Michelle Obama recently said in an interview that she was a “busy single mother.” She went on the clarify the confusing statement, by saying, “You know, when you’ve got the husband who’s president, it can feel a little single, but he’s there.” President Obama told NBC Today Show that there’s indeed some truth to Michelle’s “slip up.” He said, You know, as somebody who has stumbled over my lines many times, I tend to cut my wife or anybody some slack when it comes to just a slip to the tongue.
