Everyone knows this.
If your director of communications says you "will not be running for President," you've conspicuously failed to say the magic words.
This is especially true if there's no occasion for running for the nomination because the incumbent President is in your party and he's running, but the delegates he's collecting in the primaries may, at the time of the convention, be free to nominate somebody else, somebody who hasn't run for President but who may accept the nomination if it is handed to her and may, if elected, deign to serve.

I'd say intentional but for Democrats it's so much more glorious to reneg on your promises...
Darn it. Not fair. Now I won't get a chance to use this. Sucks. Michelle "Big Mike" Camacho should've run, she would've had what plants like Joe "The Molesting Vegetable" Biden craves!
Her as president is my worst political nightmare. I would seriously consider making aliyah.
I guess now there will be an Obamanesque statement after she is not the nominee because she said she is not running.
Don't forget that Julius Caesar refused the crown three times...before he finally accepted it.
Michelle can't run. We caught out her lies about the depth of the Obamas' (non-sexual) deeply intimate decade-plus, daily or nearly daily relationship with domestic terrorists Bill Ayers and Bernardine Dohrn and the real record of the murders and rapes and attempted mass murders Ayers and Dohrn actually committed and the Obamas certainly knew about.
And the names of the many who ran cover for them at the highest levels of academia and the MSM.
This time, we have the proof. Join us in Chicago at the convention to expose it though, just in case. I'm getting the protest permits. We'll be there lawfully.
Michelle is having too much fun being a celebrity to want a crappy job like President of the United States.
You have to say "If drafted, I will not run; if nominated, I will not accept; if elected, I will not serve."
And people who make their living from politics aren’t going to make this statement or mean it so why bother about it?
Running is active. Accepting is passive.
The first black woman POTUS and a third Obama administration. It's hers for the taking. If she refuses, she has a will of iron.
Michelle Obama would be comedy gold.

"FBI Hunts Iranian Agent Plotting to Kill [Donald Trump]
An Iranian intelligence officer is wanted in connection with planning to assassinate former and current U.S. officials in revenge for the 2020 killing of Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps-Quds Force Cmdr. Qassem Soleimani, ... two years ago Iranian President Ebrahim Raisi blamed former President Donald Trump and former Secretary of State Mike Pompeo for Soleimani's killing and threatened that Muslims will take out martyr's revenge against them, Newsweek reported...

