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.
I think it will be moochelle.
Don’t they know she’s depressed? How does that balance the ticket? Depression and Dementia?
To complete her life’s work??? LOL! Her only work is to continue to rake in the money she’s “made” as bammy’s wife.
I once had a goldfish that was more qualified than Michelle.
So do I
That is why they are delaying it as much as possible
After four years of bashing Trump as unqualified because he’d never held elective office before?
This should be interesting.
And unlike her, the goldfish was always happy to be alive
in the United States.
There is no bottom limit of the sheer stupidity of voters. They voted TWICE for this America-hating piece of muzzlime garbage and his grifter wife, living high on the hog off the American taxpayers while hating them. Moochie has absolutely no background or experience in leading people, except leading them on. She is a fake, a grifter, a liar and as anti-American as heck. Her being president (G-d forbid) would simply be a third term of her criminal husband, and truly would be the end of America as we know it. Don’t think I don’t know who Soros’ lieutenants are, carrying a lot of his plans. Odungo & Moochie, of course.
Another hateful half of the Wrecking Two.
Dumb and Dumber......................
One, she wants to be formally and publicly begged to take the VP slot. What a deluded and misguided ego.
Two, “she could unite a bitterly divided nation”. Given the efforts her husband put forth to bring about this state of affairs, this seems very Democratic of her and her ilk.
I think it will be moochelle. How about Michael ?
She’s too lazy.
If Biden is elected (God forbid!) Michelle would be available for V.P. after he is removed via the 25th Amendment, or steps down on his own.
Remember Nelson Rockefeller?
He picks her and is elected, watch for Obamacide within a week.
The nominee isn’t even gonna be sniffy Joe for crying out loud. The idiot doesn’t know what day it is. Running mate is not anything to worry about.
Great.....one candidate with no brains, the other with no vagina. ....
“She’s too lazy.”
Valerie Jarrett is prepared to be the puppet master again. All Michelle has to do is read from the script and wave to the sheeple.
Personally I don’t think she has the stomach for going up against The Trumpster.
In ‘08 McCain and the lamestream media gave her a pass on SO many things. “I was never proud of my country before”, her $300K a year job hustling poor black patients away to other hospitals, etc.
Trump will launch a full-frontal assault on her on all that.
