Sorry if this is already posted - a great article.
Obama's still popular as ever the world over...what a breath of fresh air in this stale worrisome climate of Agent Orange.
Check out that very cool pic with Justin Trudeau on the link!

1. I found this bit very interesting, especially considering what we're now going through....

"The former president’s situation is complicated by the fact that he remains extremely popular in most of the world — starkly contrasting with Mr. Trump — meaning foreign leaders can easily use a meeting with Mr. Obama to their political advantage at home.

Mr. Trudeau lost no time tweeting a picture of himself at dinner with the former president, adding a post, in French and English: “How do we get young leaders to take action in their communities? Thanks @BarackObama for your visit & insights tonight in my hometown.”
