Obama for House in 2026

Do you yearn for a president who is not cruel, vindictive, racist, hateful, a liar, corrupt, a convicted felon, and a wannabe dictator, and for a Congress not typified by our own MAGA toady Republican Michael Baumgartner?

Do you yearn for someone like Barack Obama who, in fact, is currently trying to save our democracy? Then let’s get him to run in 2026 for a House seat currently held by a Republican — there are three in Obama’s home state of Illinois.

John Quincy Adams (1767 – 1848; 6th US president 1825 -1829) is the only president ever to serve in the House of Representatives after his presidency (for 17 years 1831-1848). At age 80 he collapsed on the floor of the House and died two days later in an adjacent room.

Adams was considered a leader in the House right up to his death and considerably more effective there than as President. He strongly opposed slavery, so it’s especially appropriate that Obama be the first former US president after Adams to serve in the House and carry on the Adams tradition.
