If you believe recent media accounts, the former Democratic president has suddenly transcended the political fray. Its as if a newly Zen-like Barack Obama is content to just write his memoir and let Donald Trump and Republicans write the next chapter of history.
In a cover story asking Where is Barack Obama? for example, New York magazine concluded that the 44th president has virtually disappeared from the political scene and is sitting idly by as his legacy is dismantled piece by piece. From an exclusive interview, the periodical concluded Obama was modeling his political engagement out of office after George W. Bushs that is, staying out of the rough-and-tumble of politics, maintaining distance from his former office and resigning himself to be an elder statesman fading into the sunset.

Obama is doing far more to shape the political landscape than is visible. In fact, for an ex-prez, hes taking an unusually active role in politics, including helping radical protest groups fight Trump and his policies and devising a scheme to flip the GOP majority in the House and permanently turn red seats blue.
From his sprawling DC office not far from the White House, where he oversees a full-time staff of 20, Obama has held regular meetings with Democratic lawmakers, as well as DNC chief Tom Perez, whom he personally helped install to run the Democratic Party. Obama has also met with his attorney general, Eric Holder, to craft a strategy to redraw congressional district maps in Democrats favor, according to Politico. Holder now runs the National Democratic Redistricting Committee, which Obama helped his old friend launch.

Back to the here and now, “What did the President know and when did he know it?”
He can't dump the Chicago house until the dump in the park is a done deal.
He hasn’t disappeared. He won’t shut the f up about anything.
I say let him loose———he has done more for the resurgence of conservatives and Republicans than anyone out there.

The best move Zero could ever make, would be to run for president of Kenya, and then use his magical tingle power to bring some sort of peace and organization to the tribal mess loosely called Africa. That should occupy him for the next 40 years.
Probably unpaid advisors...
As soon as I heard Netflix was hiring this flaming traitor and his wife, I called and cancelled my subscription. The young man on the phone said he'd received quite a few such calls. So Odungo and his wife won't be getting a dime from me toward that salary.
