But perhaps the most intriguing bit was when, in a brief discussion of Obama’s plans for his post-presidency, Obama hinted that he planned to start speaking out more like an activist than a president.

There are “things,” he told Goodwin, “that in some ways I suspect I’m able to do better out of this office.” He elaborated that because of the “institutional constraints” of the presidency, “there are things I cannot say.”

He went on to essentially say he wanted to use his post-presidential bully pulpit more like an activist than a venerable elder statesman. “There are institutional obligations I have to carry out that are important for a president of the United States to carry out, but may not always align with what I think would move the ball down the field on the issues that I care most deeply about,” he said.

Hussein has been faking it all this time?

[okie01]

Could he be more consumed with self-importance?

[JohnnyP]

Rush predicted this.

[Gaffer]

I guess he’s saying he’s gonna be out there in front of those BLM protests with a megaphone.

[Williams]

I’ve always thought he will be a far bigger embarrassment than Carter. He’s a closet Marxist, racist & Muslim. Plus he’s an empty suit, professorial elitist leftist.

Al sharpton and Jesse jahackson, get ready to moooove ovah.

[exDemMom]

So, he’s going to go full steam ahead with his agenda to destroy race relations?

Lucky for us, no one can force us to watch him as he spouts his racist hatred.

[Ronin]

He’s going for UN Sec Gen.

[Bullish]

What part of America hasn’t this creepy marxist shit on already?

[JustaCowgirl]

He’s going to agitate for open insurrection against the government if Trump wins, guaranteed.

[Ann Archy]

He’ll be LEADING the RIOTERS!!

[Chickensoup]

This man will be the Stalin-Hitler-Mao of his age.

He has all the qualities.

nobody is immortal

[opbuzz]

In other words he’s going to do some Jesse Jackson on some corporate ass using a few Soros dollars on the way.

[Islander7]

He’ll be LEADING the RIOTERS!!

...and he'll have Secret Service protection paid for by you and me.

[Mark17]

When has that chump been polite? It might increase some people’s loathing of him.

[CASchack]

Al sharpton and Jesse jahackson, get ready to moooove ovah.

More likely, Calypso Louie.

I hope you do Sparky....anything this clown touches that has to do with sports reveals so much, from a fat lip to a kid saying he dresses and throws like a girl ...it always ends ugly. I hope in his case in prison

[flaglady47]

After Obama is out of office, he’ll be going to jail, do not pass GO; straight to jail. He’ll have the cell next to Hillary’s.
