You don’t need 8 women twerking around you, Barack Obama advises youngsters

Washington, Feb 22: Former US president Barack Obama continues to be a busy man even it's two years since his final term in the White House got over.

"If you are confident about your sexuality, you don't have to have eight women around you twerking," Obama said, receiving a wide round of applause. He also said that people didn't have to flaunt their wealth if they are confident about their financial status and the same applied to other things as well.

The Democratic politician also cited his personal life to strengthen his point. He said he is happy to be in love with just woman who is his wife Michelle Obama, also a popular figure in the US.

"I mean why are you all like...you seem stressed that you got be acting that way. Because I've got one woman, who I'm very happy with."
