Barack Obama reveals he had to repair his marriage with Michelle Obama after the White House

Barack Obama may have left the Oval Office in 2017, but the former president admits that the real work began once he returned home - repairing the strain public life put on his marriage with Michelle Obama. Speaking at the O2 Arena in London this week, Obama got candid with historian David Olusoga about how his wife's patience was tested during his two terms as president. "I was digging myself out of the hole I found myself with Michelle," Obama joked to the crowd, acknowledging the toll politics had taken on their relationship. "Now I'm at about level ground."
