Remember the good old days when presidents had respect for the office they held?

Via E! Online:

When asked by Today co-anchor Savannah Guthrie about the gaffe Mrs. Obama made earlier this month when she mistakenly referred to herself a “busy single mother,” Obama empathized, especially given the burdens placed on her and other women juggling work and raising children. […]

“As somebody who has stumbled over my lines many times, I tend to cut my wife and anybody some slack when it comes to just slips of the tongue. But there’s no doubt there’s been times when Michelle probably felt like a single mom,” said the president, noting the times he wouldn’t see her for a week when he was campaigning.

When Guthrie brought up Michelle’s “mom dancing” and whether there was some “dad dancing,” the president deferred to the missus—mostly.

“She consistently maintains, and I don’t argue with her, that she’s a better dancer,” noted Obama. “Now in private, I can bust a move and I think I’m pretty good, but she tends to hold out when it comes to praising my dancing.”
