I've lived a life than sees a new century, and new millennium, the first African American President,

Democrats have had some pretty amazing and powerful women as FLOTUS.

Of course, we will have to come up with a good acronym for Bill!

and I wouldn't mind seeing scalable fusion or some other clean energy solution to address the number one problem facing our species.
