They’re a long way from the White House.
But here in the halls of the Marriott Marquis, covered in Barack Obama’s old logo of a rising sun for the inaugural summit of his namesake foundation, Democrats were upbeat. Organizing matters! they gushed. Internationalism was cool.
There was a morning meditation and yoga session, and an evening community concert with Chance the Rapper and The National. And in between breakout sessions with titles like “The Adventure of Civility” and “Who Narrates the World?,” people took pastel-colored chalk and filled out a blackboard customized with “I hope _______.” (Samples: “we speak better and listen,” “Americans will see each other,” “my nephews can escape toxic masculinity”).
“Therapeutic,” said one attendee. “The sanity bubble,” said another. An alternate reality, all the attendees at the kickoff of Obama’s new foundation acknowledged, some with nervous snickers, some with big, relieved belly laughs.
Here, when they talk about “the president,” they still mean Barack Obama — as if Donald Trump is still the guy they were laughing at a year ago.
What the Obama Foundation will do, no one quite knows yet — including, admittedly, the former president himself. How the newly launched outfit fits in with like-minded groups or the former president’s own vision of using civic engagement to create political change is an open question, too.
The answers provided at the summit weren’t even close to what desperate Democrats are pining for: that Obama will save them by standing up to Trump, that he’ll stop the nuclear war they’re having nightmares about, or even just provide some reassurance they might start winning House races again.

The “Death to America” crowd celebrating.
That's a laugh. It was designed to do for 0bama what the Clinton Foundation does for the Clintons - provide a constant, deep and winding river of dirty money.
Bath House is too busy smoking weed and playing video games to care. These idiots have hitched their wagon to a lazy, sway-back nag and they are too deluded to see this.
Will this end up like the “Heaven’s Gate” UFO cult of 1997?
They too were certain of their perfected form.
Certain they had all the answers one should ever need.
Yes, and the “Summit” barely filled 50 percent of the main venue. At most 5000 Obama worshippers showed up for this supposed flagship international event.
And the summit was held in Chicago, LMAO!
Doesn’t matter whether ObaMao engages or not; he is merely window-dressing, as he always has been. His puppet masters will continue to make all of the decisions and make the wheels turn. They are hoping to build a money machine modeled on the Clintons’ corrupt dealing gs.
The Obama Foundation was to be like the Clinton Foundation, but a funny thing happened on the way to the Foundation. They saw donations dry up, speaking engagement fees reduced or eliminated. They are on the outs. $$$ is hard to come by.
Obama has never had a new, creative idea. He’s never run anything but his mouth. Maybe Valerie can step in and run is foundation as she did the White House when he was there..
[“The sanity bubble,” said another.]
Well, of course. Because when one talks sanity, the name Barack Hussein Obama shows up.
I suppose when one is delusional and following a pathological liar and Manchurian Candidate, there’s a new definition of “sanity” - which has nothing to do with actual sanity, of course. Maybe “in” was accidentally left off.
Obama is to sanity as:
1) darkness is to light
2) lies are to truth
3) evil is to good
4) antimatter is to matter
Simple. It's to raise money to fund Obama's retirement.

Ha. Where to begin?
The jokes are writing themselves LOL.
The “civility” thing would be hilarious were it not so evil in its lies.
I know I always look to “Chance the Rapper” when I need guidance.
Well, maybe not....
They should just awarded a Peace Prize and left to drift off into their own little world.
When do they bring in the homos?
