Michelle Obama is being tipped to
follow in her husband footsteps and run as the Democrat candidate in the 2020 US
presidential race. Despite her repeated denials that she has any political
ambitions, highly placed Washington insiders believe Mrs Obama"'s sky-high
approval ratings with voters will prompt senior Democrats to urge her to
reconsider.
It follows the huge success of her memoir "Becoming," which has
topped the bestseller lists since it was published in November. Polls also
regularly rate her more popular than Donald Trump. Her husband Barack"'s rise
to become America"s first black President began in 2006 with the publication
of his book "The Audacity Of Hope," followed the next year by his decision to
run for the White House. Pundits say an attempt by Mrs Obama to become
America:s first female President could prove more than a match for Mr Trump.
Hat tip; Urgent Agenda.

Dana, there was a black reverend who used to play NFL
football, a friend of Rush Limbaugh, who would call his show. This Reverend
recently died but once on Rush's show he stated that after seeing Obama, no
black person would become Presdent again for more than a generation.
Yeah, and black people want to return to 16 percent
unemployment so Moochelle can walk around in $500 sneakers....
