These are her times.

Supporters of former first lady Michelle Obama wrote an open letter Tuesday urging presumptive Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden to pick her as his running mate.
The Committee to Draft Michelle Obama for VP touted the former first lady as the “most admired woman in the world” and said she could help Biden in his campaign to push President Trump out of office and reunify the country if the Democratic ticket is successful in November.
“As a candidate, she has the power not only to assure victory over Donald Trump but to unite a bitterly divided nation and continue her life’s tireless work for the American people. As a leader, her stature and preexisting rapport with heads of state are unparalleled,” they wrote.
Obama’s supporters noted that Biden previously said he would choose the former first lady if she was interested but urged him to extend a formal invitation.
“Recent polls affirm this, but we cannot afford to take any chances. Mr. Biden must put forward the strongest ticket possible for a crushing landslide that not only unseats Mr. Trump but throws the un-American spirit of Trumpism on the ash heap of history. One that also strengthens the opportunity to win down the ticket and take back the U.S. Senate. This is why we encourage Mr. Biden to formally invite Ms. Obama,” they wrote.
Biden has underscored his comments about Obama in the past by noting that he doesn’t think she has any desire to fill the role or “live near the White House again.”
In the letter, her supporters also acknowledged that Obama may be reluctant to serve.
“We realize such an invitation is a sensitive matter for Ms. Obama, one to which she has given great thought and declined in the past. Of course, we honor whatever she decides now, but we would be remiss if we did not put forth the considerations that we feel underscore her singularity as a leader for this challenging time,” they wrote.
The committee to draft Obama for the vice presidential spot formed earlier this year. The latest push comes as Biden has said he will soon be selecting his running mate.
Biden has pledged to pick a woman for the ticket, and a number of Democrats are on the shortlist, including two of his former presidential primary opponents: Sen. Kamala Harris (D-Calif.) and Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.). Both senators have indicated they would accept the spot if chosen.
An Obama spokesperson was not immediately available for comment.
Our Republic will not survive a second “President obama” (following Biden’s removal by the America/American-hating Democrat/Left Party immediately following his inauguration).
These are her times.
Biden might live longer if he picked Hillary....
Then there would be two figureheads — an eighty-year-old president with declining cognitive functions, and a vice president whose only qualifications for the job are that she is over 35 and is a natural-born citizen.
Here we go...Big Mike, Mr. President!
I think this has been the Plan B...the only one that gives Biden a chance to hold the Black vote...
Stories like this feed the MEDIA beast...
A barely literate vice-president? Her senior paper showed a lack of understanding of syntax, paragraph and sentence structure. And her spelling is similar to her husband’s spelling. Remember when he couldn’t spell Syracuse?
Our Republic really didn’t survive the first President Obama. Unless you call being on life support “surviving”.
I guess they want her resting bitch face alongside Plugs resting idiot face
If she is the VP pick, it will lead to an unmitigated GOP rout, something along the lines of 1964 or 1974.
I also think they have been holding this Big Mike VP announcement in order to blunt any imminent indictments of Obama Coup plotters....
These people are sick...will try to diminish a Comey or Brennan indictment...
Big Mike doesn’t want the job.....it requires work.
Yup. I think they will find out to their dismay that the public does not really regard the Obama presidency as a golden age and has no desire to go back to it.
Hands & Chewie?
I frankly hope they don’t do this. She would definitely be a wild card in the race. She doesn’t have any experience, but because her husband was president, she’ll get treated like she did have experience, unlike Susan Rice, who likewise was never elected to anything.
“Depression and Dementia?”
Sounds like someone Uncle Fester would date.
Nope. Electorally, a minimum of 30% of the country is a lost cause for the GOP right now, *regardless* of who is on the DEM ticket. Also, it would do little for the fact that the GOP seems unmotivated to take back the House and could very well cough up the Senate majority.
I called this all the way beck in January.
she only wants a michelle obummer/chelsie clinton type job: low effort + low productivity + high pay
But I thought he was supposed to pick a black WOMAN.
The woman hates white people ... its unlikely she could unite anything except radical leftists who want to dismantle the country.
Honestly ... if this country is stupid enough to elect her ... we collectively get what we deserve.
