You knew it was coming — an organized effort to push Michelle Obama as Biden’s vice presidential pick.
A new committee called “Draft Michelle Obama” filed with the FEC last month.
Biden has said on several occasions that he would be willing to pick Obama for the spot.
The committee, which filed with the Federal Election Commission on April 26, said its goal is to show Obama how many people want her to accept Biden’s informal request for her to serve.
From the committee’s official release:
Joe Biden has said he would choose Michelle Obama as his running mate “in a heartbeat.” The aim of this campaign is to build on the substantial grassroots support for a potential Michelle Obama candidacy and help garner media attention for a vice presidential nominee who has the power to beat Donald Trump.
The Committee to Draft Michelle Obama firmly believes that Ms. Obama will not only benefit the Democratic ticket this November but also help lead this country to be more just and caring. However strongly we support Ms. Obama as Vice President Biden’s running mate, we will transfer our resolve to whoever joins the ticket to defeat the most dangerous incumbent in the history of our
nation.With a historic battle to reclaim the soul of America looming this November and the peril caused by the Coronavirus Pandemic, it remains in the best interest of the Democratic Party to nominate a vice-presidential candidate who has the trust of the American people, a vision to lead our nation forward and empathy for the challenges faced by all Americans.
Ms. Obama, the most admired woman in America, will be a vital asset this November, when Vice President Biden will face an uphill battle to combat the lies and deceit emanating from the White House. Her credibility as a trusted leader and a strong symbol of unity within the Democratic Party would certainly help Democrats defeat Republicans up and down the ballot.
The mere fact that Democrats are still toying with an Obama assist is proof they’re concerned about Biden as the presumptive nominee.
Last month, Professor Jacobson blogged:
Got that? Michelle as VP nominee as a stealth way for the Obamas to regain control of the White House.
It’s a lot less work for Michelle than running for president herself. The TV networks would give her adoring coverage, the major newspapers would swoon, Hollywood and the entertainment industry would go to bat for her. Basically, just put Michelle on the ticket, watch Joe fade, then take over. All she would have to do is show up to save Joe.
I’m not predicting that will happen, but let’s face it, the fact that there still is chatter among Democrats about Michelle saving the party shows how fundamentally weak Biden is as a candidate.

Please, I just had supper!!
I know.. the good Professor has been saying this for a long time.
Michelle for President, I mean Vice President until Joe dies or is Amendment 25ed.
Just reading this is going to give me a bad case of night terrors. Can’t decide if “it” is a succubus or an incubus, either way will be afraid to fall asleep for days. God Help us if this actually comes to pass.
If Joey fingers picks the Mooch, and if they are elected, I’ll give Joe 3 months tops before he falls out of an airplane.
We already tried a lazy, useless, fraudulent, unqualified black person. Didn’t work.
So, here we go.
Exactly as predicted.
Com’n, Joe, do it.
Our nation turns its lonely eyes to you.
Only you can deliver to us another AA incompetent with deadly designs on the entire under philosophical basis of the country. Lets kill the grand experiment off permanently. It really was a stupid idea. Imagine, limiting government for the purpose of maximizing individual freedom.
““A republic, if you can keep it”
Aunt Jemima doesn’t want the job. SHes said as much several times and you opinion means nothing to the elite (insert expletive)
Well to be honest its not like she would actually be doing anything as VP anyway. She would be doing the same amount of work that her husband did when he was President. Sweet…fuck…all.
I think she will run because of the vanity, look at me aspect and not because she believes in saving America.
“Aunt Jemima”. Nice, Cracker.
So, does Michele have the star power to bring out the Black vote?
That’s the real question here. If she does,Sleepy Joe has a real shot at the election.
The Electorate is always split firmly about 45% D and 45% R and that remaining swing 10% decides elections.
The Corona Virus attacks will cost Trump a few percent of that 10% and if Michelle can pull an extra few percent, things might get very close.
Further, I don’t know how one attacks Michelle Obama. She’s a Black Woman with zero record to criticize. Thus, she is pretty much in a position where any comment about her can be spun as anti-feminist or racist.
The only way to counter that would be to make the debates about substance and show her lack of relevant knowledge. However, the Democrats seem to control the debate process.
So: Be afraid – be very afraid.
