Michelle Obama recruited to run for Senate, Chicago mayor
2016-10-19
She loathes political people, and voters even more. Nor is Mr. Obama likely to be happy as a trailing spouse while she gets all the attention, especially since Mr. Clinton will have vacuumed up all the lucrative speaking offers.
[WASHINGTONEXAMINER] First lady Michelle Obama's star status on the 2016 campaign trail is prompting top Democrats back home in Illinois to ready an effort to recruit her to run for the Senate or mayor of reliably Democrat Chicago, aka The Windy City or Mobtown
... home of Al Capone, a succession of Daleys, Barak Obama, and Rahm Emmanuel,...
Should she run and win, Obama would join only Hillary Clinton
... sometimes described as Deplorable, Irredeemable and at other times as Mrs. Bill, never as Another Daniel Webster ...
in the rare class of former first ladies to swap out the "volunteer" public service job for an elected position.

The burgeoning effort comes despite Obama's inclination to leave elective politics behind when her husband's two terms are up in January, according to National Journal.

#7  Well, she has to have SOMETHING on her resume before she is crowned the first African American female President.

That's not funny.

#6  Perhaps we could fence Chicago in and leave the Obamas in charge. Then check back in a few decades to see what's left.
