Obama considering post-presidential digital media career, sources say
Mic Newtwork ^ | December 2, 2016 | By Jake Horowitz

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. . ."

Ha! What a joke that will be... I give it about two years until the outfit is hemorrhaging cash because of the lack of viewers.

Bring it, BHO. Overexposure. Overexposure. The more you do this stuff, the more natural it will be to expect parodies and satire from all sorts of sources. Meanwhile, you suck the air out of the room for future leftists.

What the hey, there’s money to be made!

Given his lack of skills it’s doomed for failure.

Obama’s legacy is already trashed.

But I wonder if these AH’s have any idea how bad they’re going to look when America starts winning again and again?

Great

Now folks who want to be patronized and lectured by a stuttering mumbling community organizing Doofus can have their own show

Will Mooch narrate travelogues or recipes?

Barry...write a couple of more autobiographies,make a half dozen speeches a year and you'll be worth $50 million in no time.Combine that with your generous Presidential pension (and perks) for life (adjusted for inflation) and you'll be fine.

Given that fact you should just shut the f*** up.You've done more than enough damage to this country.You're already the worst President of my (long) lifetime...the Peanut Farmer being a distant second.Do you also want to eclipse him to be the worst *ex* President as well?
