Obama is only 58 years old. I wish he would come out of retirement. No, not as a “President for Life.” God forbid. Not as campaign manager for Biden either. I’m thinking he would be great as host of his own weekly TV program on politics and world events....
I’m serious! Obama was never my hero (I confess I once voted for him). But I think he was always a thoughtful man. He has unique experience in the reality and constraints of politics, and he has class and a sense of humor. He could perhaps remind the country of how a President at least ought to think about the issues. I would love to see him inviting world leaders and prominent intellectuals and politicians — he could even invite Donald Trump! — onto his television program. It would sure beat ... “The Apprentice”!
