Clinton: I’d add Michelle Obama to my Cabinet
The Hill's Ballot Box Blog ^ | October 31, 2016 | Mark Hensch

Hillary Clinton says she is open to making first lady Michelle Obama a member of her Cabinet should she become president.

“She’s made it pretty clear she wants to focus on important issues like girls’ education around the world – she and I actually talked about it when we were together in Winston-Salem [N.C.] – and I want to be the best partner I can be for whenever she wants to be involved in government again,” she said in an interview with Extra released Monday.

“I think she wants to take a break from it, but if she ever wants to do anything like that, I would be the number-one person.”

Clinton, the Democratic presidential nominee, added that she admires Obama’s work both in the White House and on the campaign trail.

“Well, I don’t know how anybody could have done what she’s done for the last eight years with more grace and more of a sense of purpose but inclusivity,” she said.

“She’s been an exemplary first lady, and I know how hard that job is,” added Clinton, who is herself a former first lady. "So I feel so close to her and I’m so appreciative of all the help she’s giving me, all the confidence and courage, because it’s hard.”

President Obama said last Friday his wife would “never run for office,” despite her high-profile role in the 2016 race.

“She is as talented and brilliant a person as there is and I could not be prouder of her, but Michelle does not have the patience or the inclination to actually be a candidate herself,” he said of Michelle Obama on the “Sway in the Morning” satellite radio show. "That’s one thing y’all can take to the bank.”

Michelle Obama has emerged as one of Clinton’s major surrogates after several powerful speeches promoting the former secretary of State.

The first lady grabbed headlines earlier this month, for example, by delivering a stinging rebuke to GOP presidential nominee Donald Trump’s past behavior toward women.

You’d need a bigger cabinet. Maybe a storage unit.

Yes, this is obvious a cry for help. Why do this at this time. It makes no sense other than she is trying to cook up some new scandal to get through the current one.

Be still my racing heart! Did I read correctly that we will not suffer the loss of the inestimably-valued services of Moochelle Obama if the witch wins?

On a completely unrelated note, the NYT is reporting that lack of black enthusiasm this cycle compared to 2012 is causing panic among Democrats.

Given her poor decisions, the Obamas would be fools to accept. They have enough recognition to grift a life of luxury w/o getting tangled in Hillary’s web of lies. (Except they already are.)

It is shameful how she panders to and uses her low IQ voters. They think she cares about them. She cares nothing about them except for their votes that will elevate her to power. She is such a disgrace.

She is even using Michelle to benefit her. They were not such good buddies eight years ago, so this is all show.

Moochie doesn’t want to be a candidate, but she sure as sh*t would take being appointed by a ‘rat governor to the Senate when there is a seat opened up between elections.

ROTFL!!! You mean you’re going to use her to clean your cabinets.

LOL. Kitchen cabinets. I love it. I was just thinking the Wookiee would make a great secretary of house cleaning. She would still expect multi million dollar, exotic vacations, to every continent on earth 🌏

Actually, MO’s approvals are quite high, like in the seventy range high.

Don’t ask me to explain it.
