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.

She is like her husband; wants the job but not the duties or responsibilities.


At this point, she and hubby are set for life. They will adopt the Clinton model and start their own foundation & watch the $$ roll in. While they may not be as successful as the Clintons were, it will be more than enough for them to live the fantasy. Given that, why opt for more work?

This is about as bad as the nearly immediate response to Clinton’s loss as “draft Chelsea to run for something!”
These liberals WANT an aristocracy.

If she’s going to run, maybe I’ll throw my hat into the ring. Imagine, youngest president ever at 35.

“Scratch a conservative and you find someone who prefers the past over any future. Scratch a liberal and find a closet aristocrat. It’s true! Liberal governments always develop into aristocracies.
The bureaucracies betray the true intent of people who form such governments. Right from the first, the little people who formed the governments which promised to equalize the social burdens found themselves suddenly in the hands of bureaucratic aristocracies. Of course, all bureaucracies follow this pattern, but what a hypocrisy to find this even under a communized banner. Ahhh, well, if patterns teach me anything it’s that patterns are repeated. My oppressions, by and large, are no worse than any of the others and, at least, I teach a new lesson. —”
? Frank Herbert, God Emperor of Dune

Frank Herbert was rather prescient in this when it was before North Korean became a communist inherited monarchy and liberals were TRYING to create one via the Kennedy line and Clinton line.
If JFK’s son hadn’t died in that plane crash, you know the Democrats would have run him for office. They tried to elevate his daughter to Senator after the Kennedy Senator died. And the liberals are following the same pattern with trying to promote Chelsea Clinton and Michelle Obama for office.

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.”

Comparing that dirtbag leftist 'Community Organizer' to a surgeon is laughable. Anyone could be president. The federal government is a massive machine that will continue to plod ahead consuming our tax dollars no matter who or what lives in the white house.

She won’t do it because its work. Low-paying work by her standards, and lousy food.
