through out these past 3 1/2 years and have said the same thing. There are people in this world that are great. I believe President Obama is one of them. And, because we had an Obama once, we can have an Obama again. That person will have different qualities but we CAN have greatness again.

If the little guy ever needs more comforting, there are hundreds of choices there, including today's addresses. I recommend searching "Barack Obama reads." There are several videos of him reading children's stories, some of which also include Michelle.

...Michelle Obama should be Biden's running mate. I wonder if a Joe Biden/Michelle Obama ticket would stir up so many of those depths of passion that this ticket would be a slam-dunk? Do y'all think this ticket would get out the Democratic vote? Do y'all think this ticket would help down-ballot Democrats too? Do y'all think Michelle Obama could be persuaded to run if it were put to her like this?

watching Becoming on Netflix, 8 years is enough. She's a wonderful woman, her whole family is.

So sad, we are in a dark place right now.

that Trump, with his poor handling of this pandemic, has created a whole generation of new Democrats.

"OMG I fucking miss him." I knew EXACTLY what you meant.

Then, the realization that, if your post was about "OMG I fucking hate him," again, I would have known exactly what you meant.
