"I love Michelle Obama," Simmons said in an interview on HuffPost Live. "I wanted to meet them, both of them. They have rejected me totally."

"I'm just not their set of sheets," said Simmons when asked why he thinks the Obamas haven't been more friendly to him.

"I'm not extremely a political person, and I do think the president and Lady Obama are doing a good job, but I think I can help," he added.
