Actually, Michelle's already in with the Gov. as a spokeperson for his Governor's Council for Fitness and Sport.

I don't believe Michelle has a future in politics or diplomacy. In fact, I really wonder what she will end up doing.

Me, too. Maybe she will increase her involvement with the East-West Bank and go into banking and financial services. Maybe she will get bit by the entrepreneur bug and try to expand the family-owned ice arena into a chain, complete with their own hockey league.
Not that she has to do anything, of course. She could just retire and live happily ever after. Somehow, though, I don't think she will. (Retire, I mean. I do think she will live happily ever after.

I think Michelle would hit a stumbling block:
"Yes, I'd like to speak to the Chinese President, er, what's his name?"
"Hu."
"The Chinese President."
"Hu!"
"The Chinese President, what is his name?"
"Hu is the President!"
"That is what I am asking, what is his name?"
"That is what I am answering, Hu is his name!"
"(angered) No, who is the president of China?"
"Yes, Hu is the president of China!"
Oh, you could go on and on, let's wish Michelle a good time.

[Ooops! I was attempting to post directly following John King and a post slipped in between the quest for President Hu & my post.]

Do you guys remember the old Johnny Carson routine when he impersonated President Reagan (you can find it on You Tube by searching for Johnny Carson Ronald Reagan 1982).
Reagan, "So, who is my Secretary of the Interior again?"
Actor playing presidential aid James Baker: "Watt."
Reagan, "What's the name of the guy who is the Secretary of the Interior?
Baker: "Yessir!"
Reagan, "No, not the PLO guy, the Secretary of the Interior.
Baker, "Watt. You're going swimming with him tommorow at the Y."
Reagan, "Where?"
Etc.
BTW, Secretary of the Interior James Watt (whose job it was to advise the President on environmental issues) believed that the end of the world was imminent and there would be no future generations, so there was no reason to conserve resources.
And when someone asked about the Interior Department's position on diversity, he famously bragged, "We've got a black, a woman, two Jews and a cripple."

Hmm, pollitics has many level, most important IMO is a local level. Her paternal aunt is a politician involved in local CA politics. Maybe political saavy runs in the family. But maybe MK will not be involved in politics, I do see her in putlic sevice. .
Right now she is doing skating rink business with her family. She has always been a very serious person. Whatever she decides to do, I am sure she will give 100%. She never traded traiining time for Paris shopping sprees when she was a competitive skater, I am sure she will do her best in whatever she chooses.

Have any prominent figure skaters gone on to a career in politics?
I know Wayne Seybold is the mayor of Marion, Indiana. Seybold competed in pairs in the 1988 Olympics with his sister Kim. At the 1989 U.S. nationals they got a silver medal behind Yamaguchi and Galindo.
Any others?
