Axelrod: I’ll bet the house that Michelle Obama never runs for office

With Hillary Clinton reaching the end of a generation-long quest to return the Clintons to the White House — successful or not — some are pondering the First Lady-to-POTUS model in the future. With Michelle Obama hitting the hustings hard for Hillary*, that question obviously applies in the present tense. Don’t worry, former Barack Obama campaign chief tells Hugh Hewitt this morning — he’d bet “everything I own” that the current First Lady wants a non-electoral life when Barack Obama retires in January:

Oh crap. Axleshaft said that? You know he's lying. As usual. I propose that someone, anyone, cobble a bill together forbidding any relative, by blood or marriage, from running for the presidency for at least 100 years after their relative served in that position. NO DYNASTIES! You could tie it to term limits as well.

She’d more likely join The View.

[wastedyears]

So that means she will at some point.

[buckalfa]

Michelle in 2024 to 2032, then it is Chelsea’s turn.

[Jamestown1630]

Yes. She hasn’t seemed to like living in our White House.

[rktman]

Gaggle time. Cackling galore. She’s nearly as intelligent as most of the view crew. Such tolerance. Do they give nobel prizes for groups who further diversity and tolerance. /s

[ColdOne]

Then we now know she is.

[DIRTYSECRET]

Her butt will only get bigger.

[Gamecock]

I think being POTUS would involve with her mooching too much. Being paid a large some of money for berating Americans will provide her the lifestyle she is accustomed to with a lot less work.

[McGruff]

Who asked him?

[Gamecock]

involve=interfere

[McGruff]

Democrats always say one thing then do the opposite.

[butlerweave]

Ya , she’s way too Crabby

[ROCKLOBSTER]

then it is Chelsea’s turn.

Speaking of witch...

I was so pleased to see the little snowflake getting a crash course on her rapist father, and her murdering mother and traitor, during the second debate.

“non-electoral” is an unusual choice of words ...does that means she desires an lifetime appointed position??? Hmmm, maybe SCOTUS???

Translation: She will run. She just wants people to beg her to run.

[DIRTYSECRET]

Maybe if she leaves Barak and has nothing to do. Her hospital job was a no-show job and she wasn’t replaced.

[Bitsy]

She hasn’t seemed to like living in our White House.

I don’t know. She sure likes those designer clothes we buy for her and all those vacation and all those make up artists that make her look human. I don’t know if she wants to give all that up.

Michelle O. knows good and well that if she wants to serve the country, she doesn’t really have to sweat it. The job, or a similar job will be hers, no problem. Either she will simply be appointed to a position, such as head of a committee or an ambassadorship, or the dems will ‘cook the votes’ for her.

Worse comes to worst and she has to outright run for a nomination “and stuff’, efforts will be made to elimmnate all true competitors. She will be running against a group of nobodies who have comparatively no money.
So, if I, a true ‘nobody’, can figure out how this system works, I know Michelle’s group can do the same if she so chooses. Oh, and then, there is always the chance that she does run fairly, and simply is not popular enough to sufficiently cheat and carve out a win. She may lose and lose big.
