(30,536 posts)I happen to like Michelle. I only remember questioning some fashion choices, such as those belts she used to wear early in his presidency. I have said several times that I think she's doing a fine job as first lady.
First of all, no one knows if Hillary is even interested in running again. But, if she does choose to run, I doubt that anyone will vote or not vote for her due to my opinion of Obama. That would be silly. As for people here on DU, they can do whatever they want. I'm not brow beating anybody.
What I can't abide are the hypocrites who were against Hillary in 2008 and who are now hoping that she runs in 2016. People like Chris Matthews and Nancy Pelosi, for example. Pelosi had the unmitigated gall to say yesterday that she was actually praying that Hillary would run. This is a woman who behind the scenes was twisting the arms of super delegates to switch their allegiance to Obama (even in states that were won by Hillary). I also remember her saying repeatedly to reporters (after Obama became the nominee) that it would be a mistake for him to choose Hillary as VP. She's now "praying" for her to run???? Please............

So, you want people to "let go". Easier said than done.