If she's tapped at DNC convention, she'll run, but only if she doesn't have to actually campaign. Surrogates must do all the legwork.
FYI, for what it's worth, she's unqualified to serve, if that even mattered.
"not be running"
But will be available for Coronation by acclamation..
Hope springs eternal.
Salvation fantasies. The Coming of the Spouse of the One who turned back G.W. Bush's evil.
Christianity is generally seen as a conservative ideology today, but literally everything Democrats have done since Obama 2008 is remixed Christianity. Be green, save the planet (create heaven here on earth). Bow down to the BLM martyrs (i.e., in the Capitol, post George Floyd). Sacrifice females to transgender males. Sacrifice children to pedophiles and sexual predators. Sacrifice cities to the Noble Homeless and Junkies and Shoplifters. Sacrifice logic and merit to Woke rainbowism (i.e., luggage thief Sam Brinton). Sacrifice education to anyone without talent, because we are all equal in God's eyes (and East Asians ruin the White racism narrative). Sacrifice blue cities to dependent freeloaders.
Purge religion from the state at your own peril, as the prior generation of lefties tried with atheism, hedonism, and Anton LaVey's campy Satanism. Official state religion creeps back slowly, slowly, slowly and then all at once. Three hundred years of Greece was followed by four hundred years of Rome, and then followed by 1,000 years of Catholicism, and then a couple hundred years of state Protestantism in the USA.
State religion is back! Michelle is the Anointed One. The Democrats are the Alt Right.
Now we are up to at least three denials by Michelle Obama that she will ever run for President. Prior to today:
“The reason why I don’t want to run for president … my sense is that, first of all, you have to want the job,” she said in 2018.
In Netflix's 2023 The Light We Carry: Michelle Obama and Oprah Winfrey, an interview featuring the two, Obama shared she will not run for president.
"I've never expressed any interest in politics. Ever. I mean, I agreed to support my husband. He wanted to do it, and he was great at it. But at no point have I ever said, 'I think I want to run.' Ever. So, I'm just wondering: Does what I want have anything to do with anything? Does who I choose to be have anything to do with it?" Obama said.
Maybe she wants the image of a 'reluctant hero' as after the Left pleads for her she will eventually forsake her own personal aspirations in order to 'save the democracy'.
Say what you will about Donald Trump, he was an engaged, successful businessman for decades. What experience does Michelle Obama bring to the table? That she could be touted as a candidate, and would likely garner "all" of the democrat/left electorate, speaks very poorly of them.
If you have a director of communications you're running.
And oh please, Michelle, run. Dbate Robert Kennedy.
Michelle Obama found the role of First (????) to be intolerably burdensome. I don't believe she has any desire to be President, and she is far too selfish to do it for anyone else, including Barky.
"Don't forget that Julius Caesar refused the crown three times...before he finally accepted it."
Yeah, and he also crossed the Rubicon. But I doubt Mooch can swim.
Eh, another privileged asshole who hates the only country in the world where she enjoyed and profited immensely from opportunities unavailable to her anywhere else. Just like the douche bag she married. What a pair of ingrates of dubious talent. Two more ignorant fascist twats. Skid marks on America's shorts. Bugger off to the both of them.
Another angry black woman... Wherever they are in office you have the same result.
She’s not quite the star some think she is.
It really is an indication of the tunnel vision that runs rampant through the party right now, getting excited by Michele, but only because she's married to Obama - Close Enough ! But for the normies, there's no way a completely inexperienced non-politician could capture the Presidency without some pretty serious notoriety and a huge personality. She's just not enough of a Big Deal - an ex-President's wife, and a particularly un-notable one. What did she accomplish? The school lunch program fiasco, I guess. She rivals Jill as the frumpiest dresser, I guess. I can't think of anything else.
She just doesn't capture the interest of most people, in any party. And I've read that she hates politics, so that's a saving grace. And Obama knows he won't get away with a Presidency-by-Proxy again, using Michele this time. She can't get elected in the first place.
I think Obama already knows Biden is toast and is trying to figure out how to work Permanent Mischief Part II to the coming Trump presidency - the re-structuring of Le Resistance.
I rather liked Fritz Hollings' version: that if nominated, he would "flee to Mexico and fight extradition." (Which election was that? 1984?)
I've said from the beginning she wouldn't run. The job requires work.
I remember when White Sox fans would dream about a starting OF of Sammy Sosa, Michael Jordan and Bo Jackson after his hip replacement.
Im not kidding.
How about Barbie, she's hot these days?
I have to say, I saw Bo's first AB with the Sox and he hit a HR. After hip replacement surgery. One of those "Holy Cow" moments.
"Michelle Obama's office says . . . "
This is what I mean about President Trump doing his own work. Wet or otherwise.
There is no doubt about what President Trump is meaning, because he does not sent out some functionary to spew out a focus poll, sanitized "statement" She would be a perfect Dem Candidate.
Fluttering like an airport windsock
"Another angry black woman"
I'm not saying 'Michelle' killed the Obama family chef, but black 'women' being extremely jealous - even angry - of their bi-curious husband's acquaintances is quite well known.
Trump grows stronger whenever POC’s harangue him.
See, e.g., the Univision reporter, the blue-city DA’s, April Ryan, the Pakistani gold-star dad, etc, etc.
Three months of Michelle decrying him would make everyone a Trump voter.
Surely the Dem PTB’s know that.

