Former President Barack Obama announced Wednesday that he plans to invite civic leaders to Chicago next month to exchange ideas and plan ways to solve some of the world’s common problems.
The inaugural Obama Foundation leadership summit “will be a place to gather and learn from one another, and then go back to your communities to lead others in the hard work of change,” Obama said in a video and email released to supporters.

what, target practice?
exchange ideas and plan ways to solve some of the world’s common problems.
First time he’s been in Chicago since who can remember. Is his old house up to his standards or will he be bunking at Man’s Country?
This asshole should solve Chicago’s problems first.
hmmmm... start by ending the constant killing in certain Chicago neighborhoods.....
he’ll hold up Chicago as a model city for the others.
He doesnt want to solve problems. He wants to create them.
buy stock in companies that manufacture bullet proof vests, asap.
So now we have the Obama Foundation, in addition to the Clinton Foundation??
Will this make for hard choices for liberals, to decide how much to contribute to each???

And someone else will pay for all of these great minds to go to this meeting. All these people will have their expenses reimbursed by their think tanks or universities or employers or political groups which sponsor them.
Doesn't Willie Clinton already have something like this?
The community organizer still at it.
The community agitator back at work.
Hey Kenyan,
You aren’t President any more; if you reserve rooms for all of these hundreds, make sure you can cancel the reservations without charge.
Being held is Southside Chicago, is it?
He loves his little summits that nothing ever comes out of.
And it might be wise to make sure the ones coming from out of the country leave to go back when it’s over. Friends and relatives of his seem to stick around long past their stay.

They’re meeting on Halloween?
