(11,464 posts)President Obama44 elevated by President Clinton45 in 2018 for the US Supreme Court(like Taft)
then PresidentMichelle46 for another 8 years(2024 and 2028)
then by that time allowances for a President to run for another two terms non consecutive
so President Barack Obama47

It is going to be decades before there is someone as SOS half as good.

The body language in this @60Minutes interview is very telling. Relaxed. Respect. Hard earned but quite evident.
Thanks alp
