Michelle Obama Urges Women To “Pick” The Right Husband

Michelle Obama has urged women to “pick your husband” while showering praises on her husband, Barack Obama.

The former American first lady met former President Barack Obama in Chicago in 1989, and they went from being coworkers to becoming life partners.

Michelle, 60, was on the Jennifer Hudson Show on Tuesday, December 17, and also revealed that Obama’s Hawaii roots made him more “cuter” when she found out.

“You gotta pick your husband right,” Michelle said while commenting on her family’s annual tradition of spending Christmas in Hawaii.

“He got a lot cuter when I found out he was from Hawaii.

“I was like, ‘Oh, okay!'” 

Michelle Obama also revealed that her husband is the hardest person to shop for when making plans for vacation.

“He’s just a boy. He just doesn’t do much,” she said of the former American president.

“He golfs, and there’s only so many golf balls you can get a dude.

“He’s already got the clubs. I can’t get him another golf shirt.”

She further disclosed that Barack Obama “doesn’t want anything” and is okay with “just a nice letter.”

On his spending lifestyle, she described Obama as “cheap.”

“I’m trying to get him clothes that he wouldn’t buy because he’s also cheap,” the former first lady said.

“So if it’s a really nice jacket, I’m trying to be like, ‘Don’t look at the price, because he was like, ‘Why’d you spend this much on a jacket?’ That’s what a gift is.”

Barack and Michelle Obama have been married for 32 years and have two daughters, Malia, 26, and Sasha, 23.
