But when he starts up a 501c3 and engaging in charitable work, you'll remember I was right.

There's nothing horrible or corrupt about a president running a nonprofit foundation after serving his country. The Wilson Institute, the Hoover Institute, the Carter Foundation... they all do wonderful work. I don't know why you can't see that the Clinton Foundation does a wealth of good in the world.

With all the good Obama can still do, I think it's pretty obvious that sitting in the Supreme Court would only hinder him. But time will settle our different opinions.
