Ready for Michelle? Political Committees Form In Support of Political Run by First Lady

Ready for Michelle? Political Committees Form In Support of Political Run by First Lady By JORDYN PHELPS Dec 3, 2016, While First Lady Michelle Obama and the president have repeatedly shot down the notion that the first lady would ever consider running for political office -- let alone the presidency -- that hasn't stopped political committees from filing with the Federal Elections Commission to support a potential candidacy.

One of the groups, Ready for Michelle PAC, filed with the elections commission on Oct. 31 and says on its website that its goal is to "get the ball rolling by identifying a network of supporters, volunteers, and donors" to support the first lady should she seek public office. Donald Garrett, who leads the group, told ABC News that the group has currently collected about 1,000 signatures though an online petition, in addition to just under $1000.

The only catch, as the group itself acknowledges, is that the first lady would have to be convinced to run.

"If she can be convinced to run, we can provide her with an early advantage against any opponents," the website says.

Believe in the Marxists never ending quest for power. They have been at it for well over 100 years and are not about to stop anytime soon.

It comes down to money and clout. That’s how we got Romney, Dole and McCain. They all had enough clout to get on the ticket and enough money and backing to put up a fight. And, she would probably be just as successful as they were. But I don’t see her with enough of either clout or money to be more than a sideshow.

Oh, experience? Resume? She was in the White House for eight years. That would be like me watching a surgeon for a couple of years in the operating room and then saying, “Okay, I’ll take it from here.” Of course, her hubby didn’t have a resume either and that didn’t seem to matter. My liberal associate still thinks Obama was awesome...

She is a dilettante with no gravitas or deep interest in anything besides partying and vacations. Its hard to imagine her making the effort to be informed on all the great issues of the day, much less seriously discussing solutions to complex problems. She is like her husband; wants the job but not the duties or responsibilities.

If they didn’t vote for a White woman, what makes them think they’ll vote for a Black woman?

The democrats have come to the conclusion that a female communist is more palatable than a male communist, and a black woman is even better. Black or white or brown, they are all red and that is what matters.

Heck, it's not even that anymore. It's just name recognition. What possible skill does Michelle "Wookie" Obama have that would even faintly qualify her to be the president of the United States??? Her husband's resume was thinner than hotel toilet paper; hers is non-existent!

But since the Neaderthal Left doesn't really THINK in any recognizable sense of the word, it's all about the packaging and having someone the morons recognize.
