Obama has to figure out the great challenge of following in the footsteps of the Clintons. How to keep fundraising once you're out of office. It's either this or run Michelle for president while directing international donations to the Obama Foundation. And that didn't work out so well for Hillary. So call this plan B.
Obama’s long-term goal when he leaves office will be to marshal in a new generation of progressive leaders.
In an interview with his former senior advisor David Axelrod for CNN’s “The Axe Files” podcast, Obama explained his vision is “to build that next generation of leadership: organizers, journalists, politicians.”
“I see them in America, I see them around the world, 20-year-olds, 30-year-olds who are just full of talent, full of idealism,” Obama said. “And the question is how do we link them up? How do we give them the tools for them to bring about progressive change?”
“And I want to use my presidential center as a mechanism for developing that next generation of talent,” he added.
Which means that, Obama will be finding ways to abuse taxpayer money for left-wing organizing. But is anyone surprised about that?
I did predict earlier that Obama would seek to turn OFA into his own organizing infrastructure in order to dominate the Dems even once out of office. That's his obvious agenda. And it will certainly help bring in the cash to keep the Obamas in the luxurious lifestyle that our media monarchs have grown accustomed to.