She’s got tons of records – all bad.
She’s a Black Woman with zero record to criticize.
She has a record. It was spelled “school lunches”, but pronounced “child abuse”.
Landslide in November.
She won’t go for it anyway. Running as VP would be a yuuugge demotion. Even if she ended up in the Oval Office, she would have been elected as a lowly VP. No way.
This will make her even prouder of her country!
more like the “Draft Michael Obama in Drag” committee.
just what we need: a historic first ever tranny VP.
😛
Too late – Barrack already was…….
But even Michelle understands that whoever Joe picks for the VP, is really running for president, since he can’t handle the job.
And, her husband’s performance notwithstanding, the POTUS has to actually do a little work sometimes. I think that prospect will terrify her into taking a long vacation, far, far away.
I hope you’re right.
Irv is right considering work is an unknown experience to Michelle.
Whoever Joe picks for the VP is not necessarily running for president, because the DNC can replace him at the top of the ticket without promoting his #2, and I expect it to do so. On the other hand I expect whoever is nominated for VP at the convention to keep that nomination; I expect the replacement #1 will not be given their own choice of running mate.
If Bite Me picks Michelle O prior to convention, you can bet that the DNC will certainly make her the lead candidate should Joe e removed or unable to run for the top slot. Depends on polls at the time of the convention, but you heard it here first.
Honestly, did anyone NOT see this coming months ago? Biden gets elected through unprecentedly MASSIVE dem cheating (mail-in votes, anyone?). Then the dems “25th Amendment” him and Moochelle becomes president. Which means it’s the second reign of that son of a bitch Obama. And his husband.
The fallback if Moochelle is not Biden’s VP is to do the same, but with Hillary Clinton. I think you can see where this is going…
That scenario also carries extremely high odds of Michelle being Arkancided by some former 1st lady of Arkansas methinks.
They will not “25th-amendment” him, unless they have to because they left it too long and he’s already president, and is now in a coma or a straitjacket and therefore unable to resign. That’s what the 25th is for. (That and the case of a much-loved but gaga president, who refuses to resign but whom the Congress doesn’t want to subject to the indignity of impeachment.)
I think they will replace him before he can be elected president in the first place, which happens on Dec 14 (if he wins in November). They’ll do it, depending on the polls, either in late October or else after the November election. But that depends on his holding out that long. The main thing, from their POV, is that he has to hold on until after the convention, so that his replacement is in their hands.
At no point did I state, nor did I intend to imply that any kind of hypothetical “25th amendmenting” would occur prior to Biden being inaugurated. I believe if the democrats are going to stick with Biden (and I think they’ll do that and milk the idea of him being the answer to Trump until he’s shooting dust), they’ll also go through the charade of giving him his “coronation”, followed by a rapid and tragic decline of our leader and savior Uncle Joe. At a time when so many will no doubt be in deep despair over Uncle Joe, it sure will be good luck for us lost souls that he was brilliant enough to name Mrs. Obama/Mrs. Clinton as his VP. I can practically taste that bullshit from here. But hey, that’s just me.
Even if they let him be inaugurated, they still won’t “25th amendment” him, they’ll just prevail on him to resign. The 25th only comes into effect in two cases: (1) The president would resign but is unable to; (2) the president insists he can still function but can’t, and Congress respects him too much to subject him to the indignity of impeachment. (Remember, removing an unwilling president through the 25th amendment is harder than doing so through impeachment.)
But I don’t see them leaving it in his hands. Nor do I see them letting his chosen running mate succeed, unless he happens to pick their chosen replacement anyway.
ANOTHER unaccomplished racist slob in our highest office.
Just what we need.
We paid for enough of her long, far away vacations with the girls, and her mother, and her mother’s entourage…..
They have different birthdays apparently, but am I the only one who thinks these two, michelle o and her brother Craig Robinson appear to be identical twins? And for anyone wanting to play any race cards at me, trust me, that would be barking up the wrong tree. Watch and let me know what you think…

Were Biden to make this selection and Mrs. Obama to sign on it would make Trumps re-election very difficult. Many women and an equal number of beta males would line up to support it, praying Joe steps aside after the election thereby making Mrs. Obama the first female POTUS. Mrs. Obama would be a huge hit in the black community making it even tougher for Trump to chip away the black vote.
