what's your guess?
former:
community organizer
lawyer
professor
senator
president

he's in the prime of his life
what do you think Obama will do next?


my hope is he would be offered and accept a role dealing with international issues, such as heading the well funded bill & melinda gates foundation

with his heart, intellect, and connections and that money, he could make one hell of a contribution to the world


or maybe he will take the rest of his life off and play golf in hawaii

I can't say what he'll do longterm, but I suspect the first thing will be buying a six-pack & a box of grey-go-away hair-color ... :mrgreen:

He's an excellent writer, and seems to love to write.

I bet he'll find it hard to *not* write a book somewhere down the line.

no tingle here

but what is your speculation; any idea what Obama will do next?

i had initially pondered his accepting the position of secretary-general of the UN. but suspect he is a bit tired of wading thru a bunch of ineffective political bull****

Honestly, I think Barack will follow in Bill Clinton's footsteps and kinda fade away and show up for occasional cameos when the DNC want him to say something.

Michelle is a 100% attention whore. She'll find a way to stay relevant as much as possible.

That's far too scary to contemplate as a possibility.

he has all of the credentials to be a great SC justice


but doubt he would want such a confining job (again)

Well, considering that there really aren't any qualifications for a SC justice.

When was he a professor? He didn't last long as a working lawyer?

I see him as replacing his advisor, Al Sharpton, on MSNBC and a gatherings of rich people he can con for money.

THe guy is lazy but he wants to be visible and be making an impact...which makes running a school perfect.

He might do the special envoy thing, but he is been a disappointment to most of the world, and he has never shown much interest in global affairs, so that is not a great fit.

EDIT: Actually University of Chicago would be better than an Ivy.

Help Michele start her political career. Start out with senator, maybe get a cabinet appointment along the way and we'll see her run as POTUS in 16 years. In the interim write a few books, do some speeches, start a foundation...

Good point!

She's seemingly loved in Chicago, which as a surrounding metro area makes up most of Illinois' population - so I could see Madame Senator for Michelle. :thumbs:

"Do you miss me now?" With the thought of either Trump or Clinton becoming the next president. Heck, I miss him already. As for what Obama will do, I don't have the slightest idea.

sounds vaguely familiar

and was hopeful ... at least until i learned Michelle cannot wait until their stint in the white house is over. does not sound like someone who plans a return
