Barack: Michelle ‘Definitely Could Be the President’ but ‘She’s Got Too Much Sense’ to Run

President Barack Obama offered a boost for his wife on Friday, saying first lady Michelle Obama could “definitely” win the presidency but that she has “too much sense” to run for office.
“She definitely could be the president but she will never run for the presidency ’cause she’s got too much sense,” Obama said Friday in an interview on Washington, D.C. hip hop radio station WKYS.
Obama was asked about his wife’s political ambitions in the wake of her well-received speech at the Democratic National Convention earlier this month. He said the first lady is instead focused on raising their two daughters “and the work that she’s doing around the country that helps make sure kids are eating right, getting exercise.”
“She’s an incredible person, an incredible talent but politics is not her thing,” Obama said. “You know, she’s happy to support me, she thinks the work I’m doing is important but I can guarantee you that’s not something she’s gonna be doing.”
Michelle Obama has said herself she has no interest in seeking office, saying on “The View” in May, “I’m not interested in politics, never have been.”

Don’t worry, Barry, I want you to appear to have “some sense”…..I will NOT BE VOTING FOR YOU.

Posted on September 22, 2012 at 11:53amBarack Hussein is suggesting Michelle would HAVE TO BE voted in as President if she decided to run for President. Which means, if Michelle decided to run for President and didn’t win, she would become OFFENDED and America would be a RACIST country. Of course, the same goes for Barack Hussein in November. If Barack Hussein is not re-elected, he will become OFFICIALLY OFFENDED and America will OFFICIALLY become a RACIST country. As Barack Hussein and Michelle both qualify as minorities in the United States, government and society in the United States is thereby required to be sensitive-to-their-needs and handle them with tender loving care. This especially goes for Minority-In-Chief Barack Hussein and his wife Michelle. Anything less than total sensitivity and tender loving care from government and society for Barack Hussein and Michelle would only serve to OFFEND both Barack Hussein and Michelle. If this should ever happen, all the Jesse Jacksons and Al Sharptons of the world will crawl out of the woodwork and start screaming RACISM into the eager and waiting microphones of the “Government-Media Complex”. And when this happens, blacks in our “urban areas” will begin OFFICIAL RIOTING whereby they will begin robbing and looting and destroying by means of FLASH-MOBBING and the like. All this will happen if the United States is not sensitive-to-the-needs of Barack Hussein, a minority. Will the United States do something that is politically-incorrect and risk all thi

Posted on September 22, 2012 at 5:18pm@JD Tanker I read on a website that the family have plans to move into a a Hawaiian estate upon Barack’s retirement. The same website also had a story a couple of weeks ago about Obama being gay and how he used to frequent gay bath houses while a state senator in Chicago. I don’t know if this is true and I don’t care who he sleeps with, but I already felt that this guy was a huge fraud and this is the cherry on top. BTW I found another story today about same – I wish we could find out if it is true, because all of the lies and deceit that surround this guy are alarming.

Just when old Bill is thinking that everyone has forgotten about Juanita Broderick and all the others he raped, here comes Monica and her $12 million dollar book deal. But, here’s my question: How much money did it take for Monica to hold-off this long?
You can’t tell me that Bill didn’t pay major bucks to Monica (probably in an overseas account) to get her pledge that this book would not come until Hillbilly Hillary was set for life, as in at least Secretary of State. These things don’t happen without a solid money trail.

The country is already in dire straits of collapsing and a second term from the fraudulent one will surley send us into a depression worse than anyone has ever seen in history, and with the cuts he wants to make to the military, leave us at the mercy of forces wanting to destroy us completely.
These Obama fools better rethink thier ideals. With the way barry and Billery have concocted this rebellion of the muslims, we must remain vigilant & look out for a false flag terror event here @ home so he can stir the pot some more. War is on the horizon and this time there will be casualties on our own soil if this guy is reelected, maybe even before the election.

Her demands through the FDA requirements regarding school lunches are already having a sever effect on school athletes. Her demands seem to be just enough food to feed the constantly sedentary. Many of these kids have to bring food from home, defeating many of the school meal programs for the minorities and poor. These programs were started to begin with, to feed kids whose families were believed to not have enough food at home.

programs for the minorities and poor.
_______________________________________________________
There have been MANY stories of moms doing exactly that – packing the kids lunch,
only to have the school’s “food police” deem the packed lunch from home as “unacceptable
and confiscate said meal. Recently one school superintendent declared PBJ “racist”.
I sometimes really think that no election will fix this brokenness. People have been asleep
at the wheel for far too long and we’ve allowed this disease to progress too far, such that
the only feasible, real remedy is radical surgery. The millions of americans who make up
the entitlement class will never vote against their self-interest. Neither will the vast majority
of politicians. Most politicians arent going to voluntarily vote to abolish the Fed. Most
politicians arent going to vote us out of the UN. They’re all more interested in self-enrichment
than for the good of the country. Most of them have an “every man for himself” mentality.
They’re the elitist ruling class who “know best”. Their destiny [in their minds] is benevolent
rule over the debt-serf working class because to them, we’re too stupid to know whats good
for us. Make no mistake though. The people voted for these vipers.

You really grabbed me as I read this. Hillary wants the presidency more than life itself, but I suspect that Bubba has the same view. What is Bill really expecting from this, or does he just want to occupy the White House again? I’ve heard other around here talking about him wanting to be the Ambassador to the UN, but that would take an appointment from Hillary. I do recall that there were either rules or laws enacted after JFK regarding no more nepotism with cabinet or government appointed seats. Anybody know if it was a law, and whether or not it sunsetted? Bubba really wants his foot in the door at the UN in hopes of becoming Secretary General. I suspect that 0bama has eventual aspirations for that office too.

Posted on September 22, 2012 at 2:24pm@STEELEX…. Unfortunately that is not the case … the Constitution never defined “Natural Born Citizen”
The Supreme Court has:
the term “natural born” citizen means “a person who is entitled to U.S. citizenship “by birth” or “at birth”, either by being born “in” the United States and under its jurisdiction, even those born to alien parents; by being born abroad to U.S. citizen-parents; or by being born in other situations meeting legal requirements for U.S. citizenship “at birth”.”
Even so, the definition has never been more specifically defined than that and any Legislative attempts to do so have been defeated.
