"There is no per­son in polit­ics that I think Demo­crats, in­de­pend­ents, and Re­pub­lic­ans would love to see take on pub­lic ser­vice more than the first lady," Thomas Bowen, a former top aide to Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel, told NJ's Karyn Bruggeman.

According to the report, Emanuel's seat could open in 2019, and Sen. Dick Durbin is considering a gubernatorial bid in 2018.

Such a positive, cheerful, uplifting, and unifying woman.
Only in government can a person fail, fail, and fail again...to be considered "ready" for increasingly greater responsibility.

She won’t do it. She hates D.C. more than her “husband” does.

I agree. Moochelle wants to rake in the big bucks like the Clintons but doesn't want to sully herself with politics. Too many little people to have to pretend to give a damn about.

Now a nice lifetime judicial appointment would be something else entirely.

“Michelle Obama recruited to run for Senate, Chicago mayor”

She will run for the senate, like the other Worst Lady, and her buttocks will run for mayor?

Chicago? I don’t know but I tend to doubt it. They are done with that city, they used it, abused it and have moved on. They’ll never be back unless it serves them to do so.

Being mayor is too much work. I could see her in the Senate. Illinois hasn’t elected a decent Senator since Peter Fitzgerald. She would continue the tradition.

The Ryan/McConnell/McCain wing of the Republican party would fall all over themselves to vote for that big mouthed, fat assed commie

Speaking of the Obama family...
Seems Marian Robinson, Michelle’s mother, is on the books to receive a lifetime pension of $160,000/year after they leave the White House. How can this be?

why not give her the job she is qualified for....
cleaning urinals along the jersey tpke
or
squeegeeing windows outside the lincoln tunnel
or
and giving quickies outside the holland tunnel....

of course she would starve to death but there’s always EBT etc...

again like hillary she is qualified for NOTHING except bilking taxpayers with family vacation after vacation with her mutha, daughters and a few friends....
THE MOOCH

Eight years of Her Satanic Majesty will take us to January 2025 and then eight of Chewbacca to January 2033. Then eight of Chelsea takes us to 2041 (actually takes many of you guys to 2041 since I don’t expect to be around at 94 years of age). Then Sasha and Malia for another 16 to 2057. By that time some man will be nominated for POTUS by the main opposition party and bleat: Isn’t it about time WE had a male POTUS again!

Oh, yes. I should have added to my post, “and before Fitzgerald, it was Everett Dirksen.”

Jeeezz... is this how it's going to be?
Presidents' wives go on to the Senate and then run for President themselves?

It can't be. The story is a hoax and the mods pulled the thread that referred to it.

Beat me to it. O gets elected to the Senate and Hillary becomes ill. Kane becomes potus and appoints madam O vp. This sets her up to run for president and she WILL WIN.

Even if Trump wins & MO runs in 4 years, she will be very, very hard to beat. First woman & black & none of the Clinton baggage.
