President Obama is taking a page out of the Clinton playbook. He is on an around the world tour ... in particular, China, India and France where he is going to meet with the leaders of these countries and also give paid speeches. I strongly suspect he will also be soliciting contributions to the Obama Foundation like the Clinton crime family had taught him. I have been unable to find out what his speech fees are, but I am certain he is not cheap ... see: Chicago Trib Article. (It has been predicted that he and Michelle could pull in a billion dollars once out of office.)
However, the thing that most disturbs me is what will go down in Barack's meetings with these world leaders. Being a bit of a Obamaphobe, could it be that he is going to suggest that he is still running an American shadow government that will step in to run things once Trump is impeached? (Clue: watch to see if Valarie Jarrett accompanies him on this trip.) Will such Obama duplicity diminish Trump's foreign policy effectiveness? Will these foreign leaders pull back and await such a palace coup?
I will be watching for any change in the relationships between these countries and the U.S. once Obama comes home.I suggest you keep an ear to the ground too.
