Trump has a great deal to figure out. Blind trust or let the kiddos run it and all that. He clearly doesn't know the rules of the game.

I hope that you don't think I'm going to step up to defend the man. I'm fairly certain his presidency will be a disaster, but I thought the same thing of Hillary.

The best thing that happened this year: Both aristocratic political lines -- the Bushes and the Clintons -- lost. I hope that the two parties stop pulling that crap on us.

I hope to never have to see either one of their faces again.. Don't suggest even if kidding...
Uh, sorry "Grumpy Old Man", but President Obama has been wonderful president. Michelle has been a wonderful First Lady. Their children have been wonderful First Daughters and their grandmother a fabulous First Grandma. Collectively, they elevated the office after the disastrous Bush Era. Furthermore, the Obama Administration stabilized the American economy (from the auto industry to Wall Street), reestablished diplomatic relations within the international community (including Cuba), nominated the first Hispanic Supreme Court Justice (Sonia Sotomayor), crafted ACA (which, apparently, Donald Trump now sorta likes)... Yes, even with the "do nothing" Congress, and hostility from obstructionists, the Obama Administration accomplished a lot. When you add the grace under pressure that both The President and Mrs. Obama both exhibited, it explains why they're both so popular: The majority of the American people liked this president and his family, which is why they elected him twice (that's the electoral college and the popular vote).

All that, and gas is under $2.50 a gal...Quite frankly (neo-liberal market globalist or not), if it weren't for term limits, that man would be in the WH for a third term. Something tells me Michelle would be even better...Which is why I hope she changes her mind about running in a few years.

No more Bushes, Clintons, or Obamas. Let's find somebody fresh in 2020.

She has said again and again that she has no interest in running. Thank God. We don't need the Obamas back in the White House.

Besides, she didn't even love the country until her husband was elected.

Obama was terrible, only the democrats think he's great. If he was a great president, Hillary would have won and it would have shown people were happy about the way democrats were leading our country. That wasn't the case.

They all hated on Bush until the found out they would actually have to work with him.

I love Michelle, but I don't think she's interested in running.

She's an incredible speaker. Her speech for Hillary in NH was amazing.

I see. And what brought you to these conclusions?

Wildly popular? Never heard such a thing. Brilliant? Perhaps, but she'd never done anything upon which to judge that. Prolific strategist? Again, where's that coming from? Her accomplishment as First Lady seems to have been the takeover of school lunch programs, lunches that the kids won't eat and that have added to the bureaucratic burden of running schools.
