While the situation is very fluidic, changing from day to day, and even hour to hour, the plan at the moment seems to be for Michelle Obama to be drafted by the national Democratic convention in August. Hillary is vying for it of course, but she won’t get the call this time – she is damaged goods with way to much “baggage”, and the others are simply to unknown, or lack adequate support, except, of course, Bernie Sanders, but he was never going to get the backing of the “power brokers” – he is an open Communist, and they know that.

Enter Michelle Obama. She is almost custom made for this moment in time (from their point of view). First off, she is Black – which means (again, from their point of view) that she can consolidate an increasingly resistive Black community – she can, in other words, put them back on the plantation and make them feel happy again. Second, she is a woman – or at least that is the illusion that has been presented, and if they can keep her embarrassing erections from being to obvious they can still probably pull that one off. After all, they kept “Berry’s” Kenyan birth hidden, so this should not be all that hard either. And she is more or less charismatic, a reasonably good speaker, and sharp enough to carry the load even in a debate with Trump.

Due to her “gender” and her being “black” they can deflect almost any attack leveled at her by either charging “racism” or “sexual harassment” – and it will likely work. In this ever increasing hostel political climate even modest well reasoned criticism of her would be screamed down as “horrible partisan personal attacks”, etc.

And, it brings the Obama name back to the White House. From their point of view Barrack Obama was one of the greatest presidents of all time. And with Michelle in office it would make him “First Man” and set him loose to do what he really does do well (about the only thing actually) which is give fiery speeches – speeches that are short on meaningful substance, but long on emotional rhetoric.

Lastly, by waiting until the last moment, and having her continually say that she is not interested, they can play the “sympathy card” to it’s fullest. She can “reluctantly” accept this most heavy burden (for the good of the country of course) and the whole world can be held spell-bound by the drama of it all.

Perfect . . . now if we can convince her to stop wearing those tight fitting dresses and getting so excited all the time . . . well, then – we have a winning plan. Right?
