By Florida Bill It is puzzling for me to keep finding pictures of Michelle Obama, and stories heralding her as a potential candidate for President of the United States. That's far-fetched, at the very least.
No less absurd are reports of surveys which find Mrs. Obama and Hillary Clinton as the two most admired women in America. That kind of baloney is seen on CNN and is apparently based upon interviews with about 500 persons hanging around Hollywood.
Detractors view Mrs. Obama as ill-equipped, too outspoken and not very likeable. These critics will be categorized by the raging left wing as "racigynists" (a combination of racist and misogynist.)
Mrs. Obama gave a speech in Utah a few days ago in which she said that the Trump administration is built on "fear," unlike the Obama administration which was built on "hope." She told her fans that she would not be running for President, but I, for one, would not rely on any Obama promise. Remember her husband's "red line" pledge.
Her sole credentials are that she is a Harvard law school graduate and has written a couple of books and has been the First Lady of the United States for eight years. She has never held any office and her main "platform" has been the plight of African Americans whom she contends are held back by racist Caucasians in power.

Personally, I will endorse with enthusiasm women or men for high office so long as they are smart, competent to do the job and endowed with a love of country. Condoleezza Rice, for example, who also is an African American, would be a great candidate. She has held high level positions in and out of government and has handled them with intelligence and finesse and she has pride and respect for the USA. Michelle, who since college has blamed racism for all evils, is no Condi Rice.
Following her husband's election in 2008, the new First Lady told the nation that "for the first time in my adult life, I am really proud of my country because it feels like hope is finally making a comeback." Apparently, she does not pay much attention to history where the bravery and generosity of America as an exceptional nation has brought hope to countless millions of persons in the world.
We are caught up in today's "political correctness" milieu touted by multi millionaire movie stars and dim-witted athletes who promote outrageous anti-American theories and racial controversies. The PC crowd is forever proposing a whole lot of empty suits to take over the big desk in the Oval Office.

This far left bloc, whose enamor with the disingenuous Hillary Clinton went down the drain, has now selected race crusader Michelle Obama as its heroine and savior.
The 53-year-old Obama failed to make much of a mark in eight years. She often has been photographed in various outfits and hair styles, and in her prolific world wide travels and on numerous friendly liberal TV shows, she has spoken out in favor of more nutritious school lunch programs and of the travails of obesity.
Her Methodist family on Chicago's south side initially frowned upon her marriage to Barack Hussein Obama who is the son of a teen age Caucasian mother and an African American Muslim father from Africa. The couple were married in 1992 in Trinity United church in Chicago with Rev. Jeremiah Wright officiating.
Michelle LaVaughn Robinson Obama grew up on Chicago's south side, the daughter of a city water plant worker and democratic precinct captain. Michelle was a salutatorian in a private high school and later graduated from Princeton university and Harvard law school. Scholastically she did well and she maintained throughout schools a concern for the plight of African Americans. Her Princeton thesis was on "Princeton Educated Blacks" and at Harvard she involved herself in activities and demonstrations demanding more Black professors as faculty members.

After graduation from Harvard, she flunked the Illinois bar exam on her first attempt in 1988, but passed it the following year on the retake, and for a brief time worked as an associate at a Chicago law firm, where she met her husband. Later on, with an assist from Valerie Jarrett, she worked for a period in the office of the Chicago mayor and then at the at the University of Chicago. In 1995, she voluntarily surrendered her law license in Illinois, apparently deciding that she preferred public life as the wife of a politician to that of a practicing attorney.
In one of her final interviews as departing First Lady, she was a guest on the Oprah show, but rather than wish the new president well and the best for the nation, she lamented that with Trump as President, Americans could no longer "hope" for a better life.
When Michelle and Sen. Barack entered the White House, they had a combined net worth of about $2 million. When they left eight years later, the ex-president's worth was about $12 million, and Michelle's holdings were estimated at near $11.5 million. I know that President and Mrs. Obama wrote several books, but that kind of financial wizardry has to make you wonder.
The President needs to be a patriot who will guard his or her country against extremists and lawbreakers who seek to destroy the country and its democratic way. Nothing like that ever came from Mrs. Obama. who like her husband declined to denounce "radical Islamic terrorists," for fear of offending peaceful Muslims. Who cares if the President is Black or White so long as he or she believes in America and supports its traditions. Michelle Obama does not fill that bill, and neither did her husband. Mrs Obama belongs in full and perpetual retirement.
