Anyone out there clamoring for a third Obama term?
If you were curious, one talking head has indeed stepped forward — but not for a third Barack Obama term.
In an appearance on “Now With Alex Wagner,” guest Dorian Warren suggested that First Lady Michelle Obama, instead of Elizabeth Warren and a cadre of others, should challenge former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton for the Democratic nomination in 2016.
“I want to start a whisper campaign on your show right now,” Warren, a professor at Columbia University, started. “I think we should draft Michelle Obama to run.”
“Forget running for the Senate like Hillary did, let’s draft the first lady right now,” Warren continued. “She is equally as talented and smart as her husband. I think she would make a great president.”
However, needless to say, the odds of this happening are lower than low, which was confirmed by The Washington Post’s Chris Cillizza.
“Getting involved in politics at some point in the future? I don’t think it’s out of the question,” Cillizza said. “Running for president in 2016? Somewhere — is there a number less than zero?”
“Like negative infinity?!” joked the host Wagner. “I have much respect to the concept, Dorian, because I think a lot of people feel like maybe another person — someone, anyone, Martin O’Malley can you hear us in space, should run.”
