Michelle Obama On Young Barack: ‘He Was A Bum’:

“He didn’t take school seriously in high school. He barely got his work done. He was a bum! And it took him a second. He had to grow up a little bit,” she said.
Michelle Obama said her husband didn’t become serious about his education until he transferred to Columbia University during his second year of college.
