Many U.S. presidents, upon leaving office, try to fade from the national spotlight and live the rest of their lives as private citizens.
President Barack Obama implied in a Vanity Fair interview that he might choose to go a different route.
In the interview conducted by presidential historian Doris Kearns Goodwin, Obama talked about his use of the term “radical Islam,” how he would miss Air Force One and his desire to make the world better.
Then there’s a short bit where he hints at what life after the presidency might look like for him, a relatively young 55 years old as he exits the office. He says there are some things he suspects he’ll be able to accomplish better after being president.
“Having had this office has given me this incredible perch from which to see how the world works. The power of the office is unique and it is a humbling privilege,” Obama said. “With that power, however, also comes a whole host of institutional constraints. There are things I cannot say.

monkey see, monkey do?
No one listens to him now
You knew Mr. All About ME would not keep his mouth shut.
Obama is never going away. Ultimately, he will return to the lead the liberals.
Confirms what an a$$#### our Dear Leader is.
How could he possibly be more vocal?
Dude, the time to be a politician and deal with political issues, isn’t that when you’re in office? I thought that was the whole idea of running.
Cool, be vocal all you want as long as you are OUT of the White Hut . . . but nobody will listen to you then, either.
What I really hope though is that you do a whole lot of squealing like a pig in Leavenworth.
Like he’ll be more “flexible” with KGB Putin on missile defense and nukes in his 2nd term. He kept his promise there. Treasonous POS.
Trump is going to hit back at Obama so hard, and so low, that he’ll go silent.
Obama isn’t going to be one of Trumps, or America’s, problems after January.
Obama is never going away. Ultimately, he will return to the lead the liberals.
na , Obama will sound like that crazy uncle or aunt
I’m wondering what position they will create in the DNC to facilitate that? Most Gracious Benevolent Dear Leader Endowed Chair?
It is almost as if we elected The one who hates America the most as president.
I guess I should have left the “almost” out of that statement.
Today the Peanut Farmer is the worst *ex* President of my lifetime.But my hunch is that before too long he be eclipsed for *that* title too.
Excellent news, the narcissist liberal fascist muzzie undocumented puppet getting prime time and all his coming unprecedented whining and inappropriate rancor will remind the public of why Trump is sitting in the White House and all the work that has to be done to restore law and order, with coming economic, financial market, and healthcare downfall. Obummer will do so from non extradition country as investigations start IRS, Fast n Furious, Operation Zero Footprint (Benghazi), Iran deal and more we don’t know about...not to mention tiny issue of his birth certificate/identity fraud.
In retrospect, the one good thing about Lyndon Johnson was that he was the last Democrat president who followed this principle.
Barack sh!t! ObOzO is too lazy to work hard and nobody will care what he has to say when he can’t sign his way around doing the hard work.
There are very good reasons why the founders put natural born citizen in the Constitution.
Barry Soetoro/Barack Hussein Obama is exhibit A that they were right.
If they knew we were going to turn into blithering idiots who don’t know what words mean they would have footnoted a definition.
Born here of citizen parents, duh.
“Obama implies he’ll be more vocal about issues after he leaves office”
And 90% of the world who can’t stand king buckwheat will be more vocal about his crimes. I predict a minimum of 20 books recounting the failures of obuma.
