Michelle Obama’s spin doctors in her office are insisting she won’t be hitting the presidential racetrack in 2024. According to NBC News [1], Crystal Carson, the mouthpiece for Michelle’s operations, declared, “As former First Lady Michelle Obama has expressed several times over the years, she will not be running for president. Mrs. Obama supports President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris’ re-election campaign.”
RUNNING?! Michelle doesn’t need to run for anything.
There is no need for Michelle to break a sweat in a presidential marathon and be raked over the coals by her opponents when she can just gracefully waltz onto the stage and accept the nomination at the DNC’s Nomination Convention in Chicago.
All it takes is for Biden to throw in the towel or for his delegates to give him the political equivalent of a pink slip, paving the way for a fresher face on their roster.
Barack’s love for Biden may be fleeting.
Sure, hubby Barack Hussein Obama II may be currently pledging undying allegiance to the Biden/ Harris duo, but in politics, promises can evaporate faster than a puddle in the summer sun.
A strategic swaparoo is always on the table. And who would be Michelle’s VP? Naturally, it’s a Kamala-or-bust scenario. You can’t evict the cackling veep from the White House without causing a political tempest, especially after she climbed and clawed her way up the ranks.
What is the plan? And does anyone other than the Obamas know the plan?
However, on the other hand, there may be no actual coup planned against Biden by the Obamas and their friends. They could all be completely innocent and enjoying their lucrative private lives.
Michelle has played the “politics isn’t my thing” card for a while now, citing the trials she endured during Barack’s stint in the Oval Office. In a heart-to-heart with Oprah Winfrey last year on a Netflix special, she mused, “Politics is hard…And the people who get into it … you’ve got to want it. It’s got to be in your soul, because it is so important. It is not in my soul.”
I guess we won’t know for sure until the convention in August.
Saving democracy at all costs.
But, democracy is hanging by a thread – or so the Democrats assert. The fear of Trump unleashing his wrath on all adversaries, including Barack and his comrades, looms large.
At the very least, Barack wouldn’t want the legacy he crafted to be tarnished by the infamous Orange Man Bad winning even amidst all of the election interference that the Democrats are throwing at him.
In politics, one should never rule out a comeback, especially when it’s clad in a tailored suit and delivered with a well-rehearsed smile and a MAGA hat. And that’s exactly what Barrack and his merry band of thieves are afraid of.
Which means nothing, absolutely nothing, is off the table during this election season.
