Just a question...and I know this will never happen...

But...what would happen if the Real President Obama were to lay down(or sit in) with the teens in protest of school shootings?
Would he be arrested? Would he be ignored? Would it be a distraction?
Would it be beneficial or make things worse (although, I don't know how they could get much worse)?
Just wondering.

He needs to stay above the fray.
There may come a pivotal moment where the tide (and the GOP) turns against Trump and he is willing to do anything to resist losing office. That is when Obama could be a critical resource to appeal to the public.

Let’s keep Obama as a statesman and not a foot soldier.
