I just watched Obama give one of the eulogies at Elijah Cummings funeral.

Damn, I wish Obama could run again. He was a true leader that we could be proud of. Most of the free world would shout out a Hallelujah Maybe recruiting Michelle is not a bad idea.

But if he could run again, we would never have another President after a Republican gets in office.

that Michelle Obama - as she has stated repeatedly - is not going to run for office? She doesn’t like it and she doesn’t want to do it. Seems to me that she’s already sacrificed enough.

and I think she means it. But I know she loves this county as much as her husband and just as much a patriot. If she thought she might be the person to keep our democracy from sliding into a dictatorship I think she might do it. And I normally believe that a woman will have uphill climb to win the Presidency, but Michelle is one of the most respected people in our country and I think she would win if she ran.
