It’s 2018, and Barack Obama leans toward the computer in his Chicago townhouse and punches in the title of his memoir. He enjoys the silence and the solitude. It’s been over a decade since he had time to write. This is Obama’s third memoir and probably not the last. Aged only 57, his story is still in mid-stream. What next? Go back to teaching law? Charitable work? Whichever avenue he pursues, Obama can take encouragement from sky-high approval ratings. As soon as he departed the White House, Obama’s polling numbers started to pick up. Now, he’s one of the most admired men in America. People even see a touch of King or Mandela.
This optimistic vision may seem outlandish today, as Obama’s approval rating is stuck in the mid-40s, the Tea Party depicts him as an un-American socialist, and progressives tire of endless fighting in the Middle East. Many people have mentally checked out from his presidency. But the way that Americans think about Obama today is not the way they will see him in three or five years’ time.

A rotted, rabid America-hating ex President like Jimmy Carter? That way?
The article might be right - his myth will grow when he is no longer in a position to do actual damage. “Barack the Noble Healer” visiting Third World children in his African robes could become a revered global figure...because so many on the Left desperately need a King to worship.
I fully expect the Obama’s to be desperately searching for relevance and acceptance in “his” post american world.
I wondered what kind of twit could write something like this. I googled Dominic and I found out why. He looks like a pedophile to me.
As if he’s leaving.
“Aged only 57, his story is still in mid-stream. “
Something like a painful urination...
There better be a push to criminally convict him after he’s out of office.
Based on my theory that.......the only reason Michelle hung around the doofus thus far is that he dangled the numerous WH wire-transfers stashed offshore in front of her greedy self.
Such as those billion$ that “disappeared” from State Department accounts.
miss him please I cannot stand the guy right now wish he would go away i am so sick of seeing his ugly puss plastered everywhere that I have to stop turning on the tele.
“History is written by men who have hanged heroes.”
The Left owns the libraries, the colleges, the schools, the media and the young mush-brains.
What story do you THINK they’ll tell?
Yea!I’ll miss Obama just like I’ll miss a Migrain headache.I look foreward to him putting himself out of our countries misery.
LOL....he sure as heck won’t be in Chicago. The “Obama Presidential Library” will be in Hawaii with a great view and beach access, and in close proximity to a golf course.
I suspect that there will be something akin to the “Carter Institute” (or whatever that abortion is actually called) to give the “O” an excuse for continuing to intrude his opinions into our lives.
My opinion is that this opinion writer is writing his piece from Colorado with some good bud going and a fine Rocky Mountain High! In the first place - Chicago town house?! With the public pension problems and taxes he’d be facing?
Yeah, that Mary Jane can really mess up your thinking!
"...affirmative action president...."

The Obama bio waiting to be written: “How a Half Black, US-Hating Dude w/ mental deficiencies and gross incompetence became president by duping a nation.”
Fixed what Liz wrote:
The Obama bio waiting to be written: “How a Half Black, US-Hating Dude w/ mental deficiencies and gross incompetence became president promoted by a duplicitous agenda driven socialist media deceiving a nation.”
Yeah, I will miss Obama.
Like a dog misses fleas.
i can’t see him bothering to do things like that. He can barely force himself to leave the links while he’s in office even for the sake of the “optics”, I believe he will feel relieved that he doesn’t have to bother anymore once he’s out of office. This is the man who didn’t care how it looked that he slept through the Benghazi attack.
