doesn't run: MICHELLE OBAMA! He knows she wouldn't. He still admires her greatly and thinks she would be a wonderful leader of our country.
It made me want to dream a dream...I look at Obama on the campaign trail for a deserving candidate in Georgia and I think back to those years we had that great family in the White House.
FWIW, I thought I'd share that today, especially, since I am so inspired by Warnock's victory. It is a sweet day!

(14,004 posts)I understand why she doesnt want it though. She and her family have been the target of much racist hate.

I didn't have the time in the Thanksgiving rush of meet and greet others, to sit down and have that serious discussion. But I will. There must be something more here and I want to go into his thinking with more depth.
I know, I know...I would have groaned like you and others here. But here's the thing: I became active in the anti-war movement when he was 3 years old. He knew me as someone who went to marches, carried a sign, was committed to ending the Vietnam War and, in particular, the draft. I was terrified that he would be taken from us by an unjustifiable war.
Some of this background rubbed off on him.
