I'm watching the farewell speech right now. Haven't gotten that vibe. More of just encouraging people to stay active and to pursue what they want for America through democratic means
Its been a great speech.
He said that. He also said things about arguing on social media and arguing in person.
I got the idea he was basically giving the green light for a 'progressive' version of the 'tea party'.
Hell of a speech.
Inspiring and thoughtful speech as usual.
He is a good man. No scandals.
He is a good man. No scandals.
So, what does he do next? I've heard suggestions he considers these exceptional times and so is willing to break with the norm for ex-presidents and will continue to comment on politics.
He'll be a lapdog for those who got him elected and give speeches at their corporate dinners for 300k a pop like every other president before him
Fair enough.
It would be great if he would take over the DNC
I read in politico that Organizing for Action has already hired a few people and Obama will lead this advocacy group for fights on progressive matters. This group will work hand in hand with Eric Holder and his effort on the re-districting process. I'm sure there will be book tours but doesn't seem like he's riding off into sunset.
Yes, that is the spirit.
That's the sort of answer I was looking for. Ta!
I wish he'd go to the Supreme Court. That couldn't happen anytime soon, though...
I think he really will be there for Trump for a start. To help him for the sake of the country.
Now that he is 'free' I expect he may very well be a strong spokesmen for progressive causes.
I'd love to see him do a weekly TV show of some sort, he's a very compelling man.
He can't. He was debarred
True, but not an unprecedented move should a Dem get the WH in 2020
Voluntarily. Wouldn't take much effort for him to practice law again.He can't. He was debarred
Besides that, it isn't a Constitutional requirement to be a member of the bar to be on the SCOTUS
Anyone else feel bad for Mitt Romney about the way he was treated? I think he would have been a good SoS. Instead, this Exxon Mobil guy gets it. How exactly is Rex Tillerson going to bring about any sort of positive change around the world? Mind boggling.
Mitt Romney is a fecking idiot. Anyone who's spend more than 5 minutes listening to Trump knew what was up.
International lobbyist for a green tech company. A political shift to the left in USA is best done with more progressive voices as spokesmen. Enough with empty platitudes.
No.
EDIT - Maybe I shouldn't speak for 'everyone'. I suppose there is a chance that his family members feel a bit bad for him. I'd be surprised, though.

He's not. That's not what Trump is appointing him to do.
I wish it had been an even bigger humiliation. He made that speech railing against Trump then ran to kiss his ring (both) as soon as he was elected. fecking snake.
Timeline thread re: Manafort, Stone, Trump and Russia
Tongue in cheek
My apologies. It's dang hard to read tone on here
Bernie Sanders' town hall on CNN yesterday was great.
fecking snake is right. I'll never forget when he got caught on the secret camera talking shit.
Did he feel bad for Mitt?
Oh wow. Am interested if anyone else comes up and verifies this
Whatever you say, Romney would have been better than Tillerson, who is going to do nothing to resolve international problems. Romney might not be good but compared to Tillerson, he would have been better.
Even better would have been to reach across the aisle and appoint someone like Al Gore but to think that is just pure fantasy. Never going to happen. The lobbyists and special interests are too strong.
Believe it or not, I wasn't suggesting otherwise.
A vast majority of this is likely true and we are going to be getting a drip drip verification over the coming months. There's no rational reason for Trump and his cabal to be this cozy with the mafia state unless Vlad as something incriminating on him.
So.. What happens when it comes out that our POTUS is linked in with the Russian gov't and the Russian Mafia?
What interesting times we live in
