Maaaaan listen, our ‘forever President’ knows what time it is, so he shouldn’t be surprised when the aunties show up at the rallies to let him know just how they feel about him.
A woman in Detroit made headlines after, according to Huff Post, she yelled out that Barack Obama was “fine” after the former president made references to himself growing older while speaking at a rally for Democratic voters in Detroit on Saturday.
“I have to admit that sometimes going out on the campaign trail feels a little harder than it used to,” the 44th president said to the crowd at Renaissance High School. “Not just because I’m older and grayer…”
A woman directly behind Obama responded to the 61-year-old’s self-critique by screaming that he was “finer than a mug,” suggesting he was still in pristine form in her eyes. “Mug” is a euphemism for “motherfucker” within the Black community.
While the audience laughed at the woman’s compliment, Obama asked if she could repeat herself.
“She said I was still fine,” Obama said into the mic with a smile. “I’m not gonna tell Michelle you said that, although Michelle does agree. She knows,” he said, referring to the former first lady.
A video of the interaction between Obama and the woman has garnered more than 5 million views on Twitter.
