If there had been any doubts, President Barack Obama expunged them on Friday afternoon: The outgoing president wants his labor secretary, Thomas Perez, to succeed him as the top figure in the Democratic Party.
...
“If you look at his body of work on behalf of working people, what he’s pushed for in terms of making sure that workers get a fair deal, decent wages, better benefits, that their safety is protected on the job, he has been extraordinary,” Obama said.

I think he might try for governor.
The Senate bores him.
He wants to rule.
He wants to impose his hate America, hate white people
ideology on as many people as he can.
BOL! One black Muslim is enough.
Yeah, what does our Black Muslim Potus have against another Black Muslim?
Do we have a Shia versus Sunni issue?
Yeah but being governor implies “work” & I think Illinois has term limits on Governor. I bet he goes back to that no work all glory and PERMENANT job of being US Senator.
Yes. It’s long past time that the DNC gave Ellison a voice and an audience. What he says has to be heard./heehee
“I think he might try for governor”
I cannot imagine he’d want be Governor after being President. I think he wanted SC Justice and thought he had a lock with HRC as Pres. Also there is debate whether someone could serve a third Presidential term if they sit out a term. I believe he is Narcissistic enough to consider trying it. Please don’t flame me, I just think his Ego is that big.
....because HE wants to?
Isn’t amazing that only 20 or so years ago the Dems actually had Jackson-Jefferson diners?
Now they should call them Mao-Muhammed diners.
Under obama they lost the House, the Senate, and the White House. Lost more Gov of states, . Some states like KY went all republican for the first time in decades, and over a 1000 seats.
Yep I say obama has basically destroyed the Dem party after he moved them way tot he left, nd they followed like a cult.
Obama care, open borders, PC gone over the top, no leading in the world, no foreign policy which helped America
Both of you are dead wrong. Becoming a Governor or a Senator would be going backwards in power-steps. Egos won’t allow it.
Look for him to try and become SecGen of the UN, and try to make that a Leader of the World position.
I can see him doing that, at least trying to angle his way into that position. The thing is I don’t know who would be his “advocate”. There are plenty of “needy” third world diplomats to compete with. Also I think by “tradition” its normally someone from the “unaligned” world. (Yes the outgoing Korean guy is a break from that!) Anyway the position I believe has been filled, the Korean guy just left!
I thought maybe a Sunni versus Shia argument.
As for Ellison vs. Perez, they are both awful in their own way. Perez is probably smarter, but both are radical Lefties.
If not for his skin color, no one would even know who Obama is. No way he leads the dem party into the future.
JMHO, Laz has it nailed.
...and as far as the fairly recent Change of Command at the UN, when did anything keep The 0 from getting whatever he happened to want? (With the possible exception of having his desired Chicago Olympic Games deal tossed out)
However.....
Between screwing up the Clintons' Big Scam, wrecking the Democrat party and costing all those big donors all those ill-gotten dollars/ruan/pesos/euros, just exactly who (outside of our MSM, who now have their own troubles to consider and may therefore sit out his future ploys as well) isn't going to think that The 0 isn't more trouble than he's worth and avoid him like a plague rat.
It may be that he may plan on all this grandeur but do a great big face plant with reality about a month after he gets moved outta the WH and wind up slipping back to Hawaii (or someplace else where he can feel important) and just fade out of our lives forever.
Might be a faint hope, but it couldn't happen to a more deserving SOB.
The dems have figured it out..They can have black Muslims who hate Jews,talk to working whites and say I FEEL YOUR PAIN......We will fight for you..( At least until after you vote)
I think any of those things he would consider a step down. he’s been president, and he’s a narcissist. he wouldn’t accept a lower position that actually requires work, even though I’m sure he will want to try and thwart Trump. I see him trying to start his own Clinton Foundation type gig so he can have events and pontificate I I I me me me
“I, as a white man, fully support Keith Ellison for DNC chair.”
‘Operation Chaos’ also bet on Obama in 2008...that didn’t work out very well.
Ellison would owe his loyalty to Allah and Mohammed, the Quran and Sharia Law. He didn’t convert to Islam for the free burquas.
He is also a Marxist ideologically, and a black racist in that area.
HE’S THE PERFECT CLONE OF OBAMA so why doesn’t Obama support him, unless PEREZ is more of a racist, Marxist, and psychopath than Ellison.
Perez is evil personified, a Soros in the Government, a hater that should be on the SPLC’s list of Top Racist Extremists in America.
A vile creature of the night. Wait that also describes Obama, Soros, Podesta, Ernest and Ellison.
This is getting circular - a circle of evil, if you will.
Yeah, most likely. :(
