The thought of having Obama back in the White House, will send people running to the polls again to vote for anyone but the Obamas.

It's always going to be some white people some place that come up with some stupid comments about qualification when it comes to black people. It's so damn ignorant until it is hilarious. Many as have done will try and pump up Trumps wife as if she could or would achieve what Michelle already achieved. To be honest, Michelle achieved her skill capabilities and did not undress herself in public displays to do so. Not only will many people not get to go to the schools she graduated, they won't get to step food in places she has been, nor to meet people she has met, nor to do any of the many things she has done.

As to her pursuing Office. That options is open to "any american" that wants to throw their hat in the ring.
......and it is certain she has a far better chance if that was her desire, than anyone I've ever seen write anything on this web portal, regardless how they think of themselves.
Michelle is an Ivy League educated attorney.

Everything she achieved after that is solely due to who she married. Don't kid yourself.

She's not going to do it. It's just a pipe dream liberals are hoping for.

if im betting money now i'm betting on sanders running and winning the nomination in 16 with even odds to defeat trump if it goes as bad as i think it will.

i'd recommend booker and kamala harris to wait until 2024 and have them become the face of the party. energetic candidates and well liked among peers and constituents. gabbard from hawaii is another to look out for as well.

I don't see how anyone could be forced to run for any office if they don't want to do so. And I'm under the impression that MO has had enough of life in the WH.

What a joke, that old cow is onher broom heading for California. There is absolutely NOTHING that would get her to run for office. Not only does she hate America, as does her girly man husband, but she hated living in the White House.
...and, lastly, Donald will be so popular by 2020 that God him/her self couldn't beat big Don..
Donald Trump is your president, rejoice, he will make America great again...

all that and all you could come up with was the race angle.. Very sad, you do know that makes you a racist, don't you?

Sanders will be an 80 year old socialist in 2020. Trump will be so popular in four years than no one will run against him,..

I don't think she will (or should) run. She just hasn't had the experience to handle such a monumental task. If anything, she would probably run for office in Illinois first (kind of like Hillary Clinton did in New York).
