President Obama in Boxing Gloves

http://miketysonlive.com/boxingchannel/notjustboxing/president-obama-shows-knockout-form/


I like this photo of President Obama wearing some boxing gloves that Mike posted on FaceBook today. I've seen a couple of other photos from this shoot.

I know our President is a big fan of The Greatest, Muhammad Ali. He also has followed the current best pound-for-pound champion, Floyd Mayweather, Jr's career closely.

If Michelle Obama ran for President, I'd support her 1000%. I think that she is one of the most amazing women in our nation's history.

But I think that she is waaaay too smart to want to deal with all the BS that comes with both the campaign and the job. I don't think she would suffer fools gladly. Still... she would make an amazing President.

She is an incredible woman. But I cannot support these political dynasties. Out of a population of 300,000,000 we can find someone else. I am already angry enough that we very likely will have either a third Bush presidency or a second Clinton presidency. I will not support another Obama presidency. It is very disappointing to me that our choices are this limited. The presidency cannot be something to be handed off between large political families, no matter how good of people they may be.

By the way, I loved your piece on the girl scouts earlier. Teaching is easily the most rewarding thing I have been able to do in my life, in addition to helping people. I am very glad that you have had the opportunities to do so throughout the years. It sounds like they really enjoyed having you.

For whatever reason, for the past eight years, every time I see her, I forget that Barack even exists. But, he does. I think that Michelle is well to the left of her husband on social-political issues, and is an amazing person.
