12. She probably won't run anyway...

Nov 2024

I watched a film she did on how Barack's presidency had affected her and her daughters (and also about how her dad acted towards her mom and the rest of their family when she was growing up and how his back was so often turned away from the family just sitting in his chair and watching TV)...

I felt sad about that and thought about my dad and so many of my uncles and other men I knew were the same way with their families...

I felt sad thinking about how many times Michelle might have felt like she needed to talk with Barack but how he would be walking off away to some important meeting or another and be just absolutely unable to talk and how after 8 years of that how sad and lonely she might have felt at times (she mentioned a bad day she had where they were all running late and how she forgot something important during a speech she gave) and still even though I know how Barack did take time to be close with her yet there had to be many times where he was just unable to...

Also in those 8 years their daughters grew up and how many times was he too busy (who knows but I'm sure he tried to make time as much as he could and I'm pretty sure his daughters know they are very much loved by both of their parents) and I don't blame him at all because he was working for us. but I also know that it took a toll on him and we saw his hair turn grey which also made me a little sad because he was so young a full of so much energy when he started his presidency...

Anyway she expressed how stressful it was and how hard it had been so I'm pretty sure she won't ever run. I'd be happy though if she ever decides to. I just don't think she ever will...
