Spielberg to Work With Obama on Legacy

According to The New York Times, Obama’s post-presidential plan aims to have the “same fierce discipline and fund-raising ambition” that got him to the presidential seat in 2008.

As per a report in the New York Times, President Obama is actively holding consultations with close associates and friends from different walks of life to fine tune the roadmap to establish the institutions. Obama has so far topped $5.4 million from 12 donors whose gift ranged from $100,000 to $1 million, according to the Times.

Eva Longoria is a part of Barack Obama’s list of advisors after he leaves the U.S. Presidential office in January 2017.

Reports in the US claim the politician has been receiving advice from Hollywood director Steven Spielberg on building his legacy when he leaves office. The news outlet wrote that Spielberg “held the president spellbound” when he discussed the significance of technology in telling stories.

Dinner guests say that postpresidency planning is a big topic of conversation but not the only one. All three attended a recent White House dinner. “He loves those sessions”, a top adviser said.

It’s as if Obama’s supporters have come to the same conclusion you have about Obama being sort of low energy and antisocial, and but they realize it would be somewhat embarrassing for all concerned if the first black president spent his retirement doing just enough buck-raking to keep playing golf with Alonzo Mourning, instead of spending the rest of his life as a moral authority on black issues. The president asked if social networks could improve the way society confronted problems.

Some discussions at the dinners have focused on the role Obama might play internationally after the diplomatic opening with Cuba, the nuclear deal with Iran, the confrontations with Russia and the draw-down of US forces in Iraq and Afghanistan. Ideally, one adviser said, a person in Kenya could put on a pair of virtual reality goggles and be transported to Obama’s 2008 speech on race in Philadelphia. The reaction to that from most of the country, including the many who don’t think he’s been a good president (a group that has included a clear majority of Americans for most of his disastrous scandal-ridden second term), is so what? “I know what I’ll do right after the next president is inaugurated”.
