Is Michelle Obama Fibbing?

Conventional wisdom, for some, was that Michelle Obama wouldn’t give up her cushy lifestyle for the nonstop tension of the presidency.

The headline at Fox News read, “Michelle Obama’s office shuts down speculation that she is planning to run for president.”

Here at The Epoch Times, it was a tad more circumspect, “Michelle Obama’s Office Responds to 2024 Rumors,” with a subhead “The former first lady’s spokesperson issued a statement on the speculation.”

Note that this was “her office” that was shutting down “speculation” and that the announcement came from a “spokesperson,” not Ms. Obama.

It was far from the definitive Shermanesque, “If nominated, I will not run; if elected, I will not serve” delivered by the potential candidate him or herself.

Not to be too much of a homeboy, I suspect the outlet you are currently reading was closer to the truth.

Recall that former South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley not that long ago announced she would never run against former President Donald Trump should he run. She also later rescinded her pledge to support the nominee, saying it was just necessary campaign blather. The world of politics isn’t pretty.

In the wake of President Trump’s near-unanimous Super Tuesday victories and his continued ability to fend off the unprecedented lawfare against him, at least so far, things are not likely happy at Camp Obama, whether on Maui, Martha’s Vineyard, or Washington’s swank Kalorama neighborhood.

Conventional wisdom, for some anyway, was that Ms. Obama wouldn’t give up her cushy lifestyle for the nonstop tension of running for the presidency and the presidency itself.

But America stands on the brink of a massive exchange of power that undermines everything the Obamas and the Democratic Party in their version stand for.

One of the big “takeaways,” pardon the cliché, from Super Tuesday is the notable lack of enthusiasm for President Joe Biden. It wasn’t just the Democrats that voted “none of the above” in their primary in several states, but the low numbers of their party who turned out to vote generally.

Some of this may be because of crossovers who chose, in opposition to President Trump, to vote for Ms. Haley in open primaries, but only some.

The auguries for President Biden are poor and getting worse.

Logical replacements are few, although it seems Vice President Kamala Harris is being groomed of late, injected in meetings to help solve the Middle East crisis, something for which, to be kind, she seems ill-suited and has had to have her statements corrected.
