Did you think the Obamas would leave you alone after exiting the White House? Not so fast, comrade! Right after they boarded the government helicopter for the last time this afternoon, they recorded and posted this video on Obama.org, pleading for your help (apparently while still in the helicopter, using their iPhones).
As we know, Democratic presidents traditionally leave the White House completely broke and impoverished, which is why they set up various foundations with their names on them and ask for donations, which allows them to continue living on public assistance.
But even more than money, they need to you to unite together and help them build the Presidential Center and Library in the South Side of Chicago. They need our input, comrades!
The Obama Foundation will be a living, working startup for citizenship - an ongoing project for us to shape, together, what it means to be a good citizen in the 21st century. We are based on the South Side of Chicago and will have projects all over the city, the country, and the world.
We want to hear from you. Send us your ideas, your hopes, your beliefs about what we can achieve together. This will be your Foundation just as much as it is ours, so share your voice at obama.org.
Ask and you shall receive.
Back in 2012 we had a thread that was way ahead of its time:
