This is the Obamas' day, but there is something I need to get off my chest. [View all]

I was very happy to have something like the inauguration for the Obama Presidential library to keep my mind optimistic. The event went very well. But social media being what it is, had to throw a wrench into the works.

The thought-provoking post floated the idea that Michele Obama should run for president in 2028. It's easy to want to embrace this idea, but then I remembered the photo of her giving George Bush II a great big happy hug and it all came back to me. Michelle's go high, when they go low and Obama's move forward mantra (i.e. don't look back), is not what we need in 2028. We need someone who is furious at what has happened to this country and knows from the moment they walk into the Oval Office that they have to be the face of an avenging angel. They have to know that what we're up against are not people who plan to play fair. They are people with an evil intent who have been dismantling the Constitution in order to obtain power and hold onto it. And because no one has been able to hold them accountable, they now have a zombie Army of MAGAs at their beck and call.

What we need is someone who has the will to hold them accountable, since it's the only way to stop them from moving forward with their objectives. So, unless Michelle is willing to show the kind of gravitas that would convince me she gets it, maybe she should sit the next election out.
