Over lunch with a small group in Milwaukee, President Barack Obama on Thursday said he plans to stay in Washington D.C. for a couple of years after his presidency so that his youngest daughter can finish high school.

It has long been speculated that the first family might stay in Washington after Obama leaves the White House. The president, though, made it sound as if it were a done deal.

Obama was having lunch with four women and one man — all of whom had written him letters about the Affordable Care Act — at Engine Company No. Three, a restaurant in Milwaukee. They talked about the weather and the Midwest.

1. Good. Then he can join the Supreme Court!

I hope Pres. Hillary Clinton nominates him to Scalia's empty spot on the Supreme Court come February or so, in a giant FU to the Republicans for obstructing his Supreme Court nomination.

This is what the Republicans' heads will look like

5. +100x

Even if he only agreed to stay on a couple of years and pass off to another Democratic appointee

13. I think

That would be a great idea for President Bernie Sanders.

I honestly don't think he would accept. Most want to stay away from politics once they leave office.

2. Pool on how quickly the nutcases spin this to imply he's planning on staying in power?

I'd venture by noon tomorrow...

3. He has to finish establishing Marshall law in Texas first.

6. Took me a few seconds but I got the joke.

7. "Marshall law"

and "mute point" drive me crazy.

9. Me too. If you're on Facebook at all, follow the page "Grammerly". Big fan. :) nt

10. I'm not on Facebook or Twitter

but I'd imagine that the page you suggested has all kinds of things to make me curl up and cry inside.

[silvershadow]

11. Facebook, Twitter, and such indeed would. Grammerly is like a breath of fresh air

when it comes across my feed.

12. I could care less....

...really, you could?

[silvershadow]

14. Yes. I could. I care quite a bit. :D nt

[Trust Buster]

15. Aw, have you done lost their sense of humor ?

[Aerows]

16. You assume I had one to lose! n/t

17. I am not surprised to hear that he and Michelle would do this for Sasha.

In fact, I'd been expecting it.

[tanyev]

18. OMG! He's declaring himself president for life!!

That's when he's going to take away everybody's guns!!!1!

19. "The president, though, made it sound as if it were a done deal."

Wait until Michelle hears about this!!

[treestar]

20. That is really great of them.

They put their kids first.

[Major Hogwash]

21. It will give me even more reasons to go to Washington, D.C. next year.

I will be able to get pictures of me standing next to the President, President Sanders, and then go have a cold beer with the former President, President Obama.

I like the idea of doing just that!!
