At 54 and soon to be unemployed (though with a nice pension and a feast of travel perks), Barack Obama may well believe that theres still something in the political world ahead for him. Congress has nothing for an ex-president been there and done that. But there are options.

That would require foreign leaders to actually like Obama. And I don't think that's the case.
If she wins, she doesn’t have to worry about her crimes...the Department of Justice will be even more politicized than it has been under Bill Clinton and Barack Obama. Maybe he is trying to parlay an endorsement for a large transfer of cash from the Clinton Foundation to the Obama Foundation. Right now she is getting almost all of the black vote without him, but his endorsement could be helpful in the fall for increasing voter turnout.
