Michelle Obama on being 'glad' she didn't have a son: 'He would've been a Barack Obama'

Michelle Obama says she’s “so glad” she never had a son because he would’ve been a kiddie clone of her husband. 

“You should’ve threw a boy in the mix,” radio host Angie Martinez told Obama in an episode of the former first lady’s “IMO” podcast, released Wednesday.

The remark came as Obama and her brother, Craig Robinson, along with Martinez, discussed society’s view of masculinity and the challenges of raising boys and young men. 

“I’m so glad I didn’t have a boy,” Obama exclaimed.

“Why didn’t you throw in a third?” Martinez said with a chuckle to the mother of two. 

“Because he would’ve been a Barack Obama,” the “Becoming” author and former president’s wife quipped to laughs.

“Baby Barack it would’ve been amazing!” Martinez replied.

“Ooh, no, I would’ve felt for him,” Obama added of the potential mini version of the ex-commander in chief.

“She just borrowed our boys,” Robinson said of his brood.

“I got plenty,” Obama, 61, agreed.

The Obamas, who wed in 1992, are parents to two daughters, Malia, 26, and Sasha, 24. 

“I’ve loved every phase of parenting: I loved them when they were little babies, I loved them when they were walking and starting to talk, the teenage years were interesting in the White House,” Obama said.

“But I’ve loved every time with them and watching them become their own people and make their own choices, and figure stuff out, and call me after they figure stuff out,” she said.
