Michelle Obama Gunning For Senate Seat First Lady Michelle Obama has been very vocal about her opinions lately, and some wonder whether she is gearing up to run for office herself. In a recent article from Western Journalism, an author claims that Michelles actions parallel Hillarys actions throughout her political career. This has led to speculation that Michelle may be planning to follow Hillarys path to office as well. Her unparalleledand incredibly unpopularmission to turn schools into her own nutritional laboratories is widely seen as evidence that she is more interested in furthering her own agenda than looking out for the welfare of the next generation, the author writes. The reporter continues on to comment that if Michelle does indeed run, it would most likely be in her home state of Illinois, where she would be up against Republican Mark Kirk. Michelles intentions have been called into question ever since she subconsciously made a statement about Obama taking office in 2008 during a fundraiser. During the fundraiser she claimed that many were there when Barack and I took officeor I took office alongsideor he took office and I was there. Additionally, the author claims that Michelles active fundraising schedule would give her a valuable leg up in securing donations for a potential Senate run. All seems to imply that Michelle may be looking to run for Senate soon. What do you think? Would you approve of Michelle as a Senator?
