America is misogynistic and racist. This woman has served her time. I hope she lives out her life in peace and happiness.

And, she would make a great President.

But, I don't understand people saying she should run for president. She doesn't have the qualifications.

God forbid what would Michelle get us? Not only black, but a woman. Can you just imagine the outrage? Of course it is ridiculous, but those idiots are ridiculous

Just because she was married to a President does not mean she would be willing or even qualified to run.

I'm reminded of all those who thought Caroline Kennedy would make a wonderful Senator until she actually tried to run, and it was a disaster. Same with those who daydream about Chelsea Clinton running for something. Really? Just because someone you're related to was a successful politician, does NOT mean you'd be one.

Honestly.
