Will Obama Launch a Media Company?

https://politicalwire.com/2016/12/02/will-obama-launch-media-company/

"SNIP.............



President Obama “has been discussing a post-presidential career in digital media and is considering launching his own media company,” according to Mic.

“Obama considers media to be a central focus of his next chapter, these sources say, though exactly what form that will take — a show streaming on Netflix, a web series on a comedy site or something else — remains unclear. Obama has gone so far as to discuss launching his own media company, according to one source with knowledge of the matter, although he has reportedly cooled on the idea of late.”

The world has changed. Obama could lead the non-Trump world if he stayed on our screens. Who better to bring unity to the likely throngs of people who will be sick of Trump sooner or later?
