Democrat Operatives Launch ‘Committee to Draft Michelle Obama’ for VP
2:42
A newly-launched committee called “Draft Michelle Obama” is pushing for Joe Biden, the apparent Democrat presidential nominee, to select the former first lady as his running mate.
“Joe Biden has said he would choose Michelle Obama as his running mate ‘in a heartbeat.’ The aim of this campaign is to build on the substantial grassroots support for a potential Michelle Obama candidacy and help garner media attention for a vice-presidential nominee who has the power to beat Donald Trump,” the group said in a statement released Monday.
The statement adds: “The Committee to Draft Michelle Obama firmly believes that Ms. Obama will not only benefit the Democratic ticket this November but also help lead this country to be more just and caring. However strongly we support Ms. Obama as Vice President Biden’s running mate, we will transfer our resolve to whoever joins the ticket to defeat the most dangerous incumbent in the history of our nation.”
The group, which filed with the Federal Election Commission (FEC) in late April, is supported by Democratic fundraisers Nadine Hack and Mack Wilbourn, spokesperson Drew Zuckerman told The Hill.
Biden has said he would undoubtedly pick Obama to be his running mate, affirming in an April interview that he would “take her in a heartbeat.”
“She’s brilliant. She knows the way around. She is a really fine woman. The Obamas are great friends,” the former vice president told CBS Pittsburgh.
Days later, former second lady Jill Biden echoed her husband’s praise of Obama, stating that she would make a “wonderful” vice president.
Though Democrats think Obama would boost lagging enthusiasm plaguing Biden’s candidacy, members of the former first lady’s circle say the move will never happen. Former White House official Valerie Jarrett recently poured cold water on the idea, saying there is “no chance” she would agree to run.
“The reason why I’m being so unequivocal is that there just simply has never been a time when she’s expressed an interest in running for office,” Jarrett told The Hill. “She’s not demurring here. She’s not being hard to get. She doesn’t want the job.”
The Biden campaign is currently vetting several women as potential running mates, including failed White House candidates Sens. Elizabeth Warren (D-MA), Kamala Harris (D-CA), and Amy Klobuchar (D-MN). Also under consideration are Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer (D) and progressive activist Stacy Abrams (D). A recently released CBS News/YouGov poll found a majority of Democrats want Biden to consider Warren as his vice presidential pick.
Michelle
Obama, Saintly Buckraker?
The
Hollywood Reporter recently broke a scoop about the latest Netflix documentary
from the Obamas, designed to offer us an oasis of joy as we suffer through the
coronavirus pandemic. It's called "Becoming," and it will be
available worldwide on May 6. As the title suggests, it promotes Michelle
Obama's memoir of the same name, which has sold more than 10 million copies. So
let's get this straight. The Obamas were awarded a book deal worth an estimated
$65 million for their memoirs, hers and then his. They also struck an estimated
$50 million production deal with Netflix. (We don't have actual numbers. Could
someone in the media ask for a tax return?)
With this
self-aggrandizing documentary, their second deal is being used to accentuate
the profits of their first. The buckraking here is intense. President Donald
Trump surely admires their self-promotional moxie. The Obamas quickly became
super rich. Vanity Fair celebrated these "Obamoguls" and hailed
Michelle Obama for her "saintly popularity." This so-called saint
doesn't spurn the finer things. Last August, TMZ reported the Obamas were
buying a $15 million mansion on the coast of Martha's Vineyard to match their
$8 million Washington, D.C., mansion. Non-Fox network coverage? Zero. In
December, they actually bought said Martha's Vineyard mansion for $11.75
million. Non-Fox network coverage? Again, zero. There would be no denting
haloes by asking how much they're giving to charity. The documentary celebrates
Michelle Obama's "Becoming" book tour events at stadiums that charged
Obama superfans $300 or more a ticket, often with celebrities like Oprah
Winfrey along for the ride.
Media
outlets repeated Obama's self-puffery without rebuttal. "Those months I
spent traveling -- meeting and connecting with people in cities across the
globe -- drove home the idea that what we have in common is deep and real and
can't be messed with," she said in a statement. She augmented her new
status as a self-help guru with a workbook of sorts: "Becoming: A Guided
Journal for Discovering Your Voice," complete with "an intimate and
inspiring introduction by the former First Lady and more than 150 inspiring questions
and quotes to help you discover -- and rediscover -- your story."
Not
everyone famous is praised for self-help books for women. The current
president's daughter Ivanka Trump wrote one in 2017, and The New York Times was
brutal. "It reads more like the scrambled Tumblr feed of a demented
12-year-old who just checked out a copy of Bartlett's Familiar Quotations from
the library," it wrote.
