After the hardwatching staff saw Michelle Obama’s set-up video and speech at the Democratic National Convention last night, we had one overwhelming thought:
This thoroughly dynamic woman will be president of the United States someday.
Not in 2016, though.
For one thing, the nation will need sort of an Obama sorbet after Barack’s presidency (even if it’s just one term).
For another, an Obama can’t ace out Hillary Rodham Clinton a second time. It’s just not seemly.
So Clinton will run in 2016 (or not) – but either way, she won’t be president, because she’s more impressive than inspirational.
That leaves 2020 wide open for Michelle.
See you then for bragging rights.
Seems like a safe bet. She has the Oprah-like dynamism needed.
Yeah, you were the only person thinking that last night.
Yeah – but did the others WRITE it?

Well, that didn’t work. Screen shot of Twitter from last night. “Michelle 2016″ going around. It’s still a good thought, though, so you get an A-.
