Yes, there is a celebrity Afro-American woman who would make a great president.

[Stuart G]

But she isn't named Oprah. Yes, a lot of experience in politics. She is smart, well known, and would have outstanding support from some great people. She would easily win. More easily than Oprah. And she is well liked by millions. Her name is Michelle. Her husband is also well known and respected throughout the world.

Why not? Stranger things have happened. Look around and we see some very strange things. Why not a wonderful and feel good unusual happening. President Michelle Obama...!!!!!!








What a wonderful statement for the United States to make after this horrific experience named Trump

[ollie10]

1. I would fully support Michelle!!.

I would welcome the sight of people who were dissing Oprah for not having legislative experience forget all the things they said about Oprah.

Michelle/Oprah sounds good to me.

The best part would be the total crash that would be visited upon Trump losing to two women, two blacks, and someone named Obama

[brush]

2. Yep, that would definitely do it. He'd have a massive stroke.

[Stuart G]

3. Great Point..."two black women, and Trump losing to someone named Obama" incredible!!!

[50 Shades Of Blue]

4. My dream candidate.

[IluvPitties]

5. She would be fantastic president.

[Stuart G]

6. Yes.."fantastic" and some great support.

Do you think the country would rally around her? How would Democrats and Independents think about President Michelle?

[Bettie]

7. I'd vote for her in a second

however, I doubt she would ever run. She's WAY too smart to want that job!

[eleny]

8. Nice!

[Cha]

9. Good one, Stuart! She's certainly celebrated

as a brilliant First Lady who knows how to organize people and kids for action.

[PoindexterOglethorpe]

10. Aside from the fact that she's made it clear

she has zero interest in the job, and aside from most people being rightly wary of the Presidency being passed around within a family, and aside from her qualification for the job is rooted in having been First Lady for eight years, and . . . oh, I can't remember where I was headed with this.

But no. You can't be serious about this.

[Stuart G]

12. Yes, she may have made it clear, but she would win. Yes, I am serious.

If we are serious about Oprah, then we can at least think about Michelle. Why not? The election is close to 3 years away.

[PoindexterOglethorpe]

18. People who are serious about Oprah aren't thinking very clearly.

The fantasy of Michelle Obama running for President has been raised here any number of times before, and it's just that. A fantasy.

Even if she got the nomination, her election would still be an uphill battle.

And yes, the election is still nearly three years away, and I just wish people would stop worrying about who the next nominee will be, buckle down and work very hard on getting as many Democrats elected as possible at all levels of government, and see who appears to be a good choice only after the mid-terms are over.

[AtheistCrusader]

19. Michelle would be a FAAAAR more practical candidate.

Is someone serious about the Oprah thing?

[Baconator]

37. No one should be serious about Oprah or Michelle...

We have... or at least should have... better options.

[thesquanderer]

21. Ideally, I'd kinda like the first female president to not arrive on a man's coattails. (n/t)

[PoindexterOglethorpe]

22. That, too.

Personally, I would love to see Elizabeth Warren as the candidate, but I doubt that will happen.

[NCTraveler]

11. I would celebrate her entering the primary.

Big time.

We need electoral victories and then to shove it in their faces. It's all out war. I would love to see Michelle Obama nominate Barack Obama for the SC. lol.

[Amishman]

13. Not now, she needs additional experience in government

First lady may be extremely qualifying experience with the diplomatic aspects of the job, but there is more to it.

I'd want her to get legislative experience first, as Hillary wisely did.

[AtheistCrusader]

17. She's a Lawyer and lived in the White House for 8 years.

She's got plenty of experience.

Don't forget, she has a resume of her own.


That said, this is all speculative noise. I doubt she has any intent of being shit on constantly by about half the country for another 4-8 years.

[mainstreetonce]

14. Biden/Obama 2020

What a team!

[Gore1FL]

15. The Obama's nixed that long ago on The View.

The video would make a hell of an opposition advertisement.

I really hope we can find new families to run for president.

[elehhhhna]

16. I was aquainted with her in Chicago before she married. She's a badass. Id vote for her but...

They're not about that and have said so...and I'm not find of politically dynastic family businesses...

[TeamPooka]

20. fyi

Afro-American
1. a hyphenated word derived from the prefix 'Afro-', meaning African and the noun 'American', meaning a citizen of the United States of America.

2. used to describe an American of African descent.

3. a term which has fallen out of favor in recent years for the more politically correct two word phrase 'African American'. Possibly due to the fact that people think that the prefix 'Afro-' does not exist or is in some way derogatory. And believe the noun 'Afro', describing a popular 1970's hairstyle is the only definition available.

[marble falls]

23. Bingo! She has my vote!

[NastyRiffraff]

24. I'd not only vote for her

I'd work my ass off to get her elected. However, I doubt if she has any desire to run. Could be wrong, though.

[rainin]

25. Yes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! n/t

[Wwcd]

26. You know she would kick any Repubs ass.

Imagine Barack back in the WH as Madam Pres's husband.
Repubs would flee the country.
Yaaa !

[doc03]

27. I agree nt

[Kentonio]

28. Michelle Obama is a wonderful woman

But has absolutely no elected experience. First Lady is not a qualification for the Presidency.

[tiredtoo]

29. Ain't gonna happen. EOM

[Initech]

32. It could if we tell the racists and conspiracy theorists to shove it, first.

[Bleacher Creature]

30. I get the sense that she genuinely does not want to move back into the WH.

She's more than earned the right for us to honor that decision.

[Jack-o-Lantern]

31. But she has absolutely no elected experience

…uhh yeah, unlike the orange jackass who had decades of elected experience.

[FiveGoodMen]

33. Regardless of qualifications...

...you realize that the same people who wouldn't vote for Hillary will also not vote for Michelle.

[demopilot]

34. Plus many more...for obvious reasons.

[LittleGirl]

35. No

no no no. I unfriended a friend a year ago last xmas after his remark about the clothes she wears and there is no way, he could be swayed.
Listen, she said she doesn't have an interest in politics, so believe her.
please find someone else like Karmila Harris or Elizabeth Warren that is already serving.

Come on!

[Baconator]

36. I swear... People are determined to lose again and again...

No more Bushes, Clintons, Obamas etc...

There are 300 million people (ish) in this country...

We have more options than just a few families of "the chosen"

It's insanity...

[dalton99a]

39. Agreed.

Dynasties are inherently problematic

[left-of-center2012]

38. I think the last thing Michelle Obama wants ...

... is anything to do with Congress.

In my opinion she'd not want to be President,
having seen how Congress treated her husband.
