Upon hearing the notion that Michelle Obama may be the presidential candidate for Democrats in 2024, many Republicans reflexively recite the mantra that she is enjoying her life and is not political.  Let me make one thing clear: Michelle Obama is a political animal.  Republicans must quickly begin to prepare for her candidacy.

‘); googletag.cmd.push(function () { googletag.display(‘div-gpt-ad-1609268089992-0’); }); document.write(”); googletag.cmd.push(function() { googletag.pubads().addEventListener(‘slotRenderEnded’, function(event) { if (event.slot.getSlotElementId() == “div-hre-Americanthinker—New-3028”) { googletag.display(“div-hre-Americanthinker—New-3028”); } }); }); }

Michelle grew up as the daughter of a Chicago Democrat party precinct captain.  She has written about making the rounds with her father from age 4, visiting homes in her area to get out the black vote for the white liberal Chicago Democrat party machine.  Michelle has also noted that people came to her house seeking money from her father, Fraser Robinson.  In high school, Michelle was elected repeatedly to the student council and was class treasurer.  Michelle befriended Santita Jackson, the daughter of Jesse Jackson, and has said, “I grew up in that man’s house.”  Yes, Michelle spent much time at Jesse Jackson’s house while he was preparing to run for president.  “I’ve seen it all,” Michelle said of the experience.

At Princeton University, Michelle was elected to the board of the Third World Center, a radical black activist fraternity.  Michelle and Barack had a mutual professor at Harvard, though in different years, named Charles Ogletree.  When Barack was elected president, Ogletree told TMZ that between Barack and Michelle, he would have thought Michelle more likely to run for president.

In Chicago, Michelle befriended another political animal, the former head of the Weather Underground domestic terrorist group and accused cop-killer Bernardine Dohrn.  Michelle worked with her for two years at the Sidley Austin law firm and had dinners at her home with Bill Ayers for years, right up until the time Barack ran for U.S. Senate in 2004.  Dohrn was Michelle’s first guest speaker at Public Allies, the community organizing group she ran.  Yes, like Barack, Michelle was also a community organizer for three years.  In marrying a politician, she married her father.

‘); googletag.cmd.push(function () { googletag.display(‘div-gpt-ad-1609270365559-0’); }); document.write(”); googletag.cmd.push(function() { googletag.pubads().addEventListener(‘slotRenderEnded’, function(event) { if (event.slot.getSlotElementId() == “div-hre-Americanthinker—New-3035”) { googletag.display(“div-hre-Americanthinker—New-3035”); } }); }); }

On the 2008 campaign trail, Michelle spoke to huge adoring crowds across the country, trumpeting word for word the anti-American rhetoric she’d learned from Dohrn.  The media largely ignored the nastiness until Michelle proclaimed, upon Barack winning a primary, “For the first time in my life, I’m proud of my country.”  This earned Michelle a Republican and media backlash.  The next day, she hired a speechwriter and declared, “I hate politics.  I just want to be the mom in chief.”  This earned Michelle an immediate respite and reshaped Michelle’s public persona from a highly political anti-American radical into a mom who hates politics.

To a degree, Michelle was being truthful.  All politicians hate politics — it’s grueling and annoying — but they put up with it because they love power.

With this context, you can understand why I researched Michelle Obama’s true life history and published the film and book of the same name, Michelle Obama 2024: Her Real Life Story and Plan for Power.  Seeing Joe Biden’s advanced age, immense unpopularity, and terrible polls, Democrat party leaders such as Barack Obama and David Axelrod have observed that Biden is likely going to lose to Trump.  In the wings, however, waits the very political Michelle Obama.  Lucky for us, she let it all hang out when she tweeted a two-part statement on January 7, 2021, one day after “January 6.”  Interestingly, on the day following this statement, the tech companies did what Michelle asked them to do: ban Donald Trump from social media.  

Michelle’s January 7 Twitter manifesto deserves to be read in full.  Can there be any doubt that Michelle Obama is a political animal who has her sights on the White House in 2024?

Michelle Obama, January 7, 2021:

I woke up yesterday elated by the news of Reverend Raphael Warnock’s election victory. He’ll be Georgia’s first Black senator, and I was heartened by the idea that the Senior Pastor of Ebenezer Baptist Church—the home parish of Dr. King and a spiritual and organizational hub during the Civil Rights Movement—would be representing his state in the United States Senate.
