Buzzfeed reporter’s mistweet makes Obama’s speech uncomfortably candid

Whoa, what happened on the south side? In an early afternoon speech in Chicago, President Obama spoke of the importance of fatherhood, but did he really suggest that maybe he escaped being “punished with a baby” during his days in the city?

@zekejmillerI don’t think that’s quite what he said.
