CNN.com Poll: ‘Should Michelle Obama Run For President in 2020?’ By Matthew Balan Created 2009-04-06 17:50
CNN.com Graphic | NewsBusters.orgIt appears that CNN’s “Michelle mania” has reached a new level. After referring to the Obamas as the “royal family of the United States” on April 1 [0], the network conducted a web “quick vote” on Monday on whether the first lady should run for her husband’s position in 2020.
The results, however, did not bode well for “mighty Michelle,” as one guest on CNN labeled Mrs. Obama [0]. Before the poll was taken down, 83% were opposed to the idea, while 17% were in favor. As the graphic states plainly, it is not a scientific poll.
As much as this “Michelle mania” is apparently running rampant abroad, as the network would lead you to believe from these reports, these results may mean that “America’s unofficial royalty [0]” have some obstacles to overcome before any political dynasty could become a reality.
Sure. Why not?
Sure, why not? She’s equally qualified as her husband.
GIVE ME A FREAKING BREAK, they have only been in the Casa Blanca for barely over 2 months. CNN is a batch of pwned IDIOTS!
83%... That’s a good number.
Definitely!
The royal what? The royal pain in the arse?
As long as she maintains celebrity status, she would be considered qualified by 56% of the voters, apparently.
Why not 2016? Is her husband counting on serving three terms?
Can you see them asking that question of Laura Bush one month into the W's admin?
I can't even see them thinking it!
Run for president of what? The president of the I look like an NFL Player Association!
Wouldn’t King Hussein have to abdicate the throne first?
She is more qualified as she is a natural born citizen.
Yes, maybe then she can be Secretary of State and present the American people with a like, button, that says “OVERCHANGED!”
True. Hadn’t thought of that.
LOL! Let’s see if there is a country left after her spouse is finished with us.
I think the first lady is required to serve a partial term as a Senator from a convenient state she’s never lived in before she is considered qualified. It also gives her time to have a ghost writer produce an autobiography for he to make a few million dollars.
I have a feeling by 2010 Michelle will have lower approval ratings than Hillary ever had. They will be so low she couldn’t even be elected DC dog catcher. She is one unhappy and hatefilled woman, it shows and can only become more evident with the passage of time.
Someone forgot the Barf, puke, vomit, bile, death and destruction tag...
Mooooo-mania? The sacred cow?
