(Obama's not going away. Like Carter and the Clintons he'll be around to complete his convoluted chaos.)
President Barack Obama recently vowed that his “project” will continue long after he leaves the White House. In a new email to supporters, the Obama Foundation has reiterated that the president is going to remain very politically active after 2016 with the declaration “eight years is only the beginning.”
“Eight years is only the beginning. Barack Obama’s commitment to public service preceded his presidency, and will continue long after he and the first lady leave the White House. The foundation will carry forward the Obamas’ efforts to inspire active citizenship, expand economic opportunity, and promote peace and justice throughout the world,” said the email.
The foundation is currently finalizing plans for the Obama Foundation headquarters and his presidential library, which are expected to be located in Chicago.
“Our first priority is laying the groundwork for the Barack Obama Library and Museum. This year, we’ll choose a host and construction site, and start to gather the artifacts that recall a historic presidency,” the foundation website says.
Philanthropic foundations are not uncommon for former president. But Obama’s could prove remarkable if it enjoys the same fundraising and online savvy as the president’s two campaigns. It’s worth noting that the foundation’s volunteer board is headed up by Martin Nesbitt, national treasurer to both Obama campaigns.
