Michelle Obama is one of the coolest first ladyās to ever step foot in the white house, and itās no surprise at how many people love and admire her. Obama has been an advocate for so many things such as ending childhood obesity along with speaking out against racism and sexual assault. The former first lady has done so much for this country, and itās gotten many (including myself) hoping that she runs for president in 2020.
For months there have been rumors swirling around about the possibility of her and Oprah Winfrey running in this upcoming election and even though the two have shut down the possibility the rumors continued. As much as we would love to keep hope alive itās looking like another Obama in the White House isnāt going to happen anytime soon.
Last Thursday Michelle spoke at the 39th Annual Simmons Leadership Conference, and when asked about possibly running she said, “The reason why I donāt want to run for presidentāand I canāt speak for Oprahābut my sense is that, first of all, you have to want the job.ā She then goes on to saying that in order to be president you have to want the job and you have to have a passion for politics. “I’ve never had the passion for politics,” Obama said. “I just happened to be married to somebody who has the passion for politics, and he drug me kicking and screaming into this arena.”
So sadly we wonāt get the Obamas back, but we do respect her honesty, and hopefully, weāll get another president whoās like her in the near future.
