Former President Barack Obama announced Sunday that he has tested positive for Covid-19. "I've had a scratchy throat for a couple days, but am feeling fine otherwise," he said on his official Twitter account. Mr. Obama also said that his wife, former first lady Michelle Obama, has tested negative. "Michelle and I are grateful to be vaccinated and boosted," the former president said in a Facebook post. "It's a good reminder that, even as cases go down, you should get vaccinated and boosted if you haven't already to help prevent more serious symptoms and giving COVID to others." Mr. Obama had recently returned to Washington after spending much of the winter in Hawaii. He tested positive in D.C., a person close to him said.

I guess the elites can come off of HCQ now that it’s a head cold.

Well it sure took a lot of years to finally hear something “positive” about Obama.

Yeah, I was only referring to his cigarette chain-smoking and rooting for COVID.

“It’s a good reminder that, even as cases go down, you should get vaccinated and boosted if you haven’t already to help prevent more serious symptoms and giving COVID to others.”

“prevent...giving COVID to others.”

He still can’t say a sentence without having a lie in it somewhere.

There was a lot of speculation back then that he would be heading up the U.N. back in 2019. I remembered from back then he was ineligible. Hell, he was ineligible for POTUS but that didn’t stop him.

Your reference doesn’t really denote that a secgen of the UN CANNOT come from one of those top 5 countries. It is just that it is unlikely.

Q. What qualifications and skills should a Secretary-General have?

A. According to the officials who were drawing up plans for the UN during World War II, the Secretary-General should be young and have diplomatic or political experience. Most importantly, the Secretary-General should know “when to force an issue and be dynamic” or when to “be content as purely administrative official; and when on a middle course be a moderator....”

In reality, when it comes time to appoint a Secretary-General, it is purely a political decision. During the Cold War, qualifications and leadership qualities came second to the U.S. and Soviet Union being able to agree on a nomination. These days, the most important factor is whether the permanent members of the Security Council, especially the U.S., will back the candidate. It’s been said that when looking for a Secretary-General, some of the permanent members look for someone who will be “more secretary than a general.”

One quality shared by past Secretaries-General is that they have all been career diplomats for their own countries. Kofi Annan is the first Secretary-General who has risen through the ranks of the United Nations. Another essential skill is the ability to speak English and French, two of the six official languages of the UN.

There’s no rule that says he can’t.

But, as a practical matter, the Secretary-General of the United Nations is a position that requires the approval of the Security Council, meaning it is subject to the disqualifying disapproval (the “veto power”) of the council’s permanent members.

It is highly unlikely that any citizen from any one of the permanent members, let alone one who had held the country’s most prominent governmental position, would find the needed votes in their favor from each of the other four nations.

“...the Secretary General may not come from the five permanent members...The permanent members are US, England, France, Russia and China.”

I thought he is a citizen of the world or some kind of crap, not the US.

As a practical matter one of the Permanent Five will always object. Its in the DNA of bureaucrats to do so.

As far as Obammy, the whole world knew what a lightweight he is so he wouldn’t have been elected by the voting body.

Yeah, just another load of b.s. that escaped his lips. I wish someone would spike his weed with a good dose of fentanyl so he would go into a coma and not bother us for the rest of eternity.

"Former President Barack Obama tests positive for Covid-19"

He's in no danger. He's exempt from obamacare.