There are
never Republican critics of Obama in the "news" these days. In a
Washington Post story on the documentary, writer Sonia Rao quoted Anita
McBride, chief of staff to former first lady Laura Bush, who said Obama was
"a reluctant first lady" but then formed lasting public connections
through her "extraordinary use of media and pop culture and
television."
Is that Michelle's
gift to the media? No, it's the media's gift to Michelle. The infatuated titans
of "news" and entertainment media appear to have granted her every
"extraordinary" wish in building this "billion-dollar
brand."
The
cheers are always presumed to be unanimous. Dissent from this party line is
ignored. And no one asks about the profits. For the Obamas, greed is cast as
just another inspiring voyage of self-discovery.

With Biden flailing, is
Michelle Obama going to take his place?
The
news is suddenly awash in reports that, on May 6, Netflix and the Barack and Michelle
Obama production company will premiere a documentary about the book tour
Michelle Obama did in connection with her memoir. Both the memoir
and the documentary are entitled Becoming. What's
interesting is that this premiere is a surprise:
Michelle Obama 'Becoming' documentary is a
surprise new Netflix release
[snip]
"Those months I spent traveling — meeting
and connecting with people in cities across the globe — drove home the idea
that what we have in common is deep and real and can't be messed with,"
she wrote in Monday's press release announcing the documentary.
"In talking about the idea of 'becoming,'
many of us dared to say our hopes out loud. I treasure the memories and that
sense of connection now more than ever as we struggle together to weather this
pandemic, as we care for our loved ones, tend to our communities and try to
keep up with work and school while coping with huge amounts of loss, confusion
and uncertainty.
"Even as we can no longer safely gather or
feed off the energy of groups, even as many of us are living with grief,
loneliness and fear, we need to stay open and able to put ourselves in other
people's shoes," she added. "Empathy is our lifeline here. It's what
will get us to the other side."
Am
I the only one who finds this "surprise" an amazing coincidence when
taken in conjunction with Joe Biden's declining candidacy?
Additionally,
Michelle has been popping up all over the place. She recorded a PSA for the District
of Columbia, as well as setting up robocalls and radio ads. She's
suddenly popped up on PBS reading books to
children ("Mondays with Michelle Obama"). She's also out
there pushing for voting by mail and is generally making more appearances.
In
an almost desperate manner, Joe Biden is also putting her name out there
as his preferred running mate:
Joe Biden, the apparent Democratic presidential
nominee, had an update about his search for a vice presidential partner: He
said he would choose Michelle Obama as his running mate "in a
heartbeat."
"She's brilliant. She knows the way around.
She is a really fine woman. The Obamas are great friends," the former vice
president told KDKA-TV of
Pittsburgh.
Speaking
through Valerie Jarrett, the Obama family consigliere, Michelle has let it be
known that she doesn't want to be the vice
president. Jarrett claims as well that Michelle isn't interested
in any part of the presidential ticket:
Former Obama White House senior adviser Valerie
Jarrett said Tuesday that Obama would not consider being Biden's vice
president in an
interview with The Hill, telling the outlet that she simply is not
interested in being on the Democratic presidential ticket.
"The reason why I'm being so unequivocal is
that there just simply has never been a time when she's expressed an interest
in running for office," Jarrett said.
"She's not demurring here. She's not being
hard to get. She doesn't want the job," she continued.
That
may even be true, insofar as Michelle's wishes go, but I suspect that she's
getting an enormous amount of pressure to step up as Biden's fortunes go
down. Indeed, her husband may be assuring her that she'll just be a
figurehead while he does all the real work. She may find it hard to
resist that kind of pressure to "save the party" or "save the
country."
However,
a very savvy friend of mine (whom I won't name since I haven't had a chance to
clear this with him) believes that Michelle knows there's too much dirt out
there for her to overcome. He believes we'll soon learn just how
deeply Barack Obama was involved when it came to the Russia
hoax. Michelle will also find herself having to answer for multiple
Obama-era policies, such as the Iran deal, the sluggish economy, the mess that
Obamacare proved to be, etc.
Michelle
has always been drawn to the high life, says my friend, and she'll be reluctant
to give it up the freedom she has (augmented by the millions coming in on her
book sales) in exchange for the stress and constraints of the White House.
There is Nothing
‘Loony’ About Bill Ayers as Obama’s Muse
This past week several people called my attention
to a post by Scott Johnson on his influential PowerLine blog
that addressed the literary relationship between Barack Obama and his radical
friend, Bill Ayers.
