Chief Justice Barack Obama

Really? That and after Michelle Obama wins the Presidency after Hillary there are people saying that Malia and Sasha should run for President and that Chelsea should run for Senate and then for President and then Bill Clinton should be installed as a Supreme Court Justice and Hillary too! Aww.. heck, just give Bill Clinton any old position he wants in any Democratic administration. You can't look at comments like these and think that the person making them is coming from a realistic position.

Criticism of NSA spy program is by proxy criticism of Obama. Die-hard defense of every policy decision, die-hard defense of every personality quirk, die-hard defense of every misstep. These people are public servants, they aren't demi-gods that we are expected to grovel at their feet.

1. I'd rather see Justice (or Chief Justice)

Hillary Clinton. But she's too old to be nominated by some people's standards, since she would probably only sit for about 10 years.

5. What nutjob crack-smoking gin-swilling glue-huffing intertube website is telling you these things.

I recommend sticking with more mainstream websites.

Obama will not be on the SCOTUS and none of the other things you mention.

It's very unlikely, even, that Hillary will become president, much less win the primary, much less run.

7. I hope the Obamas have a quite, peaceful retirement.

Do not want to see either of them hold a public office again. Hopefully they can continue to do good things as a private citizen, devoting their time, money and energy to progressive causes.

I was first going to thrash your post but luckily I read it again.
No more Bushes.
No more Kennedys.
No more Obamas.
No more Clintons.

Oh hell, cut to the chase, no more family dynasties period and to think Jebthro is thinking of running. Hell, let's have Trisha and Julie Nixon run.

Oh yeah, while this will never happen, the rethugs keep harping on both Obamas having their law licenses suspended and would be ineligible for some of these fantasy posts, both of their licenses are currently inactive by their choice, they were not revoked they gave them up voluntarily (they didn't need them and I bet it costs a little bit of money to keep them active) and could reactivate them easily.

I like how these cretins lie and once it hits the Internet, it becomes gospel.