Thing is, I don’t know if Mrs. Obama would be interested. In eight years she didn’t present herself as deeply passionate on any issue that wasn’t based on race or gender. I guess will see but I’ll admit, I hope she isn’t the VP pick.
Plus from reports the Obamas have not really been together as a married couple since their White House gravy train ended.
That didn’t stop the Clintons. For such a prize they’d get back together.
As would the Clintons.
Mr. Obama wouldn’t last ten seconds in a debate.
I wonder if she’ll be proud of the country again if she gets elected?
Once again, IMO, Michelle Obama will drink from the poisoned chalice.
If she is offered the VP slot and if she accepts;
1. She has, based on the descent of Biden’s health and mental acuity, a good shot at assuming the office of President.
2. But, she and Biden have to get elected first and that isn’t close to certain.
3. Biden is a very weak candidate. He is totally dependent on the turnout of ambivalent d voters and he isn’t exactly packing folks into his rallies. He isn’t capable of inspiring folks to vote for him.
4. M. Obama, will become the focus of the election. She will be subjected to the scrutiny that is normally reserved for the nominee.
5. She will be in a VP debate with Pence not PDJT. The differences in personality and tone are tremendous. She can’t simply say ‘Trump bad’, Pence will kill her with kindness.
6. Biden will have to adopt or defend every Obama administration policy, he won’t be able to distance with M Obama on the ticket.
7. M Obama likewise. It isn’t as if she can say ‘that was my Husband not me.’ The obvious retort is ‘many say you are the vp nominee only because of your husband so how do you reconcile that?’
Could Biden offer and M Obama accept? Sure.
Could they win? Maybe.
The risk is high. She is reliant upon Joe to get her to the WH. Why not wait till 2024 when, Joe ain’t going to be capable of running and she can be at the top of the ticket? Who would be her competition for the d nomination in 2024?
Failed VP nominee don’t usually get another opportunity. That is too high a risk to run. Plus she moves from the media safe zone of a family member directly into the full contact zone.
For all these reasons, IMO, she will wait for her own opportunity vs being tied to Joe Biden in a likely failed bid.
CommooChief;
When you wrote, “4. M. Obama, will become the focus of the election. She will be subjected to the scrutiny that is normally reserved for the nominee.” You were not being serious were you? Hell her husband wasn’t subjected to a smidgen of scrutiny.
Yeah I’m serious. M. Obama will be surrendering her ‘innocent bystander don’t bring the family into politics’ card. In return she gets all the flack, all the shots cheap and otherwise that are fair game for every candidate.
No I don’t expect that the MSM will be interested in doing much beyond their normal role of water carrying for the d.
Fortunately, the MSM is no longer the only game in town. Alternatives exist. Those alternatives can and do create enough buzz around issues/stories that some more moderate/conservative media outlets pickup. Once into the conversation the MSM then is forced to ‘report’ on the issue even if only in a pro forma manner at the bottom of page five, simply to get it out of the way as an issue. If it has legs it continues to play out, if not it does down.
As far as scrutiny for former President Obama, I seem to recall a bunch of well documented mass public protests; Tea Party movement. So scrutiny isn’t confined to the MSM. Scrutiny can come from everyday folks forcing issues to be addressed.
Flacks she has an abundance of. I think you meant flak.
Indeed I did. Stupid auto correct. I swear it changes words on it’s own, like someone with dyslexia might reorder a sentence and substitute it’s own word choice.
Moooochelle wont be subjected to anything. The Democrat media will make sure of that.
The Power of “O” raised to “The One” power. This is a done deal and many will pull the lever for Biden/Obama knowing they are “making history” (please see “Oracle of Delphi) by electing both the first womyn VP and President-in-Waiting. They get to return to the glory days of “The One”. It is too intoxicating … double minority, affirmative action on display… no need to remember what she did(n’t) do in Chicago to get advanced. The World will approve, especially as we “heal” our troubled relationship with China and WHO. Biden will stay on the ticket and everyone will make believe they are voting for him. There will be a tearful transition as Biden belatedly must step aside for acute reasons and MO will take on the task of steering the country into the final transition to a just nation (again refer to Oracle of Delphi). Rest in Peace Ben Franklin.. it was good while it lasted.