"Michelle Obama found the role of First (????) to be intolerably burdensome."
It was a real pain in the frontbutt. You know, that region women are renowned for scratching and touching all the time, like guys do.
I very much appreciate Althouse's Things not believed tag. There are many things about Michelle I don't believe. That tag...it just works.
Love Sherman. His opinions about newspapers and reporters are evergreen.
Obama is still working out of his DC office space, very involved in politics of the current administration. Why is this not a larger news story? Even if suggesting his wife as a stand-in for him is not a precedent, thinking back to the Hillary debacle of a candidacy I'd suggest Michelle could only lose to a pre-arranged fall guy like Haley, and maybe not even then.
This speculation has been going on for a long time as the pundits fill out their required column inches and airwsve minutes. When Joe Biden gets renominated this speculation will be exchanged for another round of chin-pulling 'what ifs' which will also be forgotten.
That's my take on all of this.
Gavin Newsom would run over his mother with a steamroller to get the nomination should the opportunity arise. It won't just be handed to Mike Obama.
She hates the country as much as anyone. She'd be the perfect Democratic candidate.
Why oh why do they always moon over the Magic Negress. Republicans were just as stupid about Condoleeza Rice a dozen years ago, pre-Trump.
That right there proved it was a post-racial society.
Then Obama happened.
You’re assuming that this Princeton/Harvard grad even knows who Sherman was.

You have apparently been in a coma for the last three years.
I'm no Michelle O expert, much less a fan, but a lot of the stuff I see here reminds me of stuff I used to see about Trump, just transposed (ha)--she's a power-mad traitor whose lifelong ambition has been to destroy Amurca.
I didn't see it in Trump and I sure don't see it in her. I'm inclined to think that she wants no part of any actual office of trust or responsibility, and good on her for it.
she means gimme that
When asked if I have a penis and balls , I take the 5th.

No. It was simply a nicer way of saying she's lazy.
I was grad student at Auburn when Bo played for them
learned about him later
With Kamala as her running mate, how can she lose.
"I'm not saying 'Michelle' killed the Obama family chef, but black 'women' being extremely jealous - even angry - of their bi-curious husband's acquaintances is quite well known."
Look, Dude, I'm no fan of Mickey O, but she's no Hillary Clinton.
The NBC News headline even hedges in saying that MO won’t run for president in 2024
Michelle is not the compliant Barack puppet like Joe is. Kamala is the perfect husk-puppet to replace Joe, but how install her is the challenge.
That’s the current Dem problem—how to drag Harris across the finish line.
I wonder why NBC and gadfly are trying so hard to convince me she is not running? They need the shock and awe of a last minute substitution of Michelle so that the vote can occur before anyone can think too much about it. Beiden’s health emergency must be a crisis answered only by brave Michelle standing up for democracy.
A Mid September health crisis by Beiden and a promise that Sotomayor will retire so Kamala can be appointed is all that is needed. Since Michelle is black, she can actually just blow Kamala off and select Gavin for vp, but a supreme courtship would be a regal kindness for Kamala.

Here's Thomas sowell on that topic.
He's not nearly as nice.

Michelle would be more comfortable in the Pentagon. Secretary of Offense.
Narr, you're being naive. Michelle Obama has bragged extensively in female media about her "no show" high six figure jobs being justice. She lied throughout the 2008 campaign to an extraordinary degree involving her deep relationship with terrorists who killed and maimed cops.
So she's either a moron or a cop-killing colluder. I don't think she's a moron. The facts need to come out. Now.
"So she's either a moron or a cop-killing colluder."
She may well be both--but that doesn't mean she has a strong desire to be POTUS.
If Michelle O runs for resident I will send $100.00 to a charity of your choice, Tina.
(You should save this--I'm likely to forget.)
Michelle Obama is the next President of the United States of America.
It's delicate. They will want to appear 1000% behind Joe until the moment comes to give him the needle. But that's just a PR problem. Kamala is another difficulty. It's OK. She'll get the message after she witnesses Joe's last moments.
Thanks, Narr. JDF or NAKP.
I know JDF (I think) but what is NAKP, please?
