President Barack Obama says one of his missions after leaving office will be to develop a new generation of leaders on issues such as climate change, criminal justice reform and expanding health insurance coverage.

In a wide-ranging interview with NPR, Obama said he wants to ensure that young people working on those issues have “whatever resources, credibility, spotlight that I can bring to help them rise up.”

Obama said in the interview airing Monday that the issues he cares most about will be well served when that new generation moves into positions of authority. …

What experience can he count upon as useful to make him appear as an authority on any of these issues, pray tell.

As a community organizer I thought he was already doing that. But, no thanks, Obama, we are against Marxists. Without the media you would be nothing.

Everybody Obama campaigns for loses, so this is fine by me. He even failed to get the Olympic committee to pick Chicago for host.

Well, let's see: under his guidance, the Democrats have lost the House, Senate, and White House, along with most of the Governorships and state legislatures throughout the country.

No doubt he’ll be reviewing video of Ferguson, Baltimore, and other riots to identify those leaders who can best organize a community to burn down it’s own neighborhood in the name of civil rights or climate change or other leftist causes.

Well, since he has decimated this generation of Democrats, he has no choice but to focus on the next generation.

It speaks to his presumed skill as community organizer. When he fails to exist as president, his handlers are tossing him back to the only thing he “knows.”

Read another way, whatever "community organizer" program is set up will concentrate solely on opposition research, focused entirely on overcoming rivals before there is even an election, assuring an open path for the "chosen", by tearing down all the competition first.

The Current Occupant has never actually gone out and won an election on merit (he has little to commend him), but rather, made the opponent look so bad that he seems harmless and benign in comparison.

And this will be the basis on which future "leaders" will be chosen and propelled to electoral success.

Obama looks so weak. I never saw him as a strong leader, it was as though he was elected by mistake.
Now they write that he is sitting up a shadow government. Is that with a woman that used her title to enrich her foundation and is now under investigation by the FBI.
Michelle Obama doesn’t see or understand what has happened to our government. She thinks Obama was an out standing leader.
Hillary lost-people stepped out of the back country, cities, farmlands and every community in this country to vote against Hillary, still, she doesn’t know she lost. She thinks the will of the people was for Hillary.
I know I am rambling on—there’s just so much to process—————

IMO, he’ll be the new face/leader of BLM cult.

I believe Trump and our police departments will be able to keep them in check.

...Barack Obama says one of his missions after leaving office...

Screw you...you failed in every one of your missions while in office...why the hell would you do any better after you left it?

Just shut up and go the hell away.

I said the same thing to Billy Bob Clintoon, but noooo!...he just kept on and on and on...and now we got Barky to put up with.

And probably Sasquatch, too...down the road.

Just like the damned Clintoons.
