Bloomberg Politics reports:

The most powerful man in the world wants to return to community organizing after he hands over the keys to the White House in 2017, he told middle-school students at a public library in Washingtonā€™s Anacostia neighborhood today.

Ā ā€œIā€™ll be done being president in a couple of years and Iā€™ll still be a pretty young man,ā€ he said. ā€œAnd so Iā€™ll go back to doing the kinds of work I was doing before, just trying to find ways to help people.ā€

Obama, who will be 55 years old when he leaves office in 2017, said his post-presidential agenda includes helping children get educations and better access to the job market, and luring businesses into low-income neighborhoods. Just out of college, he worked on Chicago’s South Side as a community organizer, a career choice that earned him much derision from conservative quarters.

ā€œThatā€™s the kind of work that I really love to do,ā€ he said, after one child asked what inspired him to seek the presidency.

When did he actually stop? Ā He certainly hasn’t played the part of a Commander-in-Chief for the last six years. Ā Also I wonder if he plans to do this in Hawaii. Ā I just don’t see him going back to Chicago.
