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.

He’ll be LEADING the RIOTERS!!
He and Loretta Lynch already are
I think he is in for a surprise. We have enough no good jive azzed street corner hustlers already. Nobody wants to hear another.
He’s going to be a large, angry boil on America’s butt until he draws his last breath & he’ll “live on” in infamy thereafter.
Obola has had the heady taste of power leading the UN before, so it’s no surprise that he’s had the audacity in 2016 to indiscretely campaign for running the UN when and if he leaves in 2017.
He’s has served as UN Security Council Chair, TWICE - 2009 and in 2014.
>2014 was the second time he presided at the UN -
Obama chairs a U.N. Security Council summit today. Here’s what to expect. - The Washington Post
>From an earlier 2009 commentary the first time he presided at the UN -
Never in the history of the United Nations has a U.S. President taken the chairmanship of the powerful UN Security Council. Perhaps it is because of what could arguably be a Constitutional prohibition against doing so. To wit: Section 9 of the Constitution says:
**No Title of Nobility shall be granted by the United States: And no Person holding any Office of Profit or Trust under them, shall, without the Consent of the Congress, accept of any present, Emolument, Office, or Title, of any kind whatever, from any King, Prince, or foreign State.**
Nonetheless, the rotating chairmanship of the council goes to the U.S. this month. The normal course of business would have U.S. Ambassador to the UN Susan Rice take the gavel. However, this time will be different. Constitution be damned, Barack Hussein Obama has decided to put HIMSELF in the drivers seat, and will preside over global nuclear non-proliferation and disarmament talks slated to begin September 24th. The Financial Times says:
Barack Obama will cement the new co-operative relationship between the US and the United Nations this month when he becomes the first American president to chair its 15-member Security Council.
The topic for the summit-level session of the council on September 24 is nuclear non-proliferation and nuclear disarmament - one of several global challenges that the US now wants to see addressed at a multinational level.
UN officials also hope a climate change debate on September 22 will give fresh impetus to the search for a global climate deal at Copenhagen in December. There are also hopes a possible meeting between Benjamin Netanyahu, Israeli prime minister, and Mahmoud Abbas, Palestinian Authority president, that Mr. Obama would host, could lead to a breakthrough about a timetable for Middle East peace.
Here is what the UN Security Council does. Picture Obama as the Chair of this committee with this power.
Under the UN Charter, the functions and powers of the Security Council are:
* to maintain international peace and security in accordance with the principles and purposes of the United Nations
* to investigate any dispute or situation which might lead to international friction
* to recommend methods of adjusting such disputes or the terms of settlement
* to formulate plans for the establishment of a system to regulate armaments
* to determine the existence of a threat to the peace or act of aggression and to recommend what action should be taken
* to call on Members to apply economic sanctions and other measures not involving the use of force to prevent or stop aggression
* to take military action against an aggressor
* to recommend the admission of new Members
* to exercise the trusteeship functions of the United Nations in “strategic areas”
* to recommend to the General Assembly the appointment of the Secretary-General and, together with the Assembly, to elect the Judges of the International Court of Justice.
No American president has ever attempted to acquire the image of King of the Universe by officiating at a meeting of the UN’s highest body. Obama apparently believes that being flanked by council-member heads of state like Col. Moammar Qaddafi - who is expected to be seated five seats to Obama’s right - will cast a sufficiently blinding spell on Americans.
So nothing changes.
once an agitator, always an agitator.
That would be nice.
He’s always been a feral fraud of TRO!
We definitely want Obama as the face of the Democratic Party for as long as he can stick around.
The brain-dead electorate owns this detestable, lawless, race-obsessed, America-hating, Marxist mutt. If I passed the jug-eared jackass on the street, I wouldn’t give him the time of day.
I'm sure he can't WAIT to get in the mix at a BLM riot !
Yes...Yes...Let the hate flow through you.
You’re right!
Those two Huckster aren’t going to let their poverty pimp gig go lightly.
you mean like admitting you’re a Muslim, Hussein Obama? Or joining BDS and overtly apologizing for Hiroshima/Nagasaki (which saved American lives, even Japanese in the long term both from a shortened war and from Communist invasion)?
F you, Obama. Go back to Kenya.
Its no surprise that the BLackLivesMatter is modeled after the PLO or HAMAS in the Gaza.
Members of HAMAS were on the ground training and advising the staging of the riots and management if the media circus propaganda at the birth of BLM in Ferguson courtesy of George Soros.
BLM now has active chapters in the Gaza and the West Bank where American BLM “activists” are being flown in from the US and trained in Intifada style domestic terrorism and media management by the Palestinians terrorists. BLM members are even taking part in Palestinian operations as on the job training
BLM has also linked up with other members of the international Socio-Anarchist movement and is working internationally as evidenced by the London BLM shut down of the London Airport
Obama’s post Presidential plan is to lead a George Soris funded BlackLivesMatter version of Arafat's Intifada in America and to have BLM link up with the radical Jihadi George Soros engineered Islamic invasion of Europe to mobilize and create as much unrest as possible in the US and Europe

What a fake
Wait......he’s polite now???
All he does is speak ill of patriots and America’s founding fathers.
That’s polite in his Marxist mind???
Wont work, bozo. You were the POTUS. You HAD your chance. Start up a lot of outsider puleing and people are only going to think “Weren’t you president, asshole “?
