Obama must be thinking “how do I make a similar amount of money after leaving office as Bill Clinton?” Since he probably doesn’t intend to hold any offices that would allow him to shake down foreign donors like Hillary did, maybe he plans to demand a share of Hillary’s stash (where did that missing $6 billion go?) in return for squelching any prosecution (and giving her a pardon if she thinks it necessary—if she wins in November she won’t need one since she will control the DOJ).
His federal and Illinois state Senate pensions, book royalties and advances from his and Michelle’s memoirs, speaking fees plus corporate board salaries will supply the Obama’s with many millions.
His federal pension alone is $203,700 a year, $20,000 a year for Michelle plus $150,000 a year funding for staff, lifetime Secret Service protection and free health insurance.
Well, there's the "small matter" of Federal agents being perceived as "legitimate", versus being mere gunthugs for the realm.
