Michelle should have been president instead, says the Obamas’ law professor
‘He was great, but she was better’
Amanda RossWe’ve fantasized about it, created fake campaign posters and tried to will it into existence, but the idea of a President Michelle Obama isn’t just a feminist fever dream — her and Barack’s former Harvard Law professor agrees.
In a video captured by TMZ, constitutional law professor Charles Ogletree Jr. said what we’ve had suspicions about all along: Michelle was both a better student than Barack and would have made a better president.
“You know, his wife should’ve been president,” Ogletree said in the video. “[He] was great too, but she was better.”
Our dreams of the first-ever husband-wife presidential legacy might have to remain just a dream for now, though. Ogletree said that while he thinks Michelle “could easily win,” it doesn’t seem like something she wants to do.
Barack often refers to Michelle as his better half, but this confirms it.
Behind every great man is an even greater woman.
