Obama Discusses Sexual Advances From Women While President

Barack Obama has shed some light on how he avoided women who made sexual advances at him during his time as President of the United States.

During a chat on The Pivot Podcast, Obama told cohosts Channing Crowder, Ryan Clark, and Fred Taylor, who are all former NFL players, that he “was not tripping” from the “somewhat inappropriate” gestures he received from female admirers at the time.

Channing Crowder, a former Miami Dolphins star, opened up the discussion by narrating his own experience and how he managed to stay on a “straight and narrow path.

“When I got drafted in the NFL, I got a little cuter,” Crowder started.

“Do women be hollering at you and stuff, like on the fact that, because you’re a good-looking dude, but now you’re ‘President Good-Looking Dude?’”

While responding, Obama joked, “I don’t know if Michelle’s going to be watching this,” talking about his wife and former US First Lady.

“The truth is, you guys as NFL players and athletes generally… y’all get famous young, at a time when the attention that you’re talking about maybe flattering, fun, what have you.

“By the time people really knew who I was, I was 43 years old. I was married, had two kids, had gone grocery shopping, had washed my car. I was a regular guy in that sense.

“That kind of attention, by the time I got it, I was not tripping on it.

“There are times where women have acted in somewhat inappropriate ways.

“There are pictures on the internet of women grabbing my butt, and I was president at the time.

“The Secret Service likely didn’t intervene because they were “like old ladies and stuff, so they’re not going to wrestle them down on the ground.

“My wife is such an extraordinary woman, such an amazing partner, that you just try to stay focused, stay on the straight and narrow.

“And also, look, kids, change your life. The idea of disappointing your kids is something that, I ain’t going there.”

Obama, 63, married his wife Michelle in 1992, a union that has produced two daughters, Malia and Sasha, who were both 10 and 7 years old when he was sworn in as the first Black president of the United States at the age of 47.
