Question is, will this lead to him getting back in the game.

I could see him taking out Rahm in the Chicago mayor's race, or perhaps returning to the Senate if Tammy Duckworth were to become vice-president or president.

Obama will become even more beloved as time passes, I predict. Sophia4 Feb 2018 #7

Well, President Obama was not included in that poll that we've seen posted as proof lunamagica Feb 2018 #11

That certainly makes more sense than other "most popular" claims... NurseJackie Feb 2018 #4

Funny what happens when you include Obama on the list. lapucelle Feb 2018 #6
