Michelle said publicly, about a month ago, that she would definitely NOT accept the nomination. Maybe it was just posturing.

Michelle said publicly, about a month ago, that she would definitely NOT accept the nomination. Maybe it was just posturing. But my immediate reaction was that powerful people must have political dirt on her (or hubby). Or maybe she was bought off - didn’t she and hubby recently buy a $12 million+ seaside mansion? If she was going to successfully run for President, she should have started well before now, right?
This reminds me, the Vigilant Fox had a hilarious piece on his Substack a few months ago. He ran video clips of several politicians - John Kerry, Barack Obama, etc. - each giving a speech about the very dangerous, imminent rising sea levels due to climate change - and next to each clip he showed a picture of the mansion each politician had recently bought - all of them by the sea, AT SEA LEVEL. Who spends millions on a mansion that is soon to be ten feet under water? He included enough sale documentation to prove that they were real transactions. Amazing!
Presumably, no one who wants to be President starts off by saying they don't want to be President.
However, one way to overcome the lack of campaigning and other hurdles presented by entering the fray at the last minute is to have one's candidacy develop as part of a "draft" movement. Michelle Obama could, in theory, strike a pose today of "I don't want to be President" and say without hypocrisy tomorrow that "I will run for President because my country is calling on me to do so."
Does this mean that Michelle WILL run? No. It does mean that we should not take anything Michelle Obama says on the topic in isolation. It's not just what she says, it's what she does, and it's what people do around her that are going to tell the tale.

Yes, posturing. Maybe she was holding out for better terms. We’ll see. (Nightmares!)
