Many people seem to miss president Barack Obama. Even conservative Max Boot says “How I miss Barack Obama. His presidency appears to be a lost golden age when reason and morality reigned. All of his faults, real as they were, fade into insignificance compared with the crippling defects of his successor. And his strengths — seriousness, dignity, intellect, probity, dedication to ideals larger than self — shine all the more clearly in retrospect.”
And Max is not the only one to miss Obama.
Now that the midterms are over, people are considering running for president of the United States and some of those people are friends of Barack Obama-here are a few to consider.
Eric Holder!
Eric Holder was Barack Obama’s Attorney general from 2009 to 2015.
Holder says he will decide if he will run for president by early 2019.
With former president Barack Obama's backing. former Attorney General Eric Holder is leading a new party effort to redraw the jurisdictional lines, thus ending gerrymandering,
The National Democratic Redistricting Committee-the NDRC, is building a targeted, state-by-state strategy that ensures Democrats can fight back and produce fairer maps in the 2021 redistricting process.
Great work! The USA needs fairer elections.
Will Eric Holder run for president of the United States in 2020? He has not yet announced but we wish him luck if he does.
Joe Biden!
Joseph Biden was Barack Obama’s vice president from 2009 to 2017.
Biden had family issues in 2016 but if he had ran for president in 2016 many people think he would have won. Will Joe run in 2020?
Vanity Fair thinks a Biden presidency is worth considering. Spoiler alert Biden is not ruling out 2020. Trump claims he would love to run against Biden in 2020.
Here at the Strangest Adventures we like Joe Biden for president of the United States but wonder if the US needs younger leadership now.
John Kerry!
Speaking of older leader ship, John Kerry was Obama’s second secretary of state.
John Kerry ran for president in 2004 but he was swift-boated and lost to George W. Bush.
Obama made Kerry his second SOS and he did his job well but Trump is not a fan.
But now Kerry sounds like a 2020 candidate according to Politico.
Kerry was quite angry after Trump withdrew the United States from the Paris climate accord,
Kerry once told the British newspaper The Guardian “People are going to die because of the decision Donald Trump made.”
Obama has other friends too but perhaps they are long shots to run for president of the United States of America.
The Rock!
Dwayne Johnson, also known as The Rock, is multi-talented and has played college football for the University of Miami. He has also been a professional wrestler and still is an actor and producer.
Will he run for president of the United States in 2020? Maybe.
We say his lack of political experience rules him out but then Trump had no political experience either.
Oprah Winfrey!
Oprah Winfrey is possibly one of the most famous women in America.
She turned a job as a TV news anchor into a career hosting a talk show. then transitioned her hit talk show into a media and business empire.
Oprah supported Barack Obama as a presidential candidate.
One year Oprah Winfrey gave a rousing speech at the Golden Globes, afterwards many people thought she should run for president.
At the Strangest Adventures we also know that everyone should consider the irrational, pseudoscientific fantasy land Oprah helped create in the United States Of America.
We do not approve of Oprah promoting scientifically dubious theories.
Some people have suggested that Oprah Winfrey should run to become president of the United States. We disagree but who knows who will run in 2020? We can hardly wait to find out.
