President Barack Obama has been discussing a post-presidential career in digital media and is considering launching his own media company, according to multiple sources who spoke on background because they were not authorized to speak for the president.
Obama considers media to be a central focus of his next chapter, these sources say, though exactly what form that will take a show streaming on Netflix, a web series on a comedy site or something else remains unclear. Obama has gone so far as to discuss launching his own media company, according to one source with knowledge of the matter, although he has reportedly cooled on the idea of late.
When contacted for comment, White House communications director Jen Psaki told Mic in a statement, "While the president will remain actively engaged in inspiring young people and he is interested in the changing ways people consume information, he has no plans to get into the media business after he leaves office. . ."

[Maybe he could buy the Blaze.]
I’ll predict right now: Stabby the Clown Glenn Beck will have him on as a guest.
Let’s see if I am incorrect.

I’m afraid you’ll have to direct those requests to his father, Satan.
Obama made sure to eliminate “God” from several sources. This was not by accident. Ever.
Ergo, no surprise the Democrats booed “God” and Jerusalem as the capital of Israel.
Who has the list? If there’s not a list, there should be....

Remember Mario the Pious. He had a radio program for liberals to counter Rush, etc. How long did that last?

Since the Foundation money making machine has been exposed I guess he’s going to launder his money through Fake News. He’s wore out his welcome and I wish he’d shut up and go away. I can’t listen to his voice one more second.

ROTFLOL - remembering when Sarah Palin bought a nice, luxurious bus to travel the countryside. Than our POS in DC had to buy one as well. He went 20 miles, possibly less and attempted to fool the public by silently flying from destination to destination.
Bring it on, you POS You’ll NOT be using taxpayer’s money to begin your new adventure in media.
Mr. Trump, your future plans have stirred the POTus

Whatever this guy does, if it doesn't include Window Dressing Community "Action", is doomed to fail. He's not smart, clever or popular enough to make anything else work. And now that he's used up his potus chit, why would anybody want to back him for anything?

I don’t see Barack Hussein as a good fit for comedy. Make him the new voice for horror - a modern Bela Lugosi or Vincent Price.

Given his lack of skills its doomed for failure.
Who said he was going to do it?
Like everything else he got involved in, somebody else will do it, and he'll take the credit for it. And, he'll be out golfing while phoning in final approval of whatever.
