“Well her nutrition program”
Her Garden at the W.H. I’m sorry but I cannot envision Michelle behind a Tiller and Hoe, or Laying Out and Placing Timbers for an Above Ground Garden, Filling them with Top Soil, Planting, Watering The Garden, Pulling Weeds, or Harvesting without it being for a Photo Op.
I would like to know how much “Her Garden” cost us in Tax Payer Dollars.
You have a good point.
If she simply put her name on the ballot, she could win the Dem nomination without saying a single word. She could LITERALLY stand up, wave her hands a smile, laugh and kiss babies, and she'd get more votes than you could shake a stick at.
Then, onto the Presidential race, where again, she could stand up and wave and laugh and kiss babies, and without saying a single word about what her position or stance on policy or economic matters is, and she'd beat ANYONE the Republicans put up against her.
Talk about a puppet. If the Democratic Party does that, it'll say A LOT about what they think of her. She'd be a puppet, fully & completely controlled by the hard-line Dem policy-makers.
All of that said, this is all conjecture and fantasy, and won't happen, so it's moot.
But hey if your "cool" you can win. She can talk about how she hangs with Jay-Z and Beyonce and on that alone she gets votes. Couple that with being the 1st woman President, 1st Black President. She could win without really saying 1 word.
Well her nutrition program *****, so she may be a good person, but don't see her as a policy person.
Nothing against Michelle Obama, really.
I think she's a GREAT speaker, and an EXTREMELY intelligent woman. Hell, I'll even go so far as to say that I think she just might be the best first-lady we've had in the WH since Lady Bird Johnson (and that's saying something, as I personally feel that Lady Bird was an AMAZING woman).
M.O., although a phenomenal speaker, highly intelligent and incredibly sharp... sorry, she's just not qualified to be the President of the United States. Speaking well and being smart, doesn't make a shoe-in to the WH.
Not trying to take anything away from her, as I've said, I have great respect for her as a person and a First Lady, but Presidential material she is not.
If she was to say, run for Senate, spend 5-10 years there, show us a little bit about what SHE stands for (apart from her husband... let her stand on her own), prove herself to her constituents, get some sort of voting/positional track-record established (so that people know what SHE stands for), THEN maybe throw your hat into the Presidential arena.
Honestly, I think she might actually make a really GOOD President, but I'd like to see a lot more qualifications & experience, before I'd even consider throwing a 'thumbs up' behind her run for President.
That said, I'd probably still not vote for her, unless I believed in what she stood for, but I'd be behind her run for the WH.
Anyone?
Big question is, was she at least a Community Organizer?
Why not? Because she's not qualified.
I guess she's no less qualified than her husband was in 2008...
That said, I have a modicum of respect for Michelle Obama, but when a section is titled "She has the skills." and only discusses her public speaking skills... I'll just say I'm not convinced.
I know there's quite a media circus surrounding the presidency & WH, but surely the job takes a lot more than that.
If she runs, and gets elected, make no mistake... it'll only be because she's, A) a woman, B) black, C) has name-recognition
It'll have ZERO to do with how qualified she is or isn't. Never before has a man so unqualified been put in the oval office, so at this point, I won't put anything past the American voting public!
