Goodness gracious I miss that wonderful President.
What a contrast with the dumpster fire we got now.

I'd also suggest that Joe Biden and John Kerry could
prosecute a heckova case too

He's put away both Republicans and Democrats so it's hard to point a partisan finger.

He's in private practice now but probably wouldn't mind adding a notch for nailing a corrupt President.

But he might persuade someone from his administration to take the job, if it was offered to them.

Apparently, only Republicans can investigate Democrats and only Republicans can investigate Republicans.

Interesting how that works, isn't it?

Obama was the greatest President of my lifetime. He is inspirational, visionary, cool, intelligent, and wickedly efficient. He's also just an all-decent guy. I will forever admire him.

That said, he's not a prosecutor. We need an experienced, practicing lawyer to take the reins of this situation. Obama is many great and wonderful things (probably more than I can count), but this isn't his thing.

I do apologize. This stuff is just scaring me more and more.

In hindsight, just seeing his picture made me smile.
