The First Lady also shares about how her husband helps coach the Vipers, Sasha’s rec league basketball team, which also happens to include Vice President Joe Biden’s granddaughter Maisy.
“Any given Saturday, it could be the President, the Vice President, me, Jill Biden, their kids, our kids, in a litle rec gym, with all the [secret service]. And they’re screaming and yelling, ‘Shoot! Shoot, Maisy! Pass!’ … I’m telling them, you cannot scream at these little girls, you’re the President!” says Michelle.
Kelly Ripa asks, “Does the referee ever say, ‘Mr. President, one more outburst…'”
And Michelle admits, “Barack trash-talks the refs and one ref is like, ‘Sit down!'”
