Throwing this out as an idea for Obama to do after leaving office.

[LiberalFighter]

Be the press secretary for Hillary Clinton. He would be amazing! Of course that won't happen. But it should be someone like the President.

[PJMcK]

1. There really isn't anyone like the President! (n/t)

[Warpy]

2. I'd rather see him lecturing at Harvard and writing his book(s)

until Hillary nominates him to fill the next vacancy on the USSC bench.

There is absolutely nothing the fright wing could say against him. He's a constitutional scholar and his credentials are impeccable.

It would be loads of fun to see the pinheads popping all over the Senate.

[matt819]

3. Another option

Choose him for vp.

RW heads would explode.

[longship]

9. He is not qualified to be VEEP.

Because he is not qualified to be POTUS again.

So says the constitution. And parsing the language as "elected" or not does not help the argument.

But he could serve on SCOTUS, as Taft did. But I don't think he would accept that. Nevertheless, it would be interesting if he accepted such a nomination.

[matt819]

14. I thought vp was okay

Scotus is good

[longship]

15. If he is not qualified for POTUS, he isn't qualified as VEEP.

But he is qualified for SCOTUS. Not sure if Hillary would nominate him, nor whether he would accept if she did.

[cyndensco]

4. I'm hoping President Obama will go back to his activism days.

In my dream world, he would work with people like Jessie Williams and change would actually come.

[unblock]

5. with his constitutional law background, the supreme court seems logical

and he wouldn't be the first -- taft became chief justice eight years after his presidency.

[Matt_in_STL]

6. He sees all that speaking circuit money Hillary was bringing in

He isn't going to pass up on all of that.

[madokie]

11. I've been slowly but surely

clearing out my Ignore list but I'll have to make an exception for you. You earned it. I have no desire to read anything you might add to any conversation.

The implications of what you typed is way our there beyond anything I care to see ever again.


Peace
have a great day

My apologies to the Board for this, Sorry

[Matt_in_STL]

13. Awww....that gives me a sad.

Wait, no, that was just gas. Carry on.

[Sherman A1]

22. I am in complete agreement

another one on the list.

[BKH70041]

23. He'd be crazy not to.

Cha-ching!

[Buzz Clik]

24. You're a star in the knuckledragger circles.

I'll follow suit with ushering you to my ignore list.

It's not that I won't be able to read your posts... they'll be re-posted to the mirror site. As I if you didn't know.

[Moostache]

7. I agree with the sentiment that SCotUS appointment would be outstanding...

I just cannot believe the GOP would survive such a circus.

They hate him with a passion that now rivals the hate for the Clintons (if not surpasses in some regards). The derangement of the idiot brigade in the right wing would be delicious, but the fact is Barack Obama would be an imminently qualified justice and a reliable voice of calm in a contentious court.

[LonePirate]

8. I had something different in mind.

I think Clinton should appoint him as the official liaison dedicated to reducing police violence and improving relations between police forces and minority group Americans, particularly black Americans.

While not technically activism, it's certainly in the neighborhood and as a former President acting on behalf of the new President, he would be able to attain the respect of both police groups and average Americans. He might not be able to cure all of the problems; but he could lead some important discussions, help make peace and he could work with law enforcement agencies, the FBI, the Justice Departmentand the Clinton administration to enact new guidelines and procedures, perhaps even some new laws for Congress to pass.

10. Give the guy 3-4 years off, he deserves it, then offer him a spot as SC Justice.

Should be another opening by then.

[Botany]

12. Barack Obama would be perfect for 1 job

School gym teacher.

[GeorgeGist]

16. I'd rather he be free.

[FSogol]

17. I was hoping he'd spend some time driving around with me to visit local breweries, since he's

staying in the area...

C'mon Mr. President, first round is on me.

[maxsolomon]

18. I suggest surfing

in Hawaii

for a good solid 8 years.

[Wounded Bear]

19. While I think he would be an excellent SJC...

I somehow think that job might actually limit what he can accomplish as a living ex-president. I suspect he could rival Jimmie as the "best ex-president" in history. I'm not sure exactly what he would do, but that is kind of the point. He could do anything he put his mind to, and I'd be willing to bet it would be good for the country and for society as a whole.

[malaise]

20. Good effin' grief

are you serious?

[La Lioness Priyanka]

21. NO. he is the PRESIDENT of this country, he is not staff material.

i dont understand these threads recycling Obama and Biden. are we really so out of talented Democrats?
