Original Note:
President Obama was referring to Michael Mullen, son of former chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Mike Mullen. NOT his wife, Michelle Obama. Right-wing outlets purposely leave out the speech before he says "Michael". https://www.reuters.com/article/factcheck-obama-michael/fact-check-video-does-not-show-barack-obama-calling-michelle-obama-michael-idUSL1N37K2FK
