ASHINGTON — Sen. Mark Kirk, R-Ill., is invoking first lady Michelle Obama as a possible 2016 opponent in a recent fund-raising appeal, citing the "press and rumor mills" as his source — though Mrs. Obama has given no sign she is interested in running for elected office. It's even doubtful President Barack Obama and the First Family will immediately return to Chicago after leaving the White House, since youngest daughter Sasha will still be in high school here in January, 2017.

The letter, dated Sept. 5, serves to confirm that Kirk will seek a second term.

The Lunch Lady can do for Illinois what she’s done to millions of kids around the nation - screw them.

Michelle Obama is running for the Senate for sure.

She wants to be the new Hillary and copy the Bill-Hill “Ms inside, Mr Outside” pay for play playbook

Some combo of a future Dem ticket awaits: Elizabeth Warren/Michelle Obama or Hillary Clinton/Julian Castro?

That's the definition of the job of a United States Senator - with massive power and perks added to sweeten the pot.

She'll need a job if she dumps Obama in divorce court....and a senatorship from her home town might just appeal to her.

Otherwise, this ghastly couple will figure out a creative way to travel the country and the world on the taxpayers' dime....or there may be a deal with Hillary that the Won gets a Supreme Court appointment if she wins.

No matter what happens, I'm certain we'll continue to get screwed by the Obamas for the rest of their (and our) natural lives.

She won’t have to face the voters.

One of the Senators will unexpectedly decide to “spend more time with the family” and she will be appointed to the empty seat by Quinn.

Ah Michael LaVaughn disappeared and moochelle appeared. Same look but one can see the need for dozens of assistants (first time) to play something not genetically encoded. We are being had, screwed, flipped, broken and then beheaded. We need to start some vicious acts and purgings. God Help Us!
