Thanks, Obama.

The former president appeared at a sports analytics conference hosted by the Massachusetts Institute of Technology Friday. But if you were not an attendee at the event, don’t expect to hear much about what Barack Obama shared.

Officials managing the 12th annual MIT Sloan Sports Analytics Conference at the Boston Convention and Exhibition Center put strict rules in place that extended beyond barring the media from divulging Obama’s insights.

An e-mail sent to those heading to the venue for the “conversation with Obama” read like a line from the movie “Fight Club”: The first rule of seeing the former commander-in-chief is don’t talk about seeing the former commander-in-chief.

During Obama’s panel, photography; video recording; streaming; and social media posting, including on Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, Snapchat, and other platforms will not be permitted — “without exception,” the warning spelled out.

The regulations went for after the event, too. “Following the panel, the sharing or reporting of its contents on public platforms, including social media, will not be permitted,” the notice read. “Those who fail to adhere to this policy will be subject to removal from the conference and denied tickets to future SSAC conferences.” …

Sounds like a bunch of tolerant liberals. So different from Trump conducting hour long sessions with the cameras rolling.

“Those who fail to adhere to this policy will be subject to removal from the conference and denied tickets to future SSAC conferences”

And not one soul recorded the event. What cowards. Just like not one embedded reporter in the Hillary Campaign reported on what took place on election night. Total cowards.

Yep. It sure sounds like he wanted to be free and comfortable to share some of his true inner feelings about “typical white people” and “bitter clingers” and such without having to worry about it being caught on record.

Not surprising from someone who hides his entire past from public view.

It’s too bad they didn’t have these rules in place when he was President. Then we wouldn’t have to see him all over the news picking his basketball brackets.

Its probably a marketing scam to justify them charging participants many $$ thousands to see the Light Worker Obama.

What he’s going to tell you is SOOOO secret and important, you can not share it with anyone! Now where’s your check for $5000?

Ten bucks says that he spoke about how important...and helpful...it is to have a public *and* a private position on important issues of the day.

I would never click on a Boston Globe link, and I practically grew up and learned to read with that formerly reliable kitty box liner.

I’d prefer to never see or hear from him anywhere, ever.

As I was going up the stair
I met a man who wasn’t there!
He wasn’t there again today,
Oh how I wish he’d go away!”

When I came home last night at three,
The man was waiting there for me
But when I looked around the hall,
I couldn’t see him there at all!
Go away, go away, don’t you come back any more!
Go away, go away, and please don’t slam the door...

Last night I saw upon the stair,
A little man who wasn’t there,
He wasn’t there again today
Oh, how I wish he’d go away...

The media willingly and enthusiastically created a false picture of bammy for the election, and then used all their resources to force the people to accept the fake depiction. They will continue to protect the man they helped elect long after he is out of office. They will trash Trump for the rest of his life, not matter what.

They do this with full knowledge and awareness, freely, and of their own will.
