Who can blame her !

[Mamyalynne]

No one.

[Jackdaw33]

Well that's one less thing to be worried about. Was she hoping to become the new Hillary, following hubby into the top job?

[jno]

jail crooked Michelle!!

Oops, got carried away there.

[-Talbot-]

What is or are the reasons for your 'Who can blame her !'

?

[woofgang]

Nothing new there, its what she has said all along

//Michelle Obama: 'I Won't Run For Office'//

Errr wrong, that means she will, just testing the water with a disclaimer is all. Power hungry now you see, ohh how they crave the limelight and the status. Liberal trait.

[ichkeria]

Not me. She's better off out of it.

[anneasquith]

Did Hilary not say the same ?

[woofgang]

I find Michelle believable......

[anneasquith]

Woof, in a good way ?

[woofgang]

yes....I think if she us saying no she means it....when the kids are older then she might change her mind of course....

[goodgoalie]

I hope she changes her mind, as I think she'd be brilliant: she's intelligent, level-headed and articulate. The USA will need someone like her soon enough when the Trump experiment implodes

[birdie1971]

The last thing the USA needs – or indeed, the world needs - is another left-wing, 'progressive' (ie. quasi-totalitarian), social justice warrior in office. Unfortunately she's just another Hillary Clinton in waiting – without (I would hope) all the attendant highly illegal and completely immoral baggage. The wife of a former ineffectual, neo-liberal, social justice warrior, who has lived high on the hog for the best part of a decade and who now has got the taste for champaign socialism and wants more of it. God (!) help us.

Mr Obama was a disaster both domestically and internationally and I suspect that Mrs Obama is just more of the same. I wonder if she can speak coherently and articulately without the aid of an auto-cue? Her husband certainly couldn't. He was hopeless. A mumbling, stumbling, shambolic speaker if ever I heard one.

I've said it many times on this site: I think Trump is a buffoon and a dangerous one at that. But the idea that Mrs Obama is somehow a panacea to Trump is utterly delusional. The USA and the world needs a better class of leader.

My vote: Trey Gowdy.

[vulcan42]

Probably not, it definitely won't be for the money, She and her husband are both writing books in a deal worth $40 million.

The moral depth of Michelle Obama was summed up by her response to the abduction of and Muslim girls by Boko Haram: #GiveUsBackOurGirls.

[vetuste_ennemi]

Michelle's hashtag, by the way, was as effective in protecting young girls in Nigeria as all of the OP's mates in Rotherham (Bradford, Oxford, Tower Hamlets, Bristol, Blackburn etc.).

[vetuste_ennemi]

..inn K. pas inrotecting girls in the UK.

[Mamyalynne]

As I said above - no one can blame her.

[vetuste_ennemi]

..in protecting girls in the UK.

Fine words butter no parsnips.
Hypocrites collude in rape.

VE - “The moral depth of Michelle Obama was summed up by her response to the abduction of and Muslim girls by Boko Haram: #GiveUsBackOurGirls.”

Quite. She jumped on that bandwagon for all of 30 seconds. Then.... nothing. Nada. Zip.

When, a few months later, many Yazidi women and girls were captured by ISIS in essentially identical circumstances in order to make them sex slaves (literally being bought and sold in Islamic slave auctions), the world heard not a peep from Mrs Obama. The coil on her moral compass must have broken due to spinning in every imaginable direction for so long.

I've said it earlier in another thread – Mrs Obama is just another in a long line of neo-liberal, 'progressive' (ie. quasi-totalitarian), champaign socialists who care nothing for the downtrodden unless support for the aforementioned downtrodden benefits them specifically.
