Michelle Obama: The Candidate?

Too soon, too soon, of course.

After observing close-up the kind of headwinds her husband has met in Washington, D.C., and beyond, there is absolutely no indication that first lady Michelle Obama is looking to place her own name on any ballot. She has, in fact, said the opposite, although in his just-released book, Michelle Obama: A Life, veteran journalist Peter Slevin reports that she has always been a full partner in her husband’s political career. But it is significant that former first lady, U.S. Sen. and Secretary of State Hillary Clinton has hired Michelle Obama’s former communications chief as Clinton enters her bid for the 2016 Democratic presidential nomination.

With approval ratings that have always surpassed her husband’s and ovations over everything from her Let’s Move! campaign to her Tonight Show dance-offs with host Jimmy Fallon, Obama’s image is one to envy and emulate.

According to reports, Clinton plans to go small in her campaign this time around, emphasizing personality and connection with voters.

If Obama followed Clinton’s path, from first lady to political candidate, she would start out with loads of goodwill....

“start out with loads”

yeah it is not goodwill she will be loaded with. She already is a wide load.

Excellent description. ‘Nuff said!

[erkelly]

I was thinking exactly the same thing! Michelle Obama has surely created a generation of anti-Democrats, if not young Republicans.

[zeebee]

My thoughts exactly. Well put.

[[I prefer to take the view that God is testing us]]

I used to htik that too- but lately I’m leaning towards it coming into the end times when the man of lawlessness will be let loose- I think the stage is being set for him to appear- considering how far we’ve sunk into lawlessness already- people calling evil good, and good evil- people believing a lie- God said he would send powerful delusions upon the people, and we’re seeing peop-el fall for things like ‘man-0caused’ climate change, the gay agenda, the attacks on Christianity where it’s now ok to discriminate against Christians, forcing them to violate their beliefs or lose their businesses- on and on it goes-

Plus the unrest I n the middle east, and islam infiltrating societies all over the world- and Russia making alliances and positioning it’self to become the great bear again- and the growing hatred and outright anti-Semitism by the world- even the US-

It was a miracle that our relatively tiny nation, and another tiny nation Britain, became the world super powers they used to be, and it was because we both revered God and protected Israel- God took our tiny nations and made them the most respected nations on earth- greatly blessing us in just a short time- Now though, we’re both kicking Him out, and inviting Satan/sin/depravity in- our schools are indoctrinating our kids- brainwashing them- our government is attacking the family structure, our free speech, our religious beliefs- Government has become hostile towards Religious and conservatives- true conservatives- and they are passing all these laws that republican won’t dare repeal because the MSM will hound them out of office claiming the republicans are attacking ‘poor people’ and ‘people of different sexual persuasions’ and ‘people of different ethnicities’ etc etc etc

You have a lot of optimism- I do honestly hope you’re right, but I fear God has turned His face from this nation of ours taking into consideration how quickly this great and powerful nation has been destroyed from liberals from within-

[[What ever we have left that passes for “normal” - life as we used to know it - is being taken from us in huge swaths by the day. ]]

Exactly- heck- even TV now is reflecting the depraved moral values of the times- there are daytime commercials so freakin filthy it is unthinkable that they even allowed them to air at all- let alone during the daytime- and that is now, in the last year, becoming the norm- The “B” word is now commonplace on TV, in public, and everywhere you look on TV the shows trot out some homosexuals when you least expect it- We had to cancel our movie channels because you couldn’t hardly find a decent movie anymore- We get turner classics- and what a difference between those m ovies and the garbage and filth they call movies today-

it’s just shocking how quickly we are devolving into a Godless angry society, and like you say, great swaths of decent life are beign yanked away from us constantly- Parents now have to turn a blind eye to the filth their kids are beign taught in schools, and just say “Well, that’s just how it is now” Because no one will really fight it any more-

I keep seeing people claim America is sick of the wars overseas, that we are ‘tired’ of the conflicts- but it’s the wars at home here, like fighting the homosexual agenda that is infiltrating our schools, that has people truly worn out and exhausted- people are just giving up now- The left have hammered, hammered, hammered until many on the right just gave up from sheer exhaustion/battle fatigue-

It’s stunning to me that we have to even fight to try to keep our constitutionally granted rights, and that we have to fight the constant onslaught of perversion and filth creeping into our every day lives!

Hillary Clinton has hired Michelle Obama’s former communications chief -
the one responsible for the "Boob Belt"

I don't need no stinking Boob Belt!

I erased a DVR’d NCIS: New Orleans last night. It had a Navy officer who had a kidnapped infant....he had left the car running and gone back inside the house and the car was taken. In the first 10 minutes, his ‘husband’ came home and started yelling at him for leaving the infant in the car and going back inside the house. Hollywierd ‘normalizing’ all that is abnormal, in TV shows, to make the abnormal more acceptable. Deleted the episode without watching. I was upset with the previous NCIS as it had a storyline about Fast and Furious and said ‘it has been going on for 8 years’.......basically putting the blame on Bush. I have always enjoyed NCIS, but may have to stop watching due to their recent Leftward slant. It used to be pretty evenhanded....not anymore.

[Bob434]

[[It used to be pretty evenhanded....not anymore.]]

Yup- and it’s really gone south in the last 6 years- and is only going to get worse- All these tv stations are doping double duty as entertainment AND political agenda promoters- Sad, because TV at least used to be watchable, not so much any longer

[bluejean]

Totally agreed. The godless malcontents have the momentum and are trying to cram as much depravity as possible into every moment. Comedy isn’t comedy anymore on TV, it’s how much potty-mouth they can get away with. I was never totally sold on the idea of evolution, but watching civilization descend into barbarian mayhem and mob rule sure looks like devolution. Humanity made some great strides for awhile, now it is crashing into a gutter and they WANT it to go there! Boggles the mind.

[[I was never totally sold on the idea of evolution, but watching civilization descend into barbarian mayhem and mob rule sure looks like devolution]]

Devolution would be loss of genetic information, a scientific possibility which can and does often happen, macro-evolution, a gain of non species specific information is not a scientific possibility except in cases of symbiotic relationships, where a parasite invades a system and coexists with a host species which of course isn’t evolution for various scientific reasons

But alas,

[[Humanity made some great strides for awhile, now it is crashing into a gutter and they WANT it to go there!]]

Precisely, it’s very sad to watch it happening right before our eyes, in just 6 short years (it had been happening before then too, but it was very slow and gradual- these last 6 years though have seen a massive increase and speed to this slide into depravity)

[bluejean]

“Devolution would be loss of genetic information”

Spiritually this seems to be almost exactly what is happening - metaphorically of course. Humans are forgetting their origen , their history, thier God. Searing their consciences, rebelling against sanity and common sense and reason. And yes, a lot of damage has been done in six years. It’s very hard to watch this happening and wonder where it ends for this country - and the world.
