Michelle Obama’s Next Move (President? Supreme Court Justice?)
Newsweek ^ | December 3, 2012 | Allison Samuels

Posted on 12/02/2012 7:42:46 PM PST by 2ndDivisionVet

Chatting with a group backstage on the set of Jimmy Kimmel Live! in October, Michelle Obama made it clear that she wasn’t thinking about what she might do in the future. “I’m just looking ahead to getting Barack back in office and continuing the work he’s been doing,” she said. “Supporting him is my focus.”

But others think the first lady—who spent the past four years seeking to better the lives of military families and fighting to end childhood obesity before becoming one of the stars of her husband’s reelection effort this fall—could have bigger things ahead of her, if she so chooses. “Michelle is Superwoman. What can’t she do?” Samuel L. Jackson recently told Newsweek. “That’s why people love her. She can be on the Supreme Court and anywhere else she wants. She can be the president. She’s history and she’ll stay history because she is so amazingly smart and together.”

Jackson isn’t the only person thinking along these lines. “I’d love to see her get more into politics because it would be a breath of fresh air in D.C.,” says Democratic Rep. James Clyburn of South Carolina. “She’s honest and straightforward, which is not what you see in Washington much. She is exactly what we need around here.”(continued)

He “voluntarily” gave up his law license..just one more detail of his past we will never know.

All I know is the conservative justices better have taste testers and stay out of Ft. Marcy Park !!

By current standards, Michelle is well qualified for either position. Wait a few years, and those jobs won’t be around any more. Oh well, she’ll be queen then.

If she’s appointed to a position requiring confirmation, she’ll have to explain the why she surrendered her law license.

She will just lie and they will all believe her.

Really, Moochelle, what work is that? His work on the golf course? His work on the basketball court? His work as a customer for a Broadway show? His work screwing America and Americans more than he has?

And, by "supporting him", does that mean you plan to get a job if or when he finally leaves what remains of the White House?

I hope Sam Jackson has doctors who are as qualified for their job as Michelle is for the supreme court or presidency. According to Sam it's skin color that determines a persons qualifications. He calls moochelle superwoman but I think it's more like Wonder-If-It’s-A-Woman.

Could Mochelle the spender really, really, really be a SCJ?

Probably!

The media would be totally uninterested in WHY she no longer has a license to practice law.

After all, she is sooooo erudite(not); soooooo interested in the betterment of the US (not); sooooo smart in intellectual endeavors(not); so very charming and vogue (not).

However, sigh, the GOP would probably be AFRAID to refuse her nomination because they have such a need to stay in good with the media. Now that's a hoot!--because never happen!

Sorry for the double post. My "post" button would not light up, so thought it wasn't posting.

Probably not. Still, it’s probably better than having them emerge to be seated out of a Leftist academia echo chamber after 25 years.
