Just a few months after a former First Lady lost a presidential election, celebrities are already trying to draft Michelle Obama to do the same exact thing.
Obama earned her first celebrity endorsement on Wednesday during an appearance on The Tonight Show when host Jimmy Fallon suggested she look at a run for the Oval Office.
Fallon asked the First Lady to write thank you notes to people and about events that she’s thankfully for during the last eight years. Obama gave gratitude for her husband, for inauguration day (so she can move — a pun to her “Let’s Move Campaign”), and for her Reach Higher initiative.
The Tonight Show host spent all his notes thanking The First Lady for toned arms, showing the world what Beyonce would look like if she would have married a much nerdier Jay-Z, and for promoting physical fitness, which led Fallon to offer her a suggestion.
“Finally, thank you Mrs. Obama, for always promoting physical fitness and hey since you like running so much how about you running for president,” Fallon said to the audience loud cheers.
The First Lady laughed off the suggestion as a joke, but there’s a very strong chance most liberals would embrace her if she decided to run.
