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.

It's a scam.

The real news is how many PACs and SuperPACs have filed papers last month -- and every month.

Some of them aren't legit.

It really is an endless campaign.

Draft Al Franken 2020 is one of many.

She's suckled on the teat of the taxpayers far too long already. Wore out her welcome with the American people. As an Obama, she doesn't get a bite from the golden apple again. She who said she was never proud of this country until her husband was elected.

No more first lady's who think their shit don't stink and think they're qualified to run the country and be the leader of the free world merely by osmosis via their husbands. This hulk doesn't have any qualifications to be president. What is the Left thinking?

Like they say down here in the South, "Not just no, but hell no!"

The Dems are figuring out that to win the presidency again, they will have to try an Obama-style redux. They need to distract the electorate from their policies, which are unpopular, with a bright shiny object.

But I doubt it will be Michelle. More likely they will go with Kamala Harris. She was AG for CA and has just been elected to the Senate in California (replacing the retiring Barbara Boxer). Wikipedia says her father is Jamaican-American, and her mother is from India.

So Harris would be a "historic" three-fer for them, as (1) a woman; (2) "of color;" and (3) part Asian.

She is much smarter than Michelle O. Also unlike Michelle, she will have held elective office for several years.

Ordinarily I'd say Harris is waaay too radical to be elected president. But so was Obama. The electorate was so eager to embrace his promise of a post-racial America, they ignored the evidence of his radicalism.

She won’t run. That would involve work on her part.

Apparently the bar is VERY low to be “quaified” to be a democratic POTUS candidate: Marry a POTUS and be an ugly, hateful, and stupid shrew.

Michelle’s college thesis was titled:\

WHY I HATE AMERICA.

This needs to be spread far & wide. She is as bad a snake as Barry.
