(171,056 posts)Barack Obama has often been accused of being insufficiently partisan or at least insufficiently devoted to the particular interests of the Democratic Party. So, its interesting hes signaling that he will make a new Democratic redistricting project headed up by former Attorney General Eric Holder the main focus of his political activity once he leaves office.

I think he plans on being out there and stirring it up!

I saw Holder with Bill Maher just recently, and he seemed ready for such a project. Our present President will revert to activism and community organizing in a big way. I'm counting on it.

(38,414 posts)It is my opinion, but I think there are many others that hold this opinion, that Barack Obama, is the single most respected man in this entire world..perhaps, he is the most respected human in the world..(his wife has an incredible following, as do many women)....
so...the most respected man in the world is on our side. He will work for our ideals and our goals..Well.....it won't be easy..but he is there. It will be like comparing what we call .."The Grand Canyon" ...to crack in the sidewalk...our guy .....is the Canyon...and the new guy, well he is like the crack in the sidewalk..and.....(I must apologize to sidewalks everywhere for the comparison to Drumf)....
