Obama envisions creating 'a million young Barack Obamas' during speech in Japan
The Washington Examiner ^ | March 25, 2018 08:01 AM | Daniel Chaitin

Former President Barack Obama talked about his future plans for his post-presidency life at a conference Sunday in Japan, addressing how he might shape "a million" new, young leaders in his mold.

The wide-ranging discussion repeatedly touched on the Obama Foundation's efforts to engage the digital space to help young people in the U.S. and across the world get connected.

"If I could do that effectively, then -- you know -- I would create a hundred or a thousand or a million young Barack Obamas or Michelle Obamas," Obama said. "Or, the next group of people who could take that baton in that relay race that is human progress."

During the discussion, Obama acknowledged the great potential that young people have in making a difference, pointing to the March for Our Lives anti-gun violence demonstrations, led by high schoolers, in Washington, D.C., and around the globe. He also knocked "old men" in power.

"A lot of our problems are caused by old men. No offense, men, who are old," he quipped.

The former president bemoaned the current news and social media environments in which people are too easily able to find news that fits their personal narratives and signaled that he is seeking a way to create a more productive forum.

The millions of “Obamas” and millions of “Hoggs” will cancel each other out. As long as we do not let them tread on us, I say let them eat their own and FOAD. The real problem are the politicians most of whom should be swinging.

Of course he wants to create a million young homos. It’s what all perverts want.

Odd he should be so well received in Japan. By and large most Asians are very bigoted towards blacks.

Meh. A petri dish and a swab from a toilet seat would do it.

It must involve mega-doses of estrogen and a Karl Marx summer camp.

So.........Obama fancies himself as a leader. Eight years experience seems to say otherwise.