Who are these people kidding? Michelle and Barack pillaged millions of taxpayer dollars to live in luxury…
She doesn’t have the WORK ETHIC to be potus or vp.
She did a crappy job as flotus – how many millions did she spend taking her entourage on multiple vacations for 8 years?!
M. and B. Obama are GRIFTERS… He appeared to have a bit more gumption/effort to play potus while his minions implemented marxist policies… even he got bored and played lots of lots of golf hanging out with ‘Reggie Love’ or someone…
MICHELLE WILL NOT DO IT… she’s have too much fun getting adulation and taxpayer freebies to do actual WORK.
IMO of course…
We’re already getting a taste of her dietary plan.
If this clown is put up for VP, it will a LOT of fun.
Re: Biden’s replacement.
I’ve been predicting for more than three years that Michelle would throw her hat in the ring at the last minute, but a horrible thought just occurred to me. The Dems have a perfect last-minute replacement for Biden waiting in the wings — Fauci.
Tell me why this would not work for them. Why would they not, round about Oct 20, have Biden break down and announce that he can no longer do it, and have Fauci, who is becoming more popular each day, “reluctantly” step in as a uniter, someone who can rally the nation’s spirit and defeat the Orange Monster? Wouldn’t he be in the perfect position to attack Trump? Yes, he’s two years older than Biden, but he’s obviously with it, and Trump’s no spring chicken either.
So tell me why I should not fear this.
Nobody will ever catch me saying “never,” but the idea is so far “out there” I don’t think it’s even slightly possible. Why would Fauci be interested? From what I’ve seen of him in the pressers, he wouldn’t want to leave his present job – the medical geek’s paradise.
.
I assume he’s a committed Democrat, and that while thankfully he maintains a professional manner with the President, he would like to see him defeated. So if the DNC approached him he would take it. Besides which, what prominent person wouldn’t want to be president if it were dropped in their lap like that? And Fauci strikes me as someone who would very much like to be in control and be able to force people to live healthier lives, for their own good.
Cf Leslie Fish’s “Health Nazi”.
Fauci was born in 1940. Yes, he seems in good health, but an 80 year old? Not gonna happen.
He’s only 2 years older than Biden, and still has all his marbles.
Political rhetoric:
“… to defeat the most dangerous incumbent in the history of our nation
…
Ms. Obama, the most admired woman in America”
LOL. Over-the-top and unsubstantiated, as usual with the Dems.
Hear hear!!!!!!!!!
All – I said ALL – those polls and stories about being “most” anything are ALL FAKE.
Just like Hillary had 95 % chance to win right up until the very election day.
They have to have someone in there to save the pack of them from going to Prison.
Barak will take care of that.
Running Michelle guarantees they all get in prison all the quicker.
Let’s be honest, this woman is mediocre at best and below average most likely. Her college days were below average but she has had eight years to learn the proper fork and knife to use at a state banquet. She was never part of the decision making by her husband, who was the smartest person in the room. That was easy when you consider who he had in his room! Ben Rhodes, Susan Rice, Brennan, Comey, Plouf, Holder, Clapper. They were all ego stupid and Michelle was not even allowed in. What does that say about her experience? Can you imagine her responses in a debate about anything? Maybe she would kill a good spinach question concerning a high school cafeteria menu.
I thought Biden wanted a woman for a running mate.
You win the Intertubes for the day!!!!!!!!!!
It is clear that if Biden wins somehow then Biden does not last a month as President since he is not mentally or physically capable of being President as the last few months have clearly shown. And so, whoever is VP will be President in the first year. It seems a lot of people are making the mistake that if Michelle Obama is forced to be VP then she would have to do actual work when it is quite clear that Michelle would be the first cardboard puppet on a string “President” since we all know that the real shadow President would be Barack Insane 0bama, Valerie Jarret, and her handlers that would be the real power making all of the decisions. All puppet Michelle would have to do is show up for pictures and read speeches written by others and play the “President” for a few minutes each day. Michelle gets all of the attention without having to do any real work. It is a big win-win for Michelle. The media would never question Michelle about this since it would be “racist” to even consider such a notion that Michelle is a do nothing cardboard puppet.
