When you think you have seen and heard it all, there’s something that will always surprise you and that’s exactly what happened when Barack Obama found himself in an awkward moment where a supporter referred to him as being good-looking using naughty language.
During a rally for Democrats in Detroit, Michigan on Saturday, an attendee shouted out that Obama was “fine” during a speech. The ex-US president was in the state in an effort to encourage voters to show out in support of Democratic Gov. Gretchen Whitmer in the upcoming election.
While speaking, Obama admitted that “sometimes going on a campaign trail feels a little harder than it used to not just because I am older and greyer.” After he had just made the statement, a supporter from the crowd suddenly yelled out, “You fine as [expletive]”.
At first, Obama asked the women to repeat themselves. “I’m not gonna tell Michelle [Obama] you said that,” Obama responded, before taking a slight pause and adding, “Although Michelle does agree, she knows.”
Whitmer is running against Republican candidate Tudor Dixon. Elsewhere in the speech, Obama spoke out about the importance of participating in the upcoming midterm election.
“This election requires every single one of us to do our part,” he said. “I understand why you might be worried about the course of the country. Sometimes it’s tempting just to tune out, watch football, or watch Dancing With The Stars. I’m here to tell you, tuning out is not an option.”
Supporter praises Barack Obama for his looks
During the rally, it’s reported that the supporter who referred to Barack as “fine” actually said this after he hinted about getting older and having grey hair: “You fine as motherfucker” as a way to mean that even though the former president described himself as someone that had aged, he was still good looking.
The former president also addressed the recent attack on Nancy Pelosi, calling on elected officials to “explicitly reject” violent rhetoric. He explained: “If our rhetoric about each other gets that mean when we don’t just disagree with people, but we start demonizing, making wild, crazy allegations about them, that creates a dangerous climate.”
Pelosi’s husband, Paul, was injured after a man broke into the couple’s San Francisco home wielding a hammer. Obama’s Michigan appearance comes just a day after being featured as a keynote speaker at a rally for Democrats in Georgia, supporting U.S. Senate incumbent candidate Sen. Raphael Warnock and gubernatorial candidate Stacey Abrams.
