Obama: "You are right to be concerned"

Earlier today we reported that “Former President Obama is planning to come back into American politics and campaign for Democratic candidates in September ahead of the November midterm election.”

And now POLITCO has reported that the popular former president spoke to an event for the Democratic National Committee last night and said people are “right to be concerned.”

Because Barack Obama has been laying low since he left the presidency and Donald Trump became president, many people are relieved and happy that he is finally speaking up about the current state of politics in this country.

This is one of 5 people who can cogently speak on the topic as an ex president. ALL the ex presidents need to speak up. Bill Clinton has been such a disappointment of late w the splitting hairs etc. Carter even said nice things about dt. Wheres the Bush family? Sound off like you got a pair Rembrandt George Bush. Why the silence?

We know what kind of person President Obama is-- we know he's suffering greatly through this debacle of a "presidency"

And since he's tremendously popular (obviously!) he has significant clout.

(I do worry about his safety)
