Now that I think about it, I feel sad for my Democratic Party. Perhaps we missed a real opportunity.
If Michelle Obama runs for President and Barack Obama runs for VP, it would create a strong Democratic ticket. Perhaps never again to be equaled. This would be the first time in history the President would have benefit of that type of previous experience coming from the spouse. The thought of Barack there by Michelle's side at every single turn, like Ivanka was there by Trump's side, throws me into a rabid frenzy.
And just why can't a man stand behind his lovely wife for a change, telling her "You got this honey." It can also be billed as the country going green. Recycling greatness.
Regardless of whether Michelle is actually President, that dynamic also hands us back Barack as President, by proxy, for one more full term. And you can believe the Russians won't get to talk to Michelle alone. Would ever again the VP play such a "hands on
::pun
intended:: role."
As Gcomeau stated, "Barack is no power mad jackass."
But if we can get to him like Wesley got to Honor, we could tell him that we need him. That it is his duty.
The American people would eat it up. It would provide Michelle a chance to right the ship her husband built and throw mud in Trump's face.
Michelle's resume is nothing short of stellar . . .
Raised on the South Side of Chicago, Illinois, Michelle is a graduate of Princeton University and Harvard Law School. In her early legal career, she worked at the law firm Sidley Austin where she met Barack Obama. She subsequently worked in non-profits and as the associate dean of Student Services at the University of Chicago as well as the vice president for Community and External Affairs of the University of Chicago Medical Center. Michelle married Barack in 1992, and they have two daughters.
And, not that she needs to drop names, but her husband was recently President. A damn good one!

Barack could run as VP.
