you are right, but I still think it would be challenged plus, if I remember my government right and I could be wrong, isn't there something about both candidates being from the same state, not to mention, if the fairy tale did take place, we would have Obama for another 8 years unless we had Michelle for 4 and she was re-elected because he could not run again.. Of course this is all just make believe and I really don't think many people regardless of which side they are on would want Obama or anyone else as Pres for 16 years.

Default Michelle Obama 2016?

Seriously?

I think she's a capable and classy woman, but I can't see her as president.

I don't see the classy part, I know a lot of people do, but for the life of me, I don't see it. As I have said, she has done some good things, appears to be a great mother and a decent 1st lady, but I think she lacks class...Oh well, just my opinion and others will disagree I am sure.

At this point, Warren is the front runner.

Might as well. Her husband has destroyed the nation, such that there will probably just be small, isolated tribal factions over which the president then will have any authority.

There's that optimistic right wing outlook on the future.

Isn't Mel a republican?

Does Michelle have any experience?

At least Hillary was Senator from New York and Secretary of State. Michelle would probably win though just because she is an Obama and the celebrity that comes with that.

It would probably be the U.S. exploding, not republican heads.

For all we know, given the great invisible powers behind the throne, this could Michelle's 5th year as President-ress! I've always pegged Obama as a pushover, and how much of the pushovering will we ever know about!!!

Nancy Reagan, another President-ress, and Hillary, well! At least they were blatant about it!
