'She doesn’t want the job': Valerie Jarrett says no chance Michelle Obama will be Biden's running mate

One of former President Barack Obama’s advisers poured cold water on the possibility that Michelle Obama could be presumptive Democratic nominee Joe Biden’s running mate.

Jarrett, who is a close friend of the Obama family, told the Hill on Tuesday that the former first lady has no political aspirations.

“The reason why I'm being so unequivocal is that there just simply has never been a time when she's expressed an interest in running for office,” Jarrett said. “She’s not demurring here. She’s not being hard to get. She doesn’t want the job.”


Biden, 76, has vowed to choose a woman for the No. 2 spot on this year’s presidential ticket, which has spurred speculation about who he will choose. Biden has said he would take Michelle Obama “in a heartbeat,” but Jarrett said those remarks don’t matter.

“Of course, he would take her. That’s not the question,” she explained. “The question is, is this the way in which she wants to continue her life of service?”

“There is a difference between being a public servant and being a politician, and she has no interest in being a politician,” Jarrett continued. “Her husband was interested in being both. She’s only interested in...

Life of service. Now that is friggin funny. Or it would be, if I didn't remember those 8 long years of bullshit.

What's that saying? Never believe anything until it has been officially denied?

Let's just nip one thing in the bud right here: I've heard some speculation that goes like so: Biden picks Michelle (Michael?) Obama for VP. Then he wins. Immediately after the inauguration he is determined to be "Unable to discharge the duties of his office" under the auspices of the 25th Amendment, and is ousted. Michelle becomes President, and appoints Barack as VP. Then SHE resigns and Barack is President again. (*Whew*, what a load of convoluted nonsense.) This can't happen because Barack is not eligible to be POTUS under the 22nd Amendment, and if you can't be POTUS, you can't be VPOTUS. So if you see this nonsense out there on the interwebz, stomp it down like it deserves to be.

If you'll forgive me, I think that's optimistic.

Moo-chelle becomes President after Creepy Joe is removed - whether by 25th Amendment of feet-first - and appoints Barackus as her VP. Then she resigns. Barackus is once again President.

That would need to be challenged in court. Yes, unconstitutional. But a fait accompli.

Biden cannot withstand the campaign. I have no idea how this plays out but I simply do not see how Obiden is the candidate on Election Day.

Hillary will be VP.
She'll let Joe live, if he agrees to keep on going down the rabbit hole, which I doubt that he can stop, anyway.
By that time, he'll be too ill to stand trial for Ukraine/China shenanigans.
Her VP?
Don't know.

Jarrett doesn't want the Obama brand stained by a 2020 loss. That way Michelle will be ready for 2024.

Michelle has never had any interest in holding a real job of any kind. Running for office is way too much work for her. She can already live like a queen without doing it.
