Note the plural: it’s not just the next President who will clearly not want to have Barack Obama’s input on foreign affairs. You see, eventually we’ll elect another Democratic President*, and that one is going to be equally wary of letting the current Democratic President touch the controls with regard to anything. This is just the way of it: the man simply doesn’t have a reliable track record on this, or indeed any other, policy topic. So I hope that Barack Obama really enjoys golf, because he’s going to be playing it a lot more…

*I’m sorry, but that’s the way things work in this country. You cannot assume that state Democrats will keep shoving their genitalia in the garbage disposal forever. Eventually they will revolt against their bicoastal masters, because the alternative is dying as a national party. Again, this is just the way of it.
“It’s not just the next President who will clearly not want to … ” roll back any of Obama’s executive over reach.
There, I fixed it for you.
I don’t recall Clinton asking Carter to talk to the Norks.
For some reason,I don’t expect Zero to be more reticent than Jimmy Peanut.
So I hope that Barack Obama really enjoys golf, because he’s going to be playing it a lot more…
No, I’m pretty sure he’ll be popping up all over the world, offering unsolicited advice and criticizing anyone who isn’t a socialist or Islamist dictator. Here in the United States, he’ll be “improving” racial harmony even more than he has been for the past seven years. He’ll easily claim the mantle of worst ex-president.
Is anyone willing to bet that I’m wrong?
Nope. Not taking the bet. But I’ll throw in this: Everywhere he speaks, he’ll have a podium with a sign that says “Office of the President Emeritus of the United States.”
