Former President Barack Obama announced Wednesday that he plans to invite civic leaders to Chicago next month to exchange ideas and plan ways to solve some of the world’s common problems.

The inaugural Obama Foundation leadership summit “will be a place to gather and learn from one another, and then go back to your communities to lead others in the hard work of change,” Obama said in a video and email released to supporters.

The former president said he expects the summit, which will be Oct. 31 and Nov. 1, to bring hundreds of leaders from around the world.

The summit will be the beginning of several activities the foundation is planning, Obama said. “In the weeks and months ahead, we’ll be kicking off more initiatives and opportunities for people like you to get involved with the Obama Foundation’s mission,” he said. “That mission is simple: We want to inspire and empower people to change the world.” …

How interesting that this evil ‘Lord of the Flies’, has decided to have his ‘let’s “fundamentally change” the world’ shindig, begin on Halloween....

Also interesting that he hasn’t uttered the phrase “Yes we can” in public since over eight years ago. Guess he keeps that quiet now after people heard what it sounds like when played backwards, especially on Youtube.

Maybe he’ll gather his army there, then we can finally get it on. All this shadow government crap is getting old.

Hmmmm.... Will they be wearing personal flack jackets and/or Kevlar vests? If not, perhaps they should reconsider.

Don't discount Obama. He isn't through.

Another project will be training days which he said will teach young people how to put civics into action.

I suspect Obama's Army, Organizing for Action (OFA) is in a slump and needs encouragement.

I'd be surprised if Antifa isn't an offshoot of OFA. These people mean business, the overthrow of what remains of our republic.

Sounds like a southside shakedown is coming to Chicago.

Nothing like showing the civic leader how BLM really works in Chicago.

Wonder if he’ll lead from behind again?

DOJ/DOS needs to shut this illegitimate quasi governmental event down. Barack is a private citizen, he doesn’t meet with heads of state or their agents except by going to them, not bringing them here, unless under the aegis of our executive.

Federal statue already prohibits this type of private activity- it is called espionage/subversion. Private persons meeting with agents of foreign governments is a crime.

He is a threat to our national security, as always.
