Michelle Obama on giving a new generation of politicians

a chance and an esteemed position in society for elder states people to gravitate to.

Real leaders make room and opportunities for others. Michelle Obama explains that political leaders hang on too long and itâ€™s a problem. I definitely agree.

Young people certainly have. They are the ones that see their futures seriously threatened. The "elders" need to get the hell out of the way so that the next generation can lead the country, not back to "normalcy", but into and entirely new future.

Full disclosure, I'm an old fart, but I'm 100% behind moving away from the old days and ways.
