Prez Obama for VP! Term limits is 10 years not 8!?

It's 10 years because a VP could become President due to death or other event and then still get to run and be elected for 8 years!

I am a little bit joking but just throwing that out there and actually personally :

I am on board for whoever she picks, I trust her judgement

Are pretty isolated. I wish Prez Obama a fuller life than that! For him and his young family.

I know that people give a lot of prestige to judges, but from my experience their lives get limited due to the job, ~when you think of day in and day out. Parts of it are very interesting, but parts of it seem to be a drag. JMO

Basically he's an organizer at this core and he'll go back to that, advocating for marginalized and needy people worldwide.

he is going to keep working for us. Now he is free to work on world wide peace, climate issues, global unity and all of the other things he can turn his brilliant mind to.

He is going on to bigger things, not smaller ones.