In the post Johnson spoke of his high regard for
David Garrow’s “staggeringly researched” 2017 Obama biography, Rising
Star. “Without resolving all mysteries,” Johnson writes, “[Garrow’s]
scholarship belies the notion that [Dreams from My Father] was
ghostwritten by Bill Ayers or other such collaborator.”
Johnson emailed Garrow to follow up on the
authorship question, and Garrow responded, “I don’t recall exactly where the
Bill Ayers [stuff] got started, but it, like the Frank-Davis-as-father notion,
is just beyond loony, ’cause Dreams is already *in galleys*
when Barack and Bill first get to know each other.”
I did not advance this theory casually. I
understood then what Obama biographer David Remnick would later affirm, namely
that my theory, “if ever proved true, or believed to be true among enough
voters, could have been the end of [Obama’s] candidacy.”
My research on this topic, aided by several
helpful literary detectives, culminated in my 2011 book, published by Simon
& Schuster, Deconstructing Obama. I think I can safely assume Garrow
has never read it. I would invite those curious about the evidence to read the
book or even to read the preliminary article cited above.
That Garrow does not know the source of a theory
he dismisses offhand as “beyond loony” is, unfortunately, altogether typical of
establishment political writers. His airy dismissal, in fact, reinforces the theme
of my forthcoming book Unmasking Obama: The Fight to Tell the True
Story of a Failed Presidency.
In the book, I use the phrase “samizdat” --
Russian for underground press -- to describe the loose coalition of
conservative blogs, online publications, talk radio shows, and legal monitors
such as Judicial Watch that challenged the Left -- and, occasionally, the
“responsible” right -- for control of the Obama narrative.
For eight-plus years, the samizdat broke
virtually every major unflattering story about Obama and his presidency, some
of which the major media grudgingly confirmed, some of which they continue to
suppress. In the book I tell how the individuals in question managed to break
these stories out. In every case, as you might imagine, the samizdat
journalists were met with condescension, if not outright contempt, from the
major media.
Obama’s biographers were among the more
contemptuous. Curiously, the four major biographers are all named David --
Mendell, Remnick, Maraniss, and Garrow. The last three are Pulitzer Prize
winners. To his credit, Garrow was the only one of the four who refused to prop
up what Remnick called Obama’s “signature appeal: the use of the details of his
own life as a reflection of a kind of multicultural ideal.”
The story Obama told about his happy
multicultural family at the conventions was pure fiction. According to Garrow,
Obama’s mother, Ann Dunham, and Barack Obama Sr. “never chose to live together
at any time following the onset of Ann’s pregnancy.” Garrow quotes approvingly
one unnamed scholar to the effect that Obama Sr. was no more than “a sperm
donor in his son’s life.” All of this was common knowledge in the samizdat as
early as 2008, but it came as news to many of Garrow’s readers in 2017.
Like his fellow Davids, however, Garrow has no
use for information gleaned from the samizdat, especially information I
introduced. On the subject of the Obama poem “Pop,” for instance, Garrow notes,
“Most commentators presumed that Obama had written about his grandfather, Stan
Dunham, not Frank Marshall Davis.”
This much was true, but “hostile critics,” Garrow
continues, insisted the poem was about Obama’s bi-sexual Communist mentor,
Davis. The “hostile critics” Garrow cites in the footnotes are historian Paul
Kengor and me.
Instead of giving me credit for being the first
to decode “Pop,” Garrow describes me in the footnote as “someone who is cited
with the greatest reluctance.” What I did to deserve this slight is left
unsaid, especially since Garrow knows I nailed the identity of “Pop” two years
before anyone in the mainstream media did, including the other Davids.
As to Bill Ayers’s involvement in the writing
of Dreams, Garrow does not even deign to dismiss the possibility.
He has a discovery of his own, namely that outside literary help came from a
law school buddy of Obama’s named Rob Fisher. This is an important find
if for no other reason than it undercuts Obama’s 2008 boast to a crowd of
schoolteachers, "I've written two books. I actually wrote them myself."
An established economist before starting law
school, Fisher became good friends with Obama at Harvard. There, they
co-authored a manuscript that perhaps prophetically was never finished. One
completed chapter dealt with the always sexy topic of plant closings.
“The quest is to develop guidelines,” they wrote,
“on how politically progressive movements can use the market mechanism to
promote social goals.” Garrow quotes the unfinished manuscript extensively. Its
style is wonkish and ungainly throughout.
Sentences like the following suggest that one
author wrote as awkwardly as the other: “While Yuppies can afford the expensive
frivolities provided by The Sharper Image, others receive insufficient
nutrition to allow their minds to develop properly.”
