Michelle Obama Won't Run for President
The Weekly Standard ^ | 4/26/12 | DANIEL HALPER

Posted on 04/26/2012 12:00:17 PM PDT by ColdOne

At a bring your kids to work day event at the White House, Michelle Obama said that she isn't interested in running for president. "Absolutely not. No," the first lady said in response to a question from a kid on whether she'll "ever run for president."

Michelle Obama tried to refocus the kids on her husband's reelection effort. "Being president is a really hard job and it’s an important job," Obama said. "And when my husband is running for president, we’re right in there; we’re serving, too. And I think that once his terms are over, we’ll go on to do other important things -- because there are so many ways that you can help this country and the world, even if you’re not president of the United States.

"And I think one of the things you learn about yourself as you get older are what are your strengths and what are your interests. And for me it’s other stuff that is not being the president. So I probably won’t run. But that’s a great question."

I’m absolutely offended that anyone would consider the THOUGHT of this albatross being the POTUS.

Everyone like to talk about “electability”, when it comes to this person she is the most unelectable person ever.
Not only is she unelectable, if she did get the power, she’d be WORSE than her husband and I’m not sure how you get any worse, but I’m sure she could pull it off.

= = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = =
If not mistaken, this is how Hillary R. Clinton got her start in politics.

Some one such basically came out and said “Let’s run this up the Flag Pole and see how many dumbies may buy it”.

Some of these ‘jokes’...Bill Clinton, B Obama etal get thrust into the spotlight to ‘shut them up’ and the sheeple just fall in line and follow suit, like lemmings off the cliff.

Remember Tipper Gore started the same path when the ‘other’ candidate for Sen refused to drop out and give her a clear run.

Musn’t take a chance on losing now must we????

If the electorate is stupid enough to re-elect the unmitigated disaster that is Osama Obama, I could see them electing Mochelle POTUS, establishing an Obama dynasty.

Actually a child during National Take your Kid to Work Day asked her that. Wilkow had the audio, or it was on the news during his show where she backtracked and said PROBABLY not. The prospect of her running chills me to the bone.

personally I believe she is being groomed to run..why not...good pay, nice living quarters, great travel, and retirement benefits...
and you get to party a lot, vacation often, and meals that are out of this world, someone does you hair, make up, you don’t have to worry about laundry, cleaning, shopping, cooking and then the clean up and someone else raises the kids..what a fun life...yep she’ll run watch and see...

"So I probably won’t run. But that’s a great question." "

Translation: "Damn straight I'm going to run. But not until after my husbands 4th term. That's why I had you ask the question, stupid!"
