Commentary: The quest to build a million Obamas [barf]
CNN ^ | May 6, 2018 | By Hunter Schwarz

Barack Obama is done being on ballots, but there will be ample opportunities to support him in 2018.

A club of young politicians is trading on his popularity and mission to kick-start their own careers. And its all part of the master plan the former President has laid out.

At 56, Obama is more popular than he's been in nearly a decade, and as an ex-president, his favorable ratings are expected to keep rising. At a time when our politics has become increasingly ugly, divisive, and crude, a political figure like Obama is rare.

In his retirement, Obama is redefining the post-presidency. Although he's generally following the career path set by his predecessors -- there's a foundation, and the library and memoir are on their way -- he's doing it bigger.

"After I left office, what I realized is the Obama Foundation could eventually create a platform for young up-and-coming leaders, both in the United States and around the world," Obama said at a conference in Tokyo in March. "If I could do that effectively, then, you know, I would create a hundred or a thousand or a million young Barack Obamas."

A million Obamas. It's one of the most ambitious goals ever for a former American president.

Minting a million new Obamas is ambitious, and if the former president is successful inspiring a next generation of progressive leaders, he could leave a political legacy that lasts far longer than his eight years in office and is independent of his time as president.

Yes, I used the Ronald Reagan “morning in America™” air freshener. Guaranteed to eliminate the foul stench of progressive crap.

A million?!?! No thanks. One Trojan horse obama weapon is one too many.

What is stupefying surprising, given our recent and ongoing experience with such things, is that roughly half of we, the people, are still acting like uniformed, infatuated teenagers, whose pining away over an unrequited, lost love has turned into anger, distrust and hatred.

A far better idea would be for US to understand 1) how the original obama was constructed and programmed and by whom, and 2) who deployed the unconstitutional obama weapon against US.

There is a growing likelihood that and more will now happen, in real time, because she wasn’t supposed to lose and then she did!!

The truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth, just might set them free, or at least free them from their anger by redirecting it at the proper target(s).

Seeing and knowing how they and we all have been played should speed up their and our recovery a bit, as well as boosting our defenses against the next time.

What an amazing time to be alive!

a combination of a roaring economy and interest in the future vs the past has made Obama old news.
 
The more time passes, the more people will come to the realization as to what a wordy know-nothing, manure shoveling empty suit he really was. Action always speaks louder than any words.
