Thoughts on a Post Presidency Barack Obama

President Barack Obama has been hinting, quite strongly, that he will be active in politics after he leaves the Presidency.  He is relatively young, so he can be expected to be around for two to three decades. In spite of most ex-presidents staying out of the political sphere, with some exceptions by Presidents Carter and Clinton, this activity will be quite unusual.  But I do not expect it to be a bad thing for the Republic.  Here is why:

The Democrats have built him into a cult of personality that makes Bill Clinton look pale (pun intended).  The party will not be able to resist his takeover, now that the Clinton machine has been discredited with the defeat of Hillary Clinton.


The Democrat party will move even further to the left under Barack.  His appeal will only be reduced as he no longer has the full power and status of the Presidency.  The establishment media will gradually grow tired of his harangues, that will not be tempered by a bevy of advisers and speechwriters, and kept on track by teleprompters.  Barack is already famous for gaffes when he goes impromptu, and he will be doing that much more frequently as a private party.

Barack will take the Democrat party down to a minority party status.



The establishment media has lost control of the narrative with the election of Donald Trump.  The technological arrow has been pointing in this direction for two decades now, and there is no reason to believe it will reverse anytime soon.

Barack has never been one to easily take outside counsel.  He will not let the Democrat part move toward the center. This will continue for decades.

No one will be able to say no to the affirmative action president, and his false assumptions about reality will drive the Democrats to further defeats.

Good luck, as head of the Democrat Party, Mr. President!

He wanted the UN gig. Looks like that’s on hold.

Having easily eclipsed Carter as the worst President in US history, he will now go on to establish a new record for worst ex-President.

There, fixed it.

I hope he stays around as a Democrat strategist. Maybe he could work at the DNC or some Democrat think tank. If he works on behalf of the Democrats with the same success he worked on behalf of the country, we’ll never see another Democrat in the WH in our lifetimes. So, go for it, Barky!

I think he should be a spokesman for GITMO as an inmate.

The criminal & traitor should be waterboarded first to find out who he really is.

If Trump and Sessions have the stones to investigate and prosecute even a few of the Democrat crimes in which Obozo is implicated, he will opt for a quiet retirement in a country with non-extradition. Pizzagate is HUGE! Benghazi isn't done yet, either. Failure to enforce every law he didn't like, especially immigration makes him very vulnerable. And just who did kill those gays who were set to go on tv about their love affairs with him?

Can’t Hussein ‘teach’ his anti-American bilge with his BFF Bill Ayers?

Good one! I second the motion!

The opposite of justice is mercy. The opposite of charity has something to do with Kongress, or the $enate...
