Don’t do it Joe…
It wouldn’t fit …
And having been close to it for 8 years…
The former First Lady wants nothing to do with it….
But it DOES get some Democrats and the media juices flow…
Presumptive Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden said in a new interview that he would have no hesitation picking former first lady Michelle Obama to be his running mate, but added that he doubts she is interested in the position.

““I’ll say it here directly: I have no intention of running for office, ever,” she wrote in her best-selling memoir, “Becoming,” released in 2018.
Her refusals haven’t stopped Democrats from asking her to reconsider…

“She really kind of transcends politics,” [ Valerie ] Jarrett said. “Obviously, she supports Vice President Biden but doesn’t see herself as a political figure.”
