Well, that escalated quickly.
Rumors of Michelle Obama possibly taking over the Democrat nomination in August, that is, especially following the devastating DOJ report on Biden’s “diminished capacities” and “poor memory.”
If that’s what the largely weaponized DOJ says, one can only imagine what more than one objective physician might say.
Especially after Biden denied the report’s validity and proceeded to mix up the presidents of Mexico and Egypt.
Whoops.
Now, rumors of Obama’s new “fourth term” candidate have gone into overdrive, with none other than Obama’s own wife serving as a top contender in the ever-intensifying public discussion.
Hilariously, even media outlets are openly labeling a Michelle Obama run as a blatant fourth term for Mr. “Change” himself.
According to a scathing editorial from the Daily Mail, Michelle Obama may well be in the running despite her protests to the contrary.
“Rumors that Mrs. Obama might run for president have plagued the Washington political scene for years. But she has always denied that she wants the job … Fine. But why doesn’t anyone outside of the chattering political punditry seem to believe her?” columnist Amber Duke questioned.
Well, that would be because the Obamas are hardly renowned for their honesty, in particular Barack himself.
Unfortuantely, Obama has long spellbound much of society with his ghostwritten speeches and so-called “diversity” attributes, despite growing up more privileged than most Americans … of all backgrounds.
So, little wonder that many continue fantasizing about the ultimate DEI candidate in office once again.
“Vegas betting odds have placed Michelle Obama as high as 11 to 1 – the third most likely outcome behind Donald Trump and Joe Biden – to become the next President.
What has convinced the high rollers that Michelle is a better bet than Kamala Harris, Nikki Haley, Gavin Newsom, or Gretchen Whitmer?” Duke continued.
Well, out of that crowd, the Democrats listed are especially loathsome, which Duke hilariously details.
“Vice President Kamala Harris is Joe’s obvious replacement at the top of the ticket, and she told the Wall Street Journal that she is ‘ready to serve.’ Except her approval ratings have fallen faster than Joe’s jowls. The left is desperate – but they’re not suicidal. Kamala’s cooked,” Duke remarked crisply.
Desperate Democrats. Such a phrase has quite a truthful ring to it.
“The corrosive rules of progressive identity politics dictate that whoever jumps ahead of Harris – the first woman, the first Black American, and the first South Asian American to be elected to be V.P. – must also check quite a few frivolous boxes … That rules out snow white, greasy Gavin and bombastic Gretchen,” Duke continued.
That’s hilarious. “Greasy Gavin” is almost as good as “Governor Gruesome,” though both are equally applicable.
Duke gives an especially scathing summation of hapless Pete Buttigieg, who apparently spends more time on private jets or on paternity leave with his husband, thereby disqualifying him from all serious consideration.
“The liberal media tried to make Mayor Pete happen, but he disqualified himself by being uniquely terrible in his role as Secretary of Transportation,” Duke remarked savagely.
Brilliant assessment.
And that’s when Duke highlights what may well become reality in August.
“As far-fetched as it sounds, Michelle Obama could be parachuted into the Democratic National Convention in Chicago in August 2024 to lead the party …
Here’s how that would work: in the Democratic primary, delegates won by candidates in the state contests are ethically but not legally bound to support any one person at the nominating convention …
So, President Biden (after some arm twisting from the party establishment) can decide to step aside at the Chicago convention and throw his support to Michelle … If he does, the delegates’ votes will follow and voilà… Michelle Obama 2024,” Duke declared.
Scary. Yet all too realistic.
“The only remaining hypothetical that I am truly struggling with is: what does a Michelle Obama administration look like? She’s never articulated any policy views outside of her Candy Land-authoritarian campaign to ban strawberry milk from school lunches,” the columnist mused.
Fairly hilarious, as well as accurate. Indeed, Democrats are uniquely obsessed with total control over everything and everyone.
Then Duke hits the heart of the matter, as well as the real reason the Dems may back Michelle Obama.
Who, in reality, would be little more than a figurehead while her husband does all the dirty work behind the scenes.
Much as he likely is with Biden now.
“Would her regime be a continuation of Barack’s administration? He once promised to ‘fundamentally transform’ the United States. It wouldn’t be a stretch to think Barry might piggyback on his wife to enjoy a third or even fourth term in office,” Duke concluded.
And, if he manages to assure a Michelle victory in 2024, he may well gun for a fifth term in 2028.
Which is why one can only hope that Obama’s wife will follow through on her promise to never seek office.
