Obama considering post-presidential digital media career, sources say
Mic Newtwork ^ | December 2, 2016 | By Jake Horowitz

President Barack Obama has been discussing a post-presidential career in digital media and is considering launching his own media company, according to multiple sources who spoke on background because they were not authorized to speak for the president.

Obama considers media to be a central focus of his next chapter, these sources say, though exactly what form that will take — a show streaming on Netflix, a web series on a comedy site or something else — remains unclear. Obama has gone so far as to discuss launching his own media company, according to one source with knowledge of the matter, although he has reportedly cooled on the idea of late.

When contacted for comment, White House communications director Jen Psaki told Mic in a statement, "While the president will remain actively engaged in inspiring young people and he is interested in the changing ways people consume information, he has no plans to get into the media business after he leaves office. . ."

His chance of success in any business, other than politics, is nil.The asswipe might fool the stupid voters twice but he is a non-starter in the business world. AND he know it.

How much does asswipe get as fed pension, senator & Pres.?

How much from we suckers in Ill.? He was a state senator too

How did he get to be a multi millionaire on prez salary?

(That last question was rhetorical) He got wealth the same way every rat politician does.

Yeah he cooled on the idea when he found out it might, just possibly involve some work.

I give it about two years until the outfit is hemorrhaging cash because of the lack of viewers.

Whereupon all of us, the hapless citizens of this land, will be denounced as RACISTS and the Democrats will, in the interests of equity, carve out a taxpayer subsidy for the operation to continue ... 'till the end of time!'
