Look, this is Twitchy, and we’re guessing the last thing our readership wants to see is a video of Barack Obama — but seriously, this one is worth a look. He might have taken the name for his “My Brother’s Keeper Alliance” out of its biblical context, but speaking at an event in Oakland, Calif., he took some contemporary rappers down a peg.

Now we all know Obama was confident in his sexuality or he wouldn’t have been seen biking around in those mom jeans of his, but we’ve got to give him credit here: there are better role models out there than hip-hop is producing.

Barack Obama: 'If you're confident about your sexuality, you don't need eight women around your twerking https://t.co/ViK8wLGZOH pic.twitter.com/cRcERxZKTd — Newsweek (@Newsweek) February 20, 2019

OK, maybe you do.

Good one. Hey, does anybody else remember the Obama White House using an animated GIF of a woman twerking to promote Obamacare? We do:

Uh oh. Obama about to be canceled. — Kensington Slate (@SlateKensington) February 20, 2019

I don't disagree with him on either point, but someone's gonna accuse him of 'slut shaming'. — Rachel ???? (@RaychelTania) February 20, 2019

Glad he said this. People act like Hip-Hop is above criticism, but the reality is the hypersexualization of women is both problematic for women and the young men who watch. It reinforces very toxic ideas and makes men feel the need to overcompensate. — Lizzy Grant (@KimKIsMyMom) February 20, 2019

I disagree with the man on most every policy issue and I know he straight up lied to us on a number of occasions. Having said that, I’ve always respected him as a solid father and husband and he makes good sense here. — John Wayne’s been dead for 40 yrs (@PaulWDrake) February 20, 2019

Hey, I finally agree with something Obama said! Wow! — LJD Merchant (@ljd_merchants) February 20, 2019

Nothing. Nothing is as sensual, sexy, or intriguing as a man with confidence and intellect. — Debra (@blowfish8888) February 20, 2019

So is this twerkphobia or twerkist. — Peter Cankatankton (@PCankatankton) February 20, 2019

Interviewer: uh, sir the question was about your stance on Venezuela — micho rizo (@rektpito) February 20, 2019

Let's see the reaction this gets. Remember, the reason why @BillCosby is behind bars is because #HannibalBuress and judge #EduardoRobreno was offended by what he said about young black men wearing saggy pants (among other things), and thought he needed comeuppance. — (((L.N. Smithee))) (@LNSmithee) February 20, 2019

The reaction he gets is … mixed, let’s say.

"its actually gay to get twerked on" is a pretty bold statement — Little Munchkin (@ill_munchkin) February 20, 2019

Barry is morphing into Bill Cosby before our eyes — Duke (@RaisaSalcedo) February 20, 2019

Fuck this guy for doing a remix of of Cosby's "pull your pants up" rant. — Bill Maher's Hairline (@JeffandWill) February 20, 2019

What is this garbage? Not much different than 5'3" Ben Shapiro telling kids to pull up their pants. — unided shtaysh (@TruxtonZyker) February 20, 2019

this guy is such a colossal disappointment. — Lloyd Howell (@voidhowler) February 20, 2019

This ain’t it — Steve (@S_G666) February 20, 2019

This ain't it Barack — BeatsByEduardo???? (@wado1) February 20, 2019

This is literally cringeworthy — Sam Shoemaker (@SamxShoemaker) February 20, 2019

Just shot down every male rapper who supported him. pic.twitter.com/R0CCdIhVxD — gustavo (@greeneyed_cuban) February 20, 2019

I'm guessing @BarackObama forgets his best friend Beyonce twerks all the time. Has large groups of other women twerking on stage too. I guess it's ok when billionaires do it. — Kanye Twitty (@SugarKovalczyk) February 20, 2019

Cool it pops — Rotten Ralph (@buttdiamond) February 20, 2019

I like it when Obama answers questions nobody was asking. Especially when he does it in such a smarmy, self-righteous way. — (((Common Man))) (@hydar) February 20, 2019

terrible — Marx Marx Revolution (@Mac_Leczkowski) February 20, 2019

What a complete idiot. — ?? Afterseven ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ (@Afterseven) February 20, 2019

Shut up old man — unforgivable opinions (@clefabledude) February 20, 2019

Speaking of old men, what are Joe Biden’s and Bernie Sanders’ official stances on twerking?
