Wrong Obama. They are talking about Michelle, not Barack.

We need to stop this whole Michelle running for president thing in all forms. All indicators are that she would never want the job. And all this does is feed the conservatives like Ben Shapiro who keep mentioning it. And they need to stop mentioning it. It's a distraction. She has never indicated she wants the job or to be second in line for the job.
