Obama is young enough to have a massive influence as ex president. What is his role post Jan 20?

[seiger]

What do you do when you are ex president.

Retire and die is the usual response.

Trouble is Obama is 15 years younger than the next president, and is in fact the 5th youngest president in history. He is the 12th youngest ex president in history.

In real terms he is the one of the most powerful ex presidents in history, in a lot of ways. And certainly in our generation.

He may comfortably have won a third term, unlike clinton he is not leaving the white house mirred in scandal, or failure like W bush. he doesnt have the negative rep of jimmy carter, and has never lost an election. the only other one in living memory is jfk, and obviously he never got to be an ex president in life.

A good example of a seemingly similar example is tony blair in the uk. He never lost an election and retired to fly around the world giving speeches and living in a weird bubble of significance but never the critical political figure he had been.

like an undefeated boxer, comebacks were mentioned from time to time, but iraq hung around his neck far heavier than any achievements, and his own legacy politically was dismantled as the labour party became increasingly detached from his example and increasingly unelectable. if anything, the tories seemed to learn more from blair than his own party.

obama is probably one of the most successful ex presidents in history, and has no scandals against his name either. something neither of his would be successors could manage in an election cycle.

what is his role post trump, and how do you deal with having a predecessor more powerful than you are?

Obama's role is to not interfere.

But Obama will be the "whiner in chief" when Trump starts Making America Great Again.

He will attack white culture, encourage ghetto culture, racial and ethnic divide, and promote globalism. He will preach against American liberty and encourage us to hand over our rights to the U.N. He will continue manipulating idiots. Add in a dash of non specific global warming and Russian fear mongering and you've got post presidential Obama.

What stage of grief is seiger in guys?

How was Tony Blair similar to an undefeated boxer?

Blair approvals ratings were ridiculously low around his 3rd term election(one he just scraped by, despite the Tories being in complete disarray with poor leadership). He was forced out by his own MPs/Backbenchers because of his misleading the country over the Iraq War, hence the term "Bliar".

The reason he faded from the political scene was because his name became political poison in the U.K. and was always pushing himself for higher roles within the EU (envoy to Middle East for 8 years whilst trying to politic his way in to EU presidency)

Motherfucker should've been tried for war crimes.

Trump is going to shut that bum up so fast Obama's Muslim head will explode like a roadside bomb.

Lead black people in a war on white america?

He's been trying to get blacks riled up and create division since he got in office.
And he did a pretty good job of it.

I remember when the knockout game got popular with some urban blacks going around sucker punching innocent white people. I sorta woke up to what was happening and why. And it's gotten much worse since then.

Stupid idea for 13% to cause a ruckus with about 60%+ of the population.

 

[SouthoftheAndes]

I hope he goes away but he wont.

He won't be head of the UN thank god and won't be a Supreme court pick thank god.

So best case scenario is he becomes Zuckerbergs bitch for their planned digital online media thing. Obama is the least dangerous under Zucks thumb with no official power.

 

[GtehMVP]

He'll come out of the closet after big Mike admits the truth.

It is stupid. But Obama and the liberal media literally have some people convinced that Trump and cops are gonna exterminate minorities. Yeah some actually think that.

 

[heloder]

As this thread has so readily proven: He will continue to aggravate the unintelligent, frightened white bigot demographic simply by being an intelligent, successful, liberal black man.

Hopefully he'll stay in politics and get the DNC's shit together so we can kick Trump out in 2020 (on the off chance that he hasn't been impeached by then).

Well it could happen

Half that white population hates themselves and would join in a crusade against whitey. And then another quarter of whites are cowards. So yeah
