In his recent podcast interview with comedian Marc Maron, President Obama reflected on the passing of time. His daughters are growing older and have less time to hang with their dad. “I’ve got to start thinking, well, what’s going to replace that fun,” he said.

Good question, and it goes for the rest of Obama’s life as well. In eighteen months he will be an ex-president, term-limited and out of a job. Just fifty-five, the former leader of the free world will still be in the prime of life.

Obama hasn’t said what he has in mind for his next act. His options are virtually endless. What he decides is going to matter—especially to Hillary Clinton and the Democratic Party.

Assuming she is nominated, Hillary can’t be elected president in 2016 without a huge black turnout. Obama will, of course, endorse her, but his blessing can’t be lukewarm. He will have to go all out. In politics, that kind of an effort does not come without a quid pro quo.

He’d better run while the getting is good as the truth gates will open and swallow him for what he is.

Now we know why Ginsberg is hanging on. Or Roberts will be forced out.

Taft was both POTUS and SCOTUS so he wouldn't be the first.

Thought I read that Moochelle lost her law license. Of course, that shouldn’t be a problem for either of the Obamas.

There is no requirement to be a bar member or even a lawyer for that position.

Didn’t know that. That’s wild. I would have thought there was at least some requirement to know law or in some way demonstrate knowledge of the Constitution. Sheesh!
