**SNIP**
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.

Who among us didn’t know that he’d go back to community organizing (the only thing he’s really qualified for) after leaving the White House?
It’s what we’ve been dreading. We’ll never hear the end of his stupid mouth.
And that’s just the way he will treat his SS contingent ... probably the last mistake he will make.
Elder??? Statesman???
He is NEITHER!!
I’m still not convinced he did get elected the second time. Several software programmers have testified the computer controlled voting machines can easily be manipulated to end up with desired results as long as the race is fairly close. That’s why we really need a landslide victory against the hildebeast.
We already know the left is beyond corrupt. No low is too low for them as long as they further their heinous agenda. They have no sense of right and wrong; no conscience at all. Nothing holds them back from being completely dishonest and corrupt like with most normal people. Sigh.
Exactly.
The naive who think he is Mr. Wonderful might think again when he shows his true colors. Out of office, he’ll have fewer handlers reining him in. Expect remarks like “the police acted stupidly” only without any filters on them. It would be a real eye-opener for all but the most hardcore leftist racists.
I’d add some gas...
In between his golf ball going down the field, or course, that is.
This is why he really doesn’t want Hillary to win... if she’s in the WH he is further constrained. If Trump is in the WH, he gets to showboat all he wants.
Give the gov’t two years to build a solid case against him - then he’ll be just 55 years old when he leaves office — if he remains healthy, he could be in prison for decades.
Going full Jeremiah Wright, is he?
Totally agree, and Obozo, being an untouchable “person of color” as _resident (ie, anytime someone has a legitimate political disagreement with him, all he and the left had to do was to holler “rayciss” at the person, to make them back down, and it worked on almost everyone-the cowardly wusses), has, by being “untouchable”, opened the barn door for the left to not even anymore make a pretense at being fair or honest. He did them a huge service by setting the pattern that they can be as openly and brazenly deceitful-inasmuch as they even bother to hide their tracks anymore-and it seems that the GOP decided to follow their playbook now too. Just think of all the energy they save by not having to even make a pretense of supporting the traditional conservative platform, especially the small government plank, and being able to openly vote against the promises they made to their constituents to get elected. And once they’re entrenched in Congress, it really matters not whether they retain the majority or not, they and the ‘rats have the same agenda anyway, to keep their places at the trough. The only few potential “true believers” are on the left, and they’re even more dangerous to America and American taxpaying, law-abiding citizens than the ones, the majority of both parties, who are just there for personal gain. There don’t seem to be any true believers on the right, comparable to the commies on the left.
I knew it!! we will never get rid of this guy...
You said it best...
He’s already irrelevant.
