Michelle Obama Not Running For POTUS In 2020
2018-05-06
Bottom story of the day.
[The Hill] - Former first lady Michelle Obama said Saturday that she isn't interested in running for office, cautioning that "it doesn't matter who runs" for the presidency until the U.S. becomes unified.
That's because her husband did every single thing imaginable to make it that way.
...
"You can't just say, 'You're a woman, run.' And we can't look for women like that," Obama said at a women's empowerment forum in Boston. "We can't just say let's find the women we like and ask them to do it, because there are a million women who are inclined and who do have the passion for politics."
Typical Dem talking points - blame everything on racism & sexism.

#9  I feel sorry for Mrs. Obama. She works hard to stay in shape, she works hard to be stylish, she worked hard for her degrees and her career, she worked hard to be a good First Lady as she understood the role —all things that are visibly not natural for her. And those who claim to be her friends do not help her in the ways she needs to be helped..

Not becoming a politician in her own right is one of a few decisions she’s made that I agree with. I only hope that twenty years from now she is not divorced, broke and alone in the world, withuot any idea how it happened.

#6  #5. You couldn't vote that many times anyway. You're not dead or a Democrat, I assume?

Lets find a trans-black-gay Muslim woman who's our forever first lady, and is a former slave and Parkland School Survivor?

#2  How about "lets find a black woman" to run? Or even better "Lets find a black woman who's our forever first lady to run"?

Better: "Lets find a trans-black-gay woman who's our forever first lady?"

That would hit most of the major identify groups right?

#1  "You can't just say, 'You're a woman, run.'
