriage, and even the burden of raising kids while being forced into public life. Remember when she said she couldn’t stand Barack for ten years? And wanted to push him out the window? Or her famous line about being a single mother while he was off campaigning? The hits keep coming.
What’s worse is her endless whining about life as First Lady, describing the White House as a prison and treating the role like a punishment. All while gracing the cover of Vogue, hosting A-listers, vacationing in Martha’s Vineyard, and jet-setting on Air Force One. You’d think someone forced her into the designer gowns and luxury perks. No one begged her to take the job. But somehow, being one of the most celebrated women in the world just wasn’t enough.
Personally, I think Barack’s over it. He’s out there trying to tee things up so Michelle can be successful on her own, but she keeps face-planting. Remember when she interviewed their so-called good friend Bruce Springsteen? He’s Barack’s actual bestie, no doubt. You can almost picture Barry asking Bruce to toss Michelle a lifeline by appearing on her podcast. And then she sits down with him and acts like they just met in the green room. Awkward doesn’t even begin to cover it.
@imopodcasts Welcome to IMO, Bruce Springsteen! #michelleobama #brucespringsteen #theboss
And after all that—Bruce, the book deals, the luxury, the carefully staged podcast therapy—she still circles back to this: she’s glad she didn’t have a boy because he’d be like Barack.
Not exactly a glowing endorsement of her life partner. But it tracks. After all the eye-rolls, passive-aggressive memoir lines, and public gripes, this latest comment isn’t shocking; it’s just the next entry in Michelle’s ongoing campaign of I was too good for all of this.
Maybe it’s for the best that she didn’t have a boy because the poor kid probably wouldn’t have stayed one. With the way progressive elites parent these days, you just know that if little Barack Jr. showed even a hint of traditional masculinity, roughhousing, trucks, God forbid he liked competition, he would be booked for a gender consult by kindergarten.
Let’s not pretend Michelle wouldn’t have leaned into the trend. No way she was going to raise another Barack—another strong, opinionated male she’d spend the next two decades resenting. One in the house was already too much.
Michelle has a platform, but perhaps it’s time for a rebrand. Forget In My Opinion, just go ahead and rename it Becoming Bitter. It fits. Between the husband she’s tired of, the life she resents, and the son she’s glad she never had, the title practically writes itself. And Lord help us if she ever becomes a grandmother. That episode’s going to need a trigger warning.
