Speculation on Michelle Obama for Senate in 2016 Jeff Poor - The Daily Caller 1 hr 29 mins ago
In November 2016, Illinois voters will go to the polls to decide who they want to occupy the U.S. Senate seat currently held by Republican Sen. Mark Kirk. And although it is a long way off, could one of the names on the ticket be first lady Michelle Obama?
At the end of this weekend’s broadcast of “The McLaughlin Group,” show host John McLaughlin made that bold prediction, saying a Michelle Obama run for the seat her husband won in 2004 would happen.
“Michelle Obama will run for the United States Senate in 2016 and she will be thereby mimicking, if that’s not the right word [then] duplicating the career of Hillary Clinton,” McLaughlin said.

The worst idea of the new decade.
Would she have to pay for her own vacations ? The right answer will give you the answer LOL
Cannot figure how ANYONE could ever call here angry ....
FLASHBACK:

Since then, she has largely left the details of the campaign to her husband and his political team. Michelle does not sit in on strategy sessions, vet speeches or spend hours on the phone fund-raising. “I hate fund-raising,” she tells NEWSWEEK. “Haaaaate it. Hate, hate it.” Politics and policy animate her—like her husband, she turned away from a lucrative law career to work in public service. One late night in Iowa, she stayed up on the campaign bus, waxing to NEWSWEEK about the dangers of cynicism in politics. Barack, exhausted, was flaked out on the couch half-dozing. But she has no secret dreams of seeking office herself. When a reporter recently joked that she could run for Barack’s Senate seat if he were elected president, Michelle made a face of mock disgust. “Ugh,” she grimaced. “No, thank you.”
Heck, she could have just bought it from Blago!
That is ridiculous! IF we ever get them out of the White hut I highly doubt they will stay in America for long. They will retire overseas, Spain most likely, next door to the Saudi palace there, access their offshore accounts and just sit back and spend what they stole from taxpayers.
Is Kenya now a state or wil be?

We will never be rid of the Arkansas Trailer Trash or the Chicago Ghetto Trash until they reach room temp. The Founding Fathers are no doubt weeping.
There needs to be a way to flag a headline as barfable without even reading the headline.
Just seeing it was seriously nausea inducing!
I hope the voters aren’t quite that stupid...
Never happen. She would have to be somewhere at a certain time. IE: Work
And why would she even consider this? They have stolen so much cash that they never have to work again. They have access to $100’s of millions.
Michelle will never run for Senate. I am pretty sure of that.
Not going to happen.
Once she became simply on of one hundred then every one would stop kissing her rather ample black ass.
Ya think?
Would she REALLY be able to do this? Or, would she have to run for two seats?
LOL.
I think Illinois would be sick ofthem. I know I am sick of them.
She must not have read the job description very well. There’s no free housing, no servants, no limousines, no private airplane, no lobster, no weygu beef, no Halloween parties filled with celebrities, no free ball gowns, no free shoes, no free liquor, and no free vegetable garden. She’ll have to take mooching to a whole new level to maintain the status quo in the Senate.
