I think the Obamas will be like the Clintons, and never quite go away.
I think it’s quite possible that Michelle Obama will follow in Hillary’s footsteps, and run for elective office somewhere someday.
Both Obamas will be all over TV for decades to come, as the media will still swoon over them, and seek them out.
Obama will be out there all the time, if Trump is elected president, to point out the alleged failures of Trump, and continue to brag about his own presidency, what a golden age it was, etc.
I hit post too soon.
Also wanted to mention, the Obamas have studied the Clinton foundation and will set up their own foundation, similar to the Clintons. They will rake in the big bucks from speaking fees.
Can you imagine how much in demand Obama will be on the lecture circuit in the years ahead???? He and Michelle will become multi millionaires. We’re talking a nine figure net worth. They won’t have any money troubles at all.
I think you’re wrong about Michelle going into electoral politics. By all accounts, she hates the White House.
Michelle has a taste for the high life, though. She likes expensive clothes, vacations around the world, and good food and drink. She also has a massive sense of entitlement.
I see her as the head of a non-profit that allows her to represent the grievances of the little people (mainly through public appearances and hobnobiing with celebrities), while actually doing very little work.
