A group filed a notice with the FEC (Federal Election Commission) in order to draft Michelle Obama as Joe Biden’s running mate. This has about as much chance of becoming reality as Mean Joe Greene winning a Miss Congeniality Award. First of all, there is no way in hell that Michelle would ever want to be subservient to Joe Biden. Second of all, she is really loving her new life and all the money that entails.
If Michelle were to ever run it would have to be for president. The top spot or nothing at all. But, if she ever ran and won,it would be a bigger disaster than the DTMNBN virus. Barack was bad enough but Michelle would be hell.
I really doubt that she would want the scrutiny she would receive as a presidential candidate as she was as First Lady. And for what? Money? She makes more of that now than she ever could as president? Power? No, kicking Barack around is all of the power that she desires. Fame? She has that in abundance now. I just don’t think she is the ideologue that her husband is. At least not enough to hinder her lifestyle.
The committee registered last month, according to a record from the FEC.
Late last month, Biden said that he would choose the former First Lady “in a heartbeat,” but did not think she was interested in the position.
“I’d take her in a heartbeat,” Biden told KDKA.
“She’s brilliant. She knows the way around. She is a really fine woman. The Obamas are great friends,” Biden added.
The organization said in a statement sent to the media that their goal is to gain grassroots support for Obama to be chosen.
Biden has said that while he is committing to choosing a woman, he can’t guarantee that it will be a woman of color.
“I’ll commit to that [it will] be a woman because it is very important that my administration look like the public, look like the nation. And there will be, committed that there will be a woman of color on the Supreme Court, that doesn’t mean there won’t be a vice president, as well,” Biden said.
Earlier in April, Biden said that he is considering controversial Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer as his pick. People have also speculated that California Sen. Kamala Harris and former Georgia gubernatorial candidate Stacey Abrams may be in the running.