I do not question Fisher’s involvement. Obama
needed all the help he could get. What I do question is Fisher’s ability to
provide the poetry, the rage, the postmodern rhetoric, and the Homeric
structure that inspired Oona King of the London Times to
overpraise Dreams as “a beautifully written
personal memoir steeped in honesty.”
Garrow seems to dismiss my thesis for no more
substantial reason than his belief that Dreams was already in
galley form when “Barack and Bill first get to know each other.” Garrow traces
the first meeting of these two gentlemen to a breakfast some time in early
1995. He bases this timing on the suspiciously well-remembered account of a
common friend who claims to have introduced them.
Garrow, however, has a problem with chronology.
He writes that Obama took six weeks off from his law firm job “in late spring
1994” to finish Dreams. He needed time to complete the book’s third
section, the one on Africa. Garrow claims Obama worked largely from letters he
sent in 1988 while in Kenya and retrieved from his girlfriend at the time,
Sheila Jager.
David Maraniss told a different story in his 2012
bio. According to Maraniss’s source, Crown editor Henry Ferris, Obama made an
additional trip to Kenya for further research. Obama confirmed this trip when
interviewed by Marannis. Garrow makes no mention of this mysterious trip, which
would have taken place in 1994. No one else does either. Like much in his life,
Obama appears to have made it up.
A more likely possibility is that Obama lied to
Ferris about the trip. Instead of going to Kenya, Obama may have contented
himself with going to the local library and pillaging the memoirs of longtime
Kenya resident Kuki Gallmann.
This is the theory proposed by
tireless researcher Shawn Glasco. He was intrigued by the many words and
phrases in Dreams that also appeared in Gallmann’s book, African
Nights, which was published in 1994. These include Baobab [a tree], bhang
[cannabis], boma [an enclosure], samosa [a fried snack], shamba [a farm field],
liana [a vine], tilapia [a fish], kanga [a sheet of fabric], shuka [decorative
sashes], and many, many more.
Based on Garrow’s imprecise timeline, Obama flew
to New York to hand the completed book off to Ferris no later than early June
1994. In other words, he spent six weeks to finish the last third of the
400-page book between “late spring” 1994 and early June 1994, which is, in
fact, late spring.
In his 2009 book, Barack and Michelle:
Portrait of an American Marriage, celebrity biographer Christopher Andersen
offers a much more credible account of how Obama managed to finish a project
that hung over his head ever since he finished law school.
According to Andersen’s two sources in Chicago’s
Hyde Park, Obama found himself deeply in debt and “hopelessly blocked.” At
“Michelle’s urging,” Obama “sought advice from his friend and Hyde Park
neighbor Bill Ayers.” Noting that Obama had already taped interviews with many
of his relatives, both African and American, Andersen elaborated, “These oral
histories, along with his partial manuscript and a trunkload of notes were
given to Ayers.” Andersen’s six-page account makes sense, logically and
chronologically, but Garrow fully ignores it.
Andersen is a best-selling, mainstream author. He
even appeared on MSNBC’s Hardball to discuss the book. Said
Chris Matthews at the end of the interview, “You‘re amazing, successful
guy. You have a winning streak here.” Matthews likely did not read the
book. Garrow did read it and cites the book in the footnotes but, oddly, not on
the subject of authorship.
Garrow nonetheless offers some valuable insights
into the Ayers-Obama relationship, insights that I believe strengthen my
thesis. Once Ayers helped launch Obama’s political career in 1995, Garrow
writes, “Barack and Michelle began to see a great deal more of not only Bill
and Bernardine [Dohrn] but also their three closest friends, Rashid and Mona
Khalidi and Carole Travis."
According to Garrow, the three couples attended
"almost nightly dinners” together up until the time Obama ran for the U.S.
Senate in 2004. This information, of course, makes complete hash out of Obama’s
infamous claim during a 2008 debate that Ayers was “just a guy who lives in my
neighborhood.”
Khalidi, a radical Palestinian, begins his 2004
book, Resurrecting Empire, with a tribute to his own literary
muse. “First, chronologically and in other ways,” writes Khalidi, “comes Bill
Ayers.” Unlike the calculating Obama, Khalidi had no reason to be coy about
this relationship. He elaborates, “Bill was particularly generous in
letting me use his family’s dining room table to do some writing for the
project.” Khalidi did not need the table. He had one of his own. He
needed help from the skilled neighborhood editor and writer who obviously could
and would provide it.
There is nothing “loony” about Bill Ayers helping
a good friend finish his book. That is what Ayers did. He was grooming Obama
for higher office and was savvy enough to keep his writing relationship with
Obama under wraps. Being a friend of a terrorist, Ayers knew, would not exactly
help Obama’s career.
