MICHELLE MAKING HER MOVE? – AT 8:52 A.M. ET:  Have you noticed that Michelle Obama is making news again?  Gee, I wonder why.  It couldn't possibly be some polling showing she would be a very competitive presidential candidate, would it?  Nah.  From Business Insider: 

Michelle Obama is hopeful about the next generation of leaders in the US.

The former first lady of the US, 54, has been meeting many younger leaders through her work with the Obama Foundation. It's given her a lot of optimism about their approach to leading the country.

"They're tired of watching us do the same old thing and expect different results," Obama said at Klick Health's Muse event in New York on Tuesday. "So I'm optimistic about the future. There are some bright young people out there doing some amazing things."

Those interactions have helped to solidify her plans, which likely won't involve a run for office.

"This is why I'm not going to run for president" she said. "Because I think it's a better investment to invest in creating thousands of mes."

Oh please.  She's not running until she's running.  Oprah said she wasn't running, and now says she'd run if God told her to run.  Her advance men are emailing God.

Rather than just having one "Michelle Obama" vying for the presidency, she hopes to help more people get into leadership positions.

"We don't need just one, we need thousands and thousands," Obama said.

Obama spent eight years in the White House as first lady. The idea of swapping spots with her husband President Barack Obama doesn't appeal to her.

"As an older leader I think an important part of leadership is stepping out of the way and making room," Obama said.

If the Obamas were to trade spots and Michelle decided to run for office, that would limit the country. "We're not finding that new energy out there," she said.

COMMENT:  Of course, most potential candidates say they're not running, and then they answer the overwhelming call of the people, which only they hear.   How can a public servant resist?

President Michelle doesn't sound good to me.  I hope it doesn't sound good to you either.
