1. Move to Ireland and be a professor at Trinity..There, at least, he

will receive the respect lacking in the US...

[vroomvroom]

13. At least for a while...

until they get to know he harbors center-right leanings like the US discovered.

[treestar]

19. What proof is there that the Irish are such leftists compared to the US?

[monmouth]

23. As a professor, what difference would his alleged center-right

leanings make? You're reaching....

[Beacool]

2. Write books, give speeches and make a lot of money.

Just like the rest of them.

:)

[MilesColtrane]

3. Some speechifying for cash, some charity work, and some behind-the-scenes work with the...

Democratic party, very much in the vein of what Clinton does now...

[Brother Buzz]

4. Become a community organizer

A global community.

[Enrique]

5. something involving banking n/t

[vroomvroom]

11. +1,000

[treestar]

18. Whatever you want to say about what he is done

That is snarky and not justified. Given Obama's history, it's an unfair swipe.

[Enrique]

20. Obama worked at an investment bank

his first job out of Columbia, iirc.

[CTyankee]

6. President of an Ivy League College/University

The first black president of Harvard or Columbia.

[Yavin4]

8. I Would Hate That

He has too many gifts to squander them on a bunch of snobby rich kids.

[CTyankee]

16. He might see it as a chance to help kids like himself...they're not all snobby, rich kids

in the Ivies any more...

[yellowcanine]

7. I would like to see him on the SCOTUS. Preferably in place of Thomas or Scalia.

[Yavin4]

9. I Prefer This

It's a natural for him.

[vroomvroom]

12. I prefer someone on the Left to replace Thomas/Scalia, ideally.

[vroomvroom]

10. High-Paid Lobbyist

[Retrograde]

14. He's worked hard, let him have some fun

I think he should move back to Hawai'i and become a professional surfer, then become the first former president to win the Eddie Aikau Big Wave surfing contest.

Realistically, I'd like to see him on the Supreme Court. I expect he'll go back to academia and end up president of some Ivy League university.

[Wait Wut]

15. Be a dad.

Pretty sure that will top the list. He does seem like a multitasker, though, so it could be "all of the above".

[treestar]

17. I think global work

But he would make a good SCOTUS justice.

[Tarheel_Dem]

21. Global work. He's a helluva fundraiser. (nt)

[tishaLA]

22. Take over Matt Damon's role in the Bourne films

[Hawkowl]

24. Seat on the board of the Carlyle group. nt

[greenbird]

25. I've always thought

that he and Michelle have an agreement in place about that very question . . .

[BlueIris]

26. He will hide out in an undisclosed location. nt

[NorthCarolina]

27. Good grief

:eyes:

[TheKentuckian]

28. Speaking tours, books, fund raising, palling around with the Bushes and Bubba.

and if he would interpret the law anything like he has as President then he'd be a wretched Justice. A fucking trainwreck. Just to the left of the arch-conservative and gawdawful Kennedy, just decent enough to seem sane compared to the waste of skin fascist on the bench.

[griloco]

29. Da Bulls need a scorer to compliment Rose n/t

[bigwillq]

30. Veterinarian (nt)
