She’s not kidding around.

Obama, 61, doled out the ego-checking barb on Wednesday’s episode of “IMO,” the podcast she hosts with her brother Craig Robinson, as the siblings were chatting with Hot 97 radio personality Angie Martinez, who suggested the mother of two “should have threw a boy in the mix.”

“I’m so glad I didn’t have a boy,” Sasha and Malia’s mom plainly stated.

“Because he would have been a Barack Obama. Ooh,” the “Becoming” author said, looking down and shaking her head for emphasis.

“Baby Barack! It would have been amazing,” Martinez enthusiastically countered.

“No, I woulda felt for him,” Obama said.

The episode focused extensively on parenting male children as Martinez has one son and Robinson has three boys.

Perhaps unsurprisingly, Obama’s musings pointed to a potential preoccupation with her 32-year marriage to the former president — which many have speculated is on the rocks.

“Teach [your son] about how to deal with the traffic stop, but also teach him how to communicate in a marriage and to be a listening father,” Obama said before scoffing at the idea of having a baby Barack.

Despite the possibly unintended jab, Michelle praised her hubby for his parenting prowess just last week in an interview with rock legend — and noted Democrat — Bruce Springsteen.

“I think Barack is just like you as a tremendous father, doing it in a lot of grandeur, right,” Obama told The Boss on the June 11 “IMO.”

As rumors of the couple’s divorce swirled, the Obamas went on a high-visibility date in Midtown Manhattan at the swanky Lowell Hotel restaurant last month and were seen cozying up on another restaurant date in Washington, DC, in April.

The “Overcoming” scribe revealed that she is currently in therapy and is “transitioning” to a different phase of her life.
