My wish: Obama for future Mayor of Chicago.

Being a president should not have to be the end of time in elected office. He's will still be relatively young, in good shape and mentally keen as ever when he leaves the White House in 2017. And it should never be considered a "step down".

post-Presidencies in history, but I can't see him doing the mayor thing. I envision a much larger role for him, and we're not talking about getting on a roof and pounding nails.
