If Barack Obama wants to do something positive, he should stop encouraging traumatized teens to spew their rage and confusion on the national stage.
Former President Barack Obama talked about his future plans for his post-presidency life at a conference Sunday in Japan, addressing how he might shape “a million” new, young leaders in his mold.
The wide-ranging discussion repeatedly touched on the Obama Foundation’s efforts to engage the digital space to help young people in the U.S. and across the world get connected.“If I could do that effectively, then — you know — I would create a hundred or a thousand or a million young Barack Obamas or Michelle Obamas,” Obama said. “Or, the next group of people who could take that baton in that relay race that is human progress.”
During the discussion, Obama acknowledged the great potential that young people have in making a difference, pointing to the March for Our Lives anti-gun violence demonstrations, led by high schoolers, in Washington, D.C., and around the globe. He also knocked “old men” in power.
“A lot of our problems are caused by old men. No offense, men, who are old,” he quipped….
A million MLK Jrs.? No.
A million Frederick Douglass’? No.
A million Sojourner Truths? No.
A million, Me Myself and I_s? YES!!
They won’t get anything done though. Too many selfies to take with each other.
You know he wanted to say “old WHITE men”.
Go ahead Barry…
If Obama wants it, it is very bad for America.
A million Mini-Me’s
…and a million mirrors and selfie sticks…good for manufacturing jobs.
… and a million 5-pound weights. Think of all of the new gym construction.
In the words of “Auntie Max” on the twitters: “Just what we need, more fatherless children.”
Someone tell this hind-part he’s irrelevant. #BoyBye
What? A bunch of whiny, ungrateful, narcissists with very serious “daddy issues.”
No thanks!
