Obama to announce expansion of young leaders program to US

WASHINGTON (AP) — An Obama Foundation program that has trained hundreds of young leaders across Africa, the Asia-Pacific and Europe is being expanded to include the United States.

In remarks prepared for delivery on Thursday at the forum, Obama cites “consistently high interest” in the foundation’s programs as a reason for the expansion.

“The creativity, determination and passion of these leaders are already making an impact — in lives saved, environments restored, children educated,” he says. “They’re creating new models for clean energy generation and poverty alleviation. It’s remarkable and inspiring — and a little humbling, since I sure wasn’t making such an impact at their age.

The Obama Foundation Leaders program has worked with more than 700 people in Africa, the Asia-Pacific and Europe since it was launched in 2018 after Obama, a Democrat, left the White House following two terms as president, according to the foundation.

Valerie Jarrett, a longtime Obama adviser and CEO of the Obama Foundation, said the U.S. extension of the leaders program is a “continuation of our efforts to pay it forward by helping the next generation.”

The foundation, in partnership with Columbia University and the University of Chicago, is holding its first democracy forum in New York on Thursday and Friday. Democracy thinkers, leaders and activists from across the globe will discuss how to advance and strengthen democracy in the United States and abroad.

Obama is scheduled to close the first day of the forum with a speech and a conversation with a group of foundation leaders.

Dear Leader sharing the Peace, Joy and Happiness of Communism to young heads full of mush.

It’s what Commies do!

*SPIT*

P.S. I’m sure there’s some money laundering/kickbacks involved here, too. ;)

“Young Leaders”.

Gee. Is it just me, or does that sound Marxist/Communist?

Nearly everything out of his putrid, racist, pie-hole sounds Marxist/Commmunist to me, so it is hard to tell.

You can bet Obozo is charging a bundle to the foundation for his support. Just like his political endorsement made him millions. Follow the money with Obozo.

Yep. Get them while they are young, and turn them into the “Spies” as described in Orwell’s “1984”.

Inform on their parents. Nag and report on Climate Criminals. Turn out with signs, gasoline, urine-filled bags, and bricks at BLM and Antifa riots.

“Young leaders” are a real pain in the ass. They don’t pay their student loans, monthly bills or any taxes. They just freeload, hike and bike too much.

I personally think this organization should be called the “Obama Youth” as it kinda reminds me of a previous organization with similar characteristics.

Obama’s liberal fascist version of the Hitler Youth Movement.......surveilling neighbors, parents, and being groomed to graduate into cannon fodderdom with BLM and ANTIFA.

Indoctrinate...indoctrinate....indoctrinate.

Pay homage to the Magic Negro.

Got news for you balmy, you still didn’t make an impact for good when you were president. Trump had to fix the mess you got us in!

It has been my observation that when Leftists use the word "Democracy", the amount of both tyranny planned and Leftist indoctrination intended is directly proportional to the frequency of the use of the term "democracy" in their speech.
