She's not a politician! She doesn't want to run! How many times does she have to let that be known? Would YOU, if you were in her shoes? She has endured 8 years of something she didn't want, for Obama's sake. Now she can have a private life and live life as a wealthy famous person, wearing beautiful clothes, vacationing, working on pet projects, continuing to be a mom and wife, vacationing, giving speeches. She's got it made. Why on earth would she give all that up to hit the campaign trail for 2 years, being attacked the whole time?

Michelle seems like a truly decent person. In my humble.
You lean republican to a minor degree and are considering Michelle Obama for president. Now that makes sense!

Did you see the part where I wasn't happy with a man that is clearly a narcissist among other things. Did your really not read that part or did your partisan politics brain see the keywords and you sheepled out like most typical idealogs do????? LOL... Think for yourself and outside the damn box already.

I clearly said that I didn't like her politics..... I just don't think Trump is a viable candidate.

What is it with the forum. People seem to lack reading comprehension skills.

She's too smart to be a successful politician in America.

In what country?

She is not as popular as you think. If you base your information on the pollisters, remember how wrong they were about the election.

Obama has no qualifications. other than she's married to Barack.

I agree the economy has been stabilized.


In the old days we just called it stagnation.




The $2/gal gasoline is due to the fracking hammer we now hold over OPEC's head.


Thank you President GW Bush and VP Cheney for the 2005 Energy Policy Act!

Yeah poor Michelle being forced to live in the limelight at the expense of the taxpayers (oh and all those dreadful vacations). Crocodile tears for her


She looks as angry and ungrateful as that other despicble creature Hillary.

This whole post is a joke, right? Obama has done nothing for the middle class and provided us with a disastrous health care plan which gave some insurance and took away from others and now the premiums are doubling. The national debt has doubled under his administration and you refer to him as wonderful, Lady you truly are blind.