Democraps would say that a vote for Michelle is a vote for Barrack Insane Obama 3rd term.
Yes, all that is pretty obvious. The whole idea is that she would leave the actual presidenting to her husband, which really means to Jarrett.
Milhouse,
You are giving me nightmares with this Machiavellian musing. Jarrett running the nation again…no no no, please stop. That is really too much for me to contemplate.
This is going to be good, get the popcorn. Michelle has less experience than Hillary did after Bill’s run. Hillary had to Carpet bag her way into NY as Senator and still she needed more. Neither one is a decent American, one hates America the other Traitor. Hillary after loosing to Obama and then losing to Trump after she pulled every lever will never allow Michelle to Waltz in. Oh no, she will work her magic while Obama works his.
“Michelle has less experience than Hillary did after Bill’s run.”
It took the Democrat Party to declare that excellent preparation for the presidency was sleeping with an occupant of the Oval Office. If Bill would not have spilled his seed on her dress, we’d be hearing about a potential Monica candidacy.
The V.P. pick needs to compliment the Prez candidate by balancing out the skills and personalities. In addition the pick has to bring in important vote in important places along with money. The V.P. cannot overshadow his or her running mate.
.
Biden checked off all the boxes. Especially the last one. BO was an outsider from Chicago. Biden was the consimate East Coast insider. Biden knew how to get big money. Biden had international experience.
.
Moochelle would not be a good running mate. She brings tons of money and the black votes, sure, but the election would be about her and that would not be good for Biden’s ego. She would be the one on every TV show every week and on every magazine cover and the one the cameras follow everywhere. She would also require that her team ValJar runs the show. I don’t think they were well liked in Washington.
.
In addition, the Obamas are wealthy beyond belief. They were among the laziest first family ever. They like golfing and vacationing too much. You’ll notice that they don’t really even have any pet projects in retirement other than making money for themselves.
.
Yes, she could avoid the heavy lifting as a V.P. candidate. She wouldn’t get the scrutiny. She wouldn’t have to debate anybody and show her true stripes. She wouldn’t have to take any positions that might be uncomfortable or difficult. She would never have to explain herself.
.
If she is the V.P. pick, I would look for an October surprise where Biden drops from the ticket and they run Moochelle. The debates are over. It’s down to four weeks of packed stadiums and wall to wall in Michelle for president ads that were conveniently already produced. The question would be – Who would be her running mate? You only get one guess.
DanJ1: You’ll notice that they don’t really even have any pet projects in retirement other than making money for themselves.
Since retirement, the Obamas have established a charitable foundation, and founded an Academy Award winning movie production company, Higher Ground Productions.
Surely… you jest. The award was in the same catagory as the Nobel Prize awarded to BO. These awards are gifts from the Left. Not the first time nor last. As for foundations… big whoop.
alaskabob: Surely… you jest.
Running a foundation, and establishing a movie company certainly qualify as “pet projects,” even if the latter is a money-making venture.
Moochelle has never worked a day in her life, why start now?
As professor Jacobson did in his post comparing the call for Biden’s records to the call for Palin’s records, one could here compare this “draft” movement to the similar “Draft Sarah Palin for VP” movement of 2008.
That website is now preserved in the Library of Congress archives: https://www.loc.gov/item/lcwaN0002669/.
Team Moloch can get itself out of the beartrap Senile Joe has put them in. All they need do is remove the Senile One for another Professional Molochian Politician. Andy ‘Altar Boy’ Cuomo fits the bill. Once selected, they don’t need to select a woman (or a not-even-close-trans-woman like Mike Obama). Gavin ‘Plastic Hair’ Newsome would ensure both Coastal Elites would come into play.
I truly don’t think Mike Obama wants to put himself in the spotlight as his disguise will be revealed. Of course, this may well bring out the 1/10th of 1% of the American Public.
Just what we need, a flaming tranny in the number two position in the U.S., just waiting for his chance to continue the destruction of our country his partner championed.
No more Bush’s,Clinton’s or Obowelmovements.
The seditious gay Kenyan commie wants her to become head honcho just so he will no longer be the worst president in history.
Wilson and possibly Buchanan were worse.
Carter had it in the bag until Obowelmovement came along and kicked him back to second place.
