obama’s wife was disrespected, his daughters were disrespected, HE was disrespected but he never resorted to acting like 5 year old on social media and to the press
and it’s actually lowkey sad bc I know he wanted to go IN when it came to protecting his family and speak out against the annoying conservatives who judged them,, but he sacrificed that to maintain the professional manner you have to keep when being president of the United fucking states
“My favorite story out of this is Malia, when she was 4, she had a little dance thing. Well, Michelle was gone that weekend so I’m taking her to ballet. And I get her in her little leotard and her little stuff. I did her hair, put it in a little bun.
We get to the dance studio and one of the mothers there right away comes up to Malia – she thinks she’s out of earshot of me and she says, ‘Sweetie, do you want me to redo your hair?’ And Malia who she’s 4 says, ‘Yes please, this is a disaster’. You know, she didn’t want to hurt daddy’s feelings.”
the older I get the more I realize the value of privacy, of cultivating your circle and only letting certain people in. You can be open, honest, and real while still understanding not everyone deserves a seat at the table of your life.
