What have Bill Clinton and Barack Obama done since leaving office?

They both seem like they've been so invisible as ex-presidents compared to someone like Jimmy Carter.

I'm sure they've been much better than Nixon, who was always trying to rehabilitate his image, or Ford and Reagan, who both tried to cash out as much as possible. And certainly they're not painting dogs like W. But what do they do with their time?

Made a lot of money for not much work. Celebrity jerk off bullshit with Bruce Springsteen. Cavorting with Epstein.

Former presidents all lead very different lives in retirement:

Nixon went into isolation with his books and booze;

Ford skied and played golf on the PGA tour a few times;

Carter traveled the world and built houses in developing countries;

Reagan did a few speeches but sadly had Alzheimer's for most of his retirement;

H.W. enjoyed spending time fishing off the Maine coast;

Clinton traveled, gave speeches, but tried not to overshadow Hillary;

W quietly retired to Texas where he spends time reading and painting;

Obama is a celebrity and personality, he is more like a male Oprah;

Biden will spend time with family;

Trump will be bitter and angry while fighting lawsuits between golf games;

Uh, the Clinton Foundation for starters, moron. Jesus Christ. Bill has been out of office for over two decades.

That’s the norm. Carter was the outlier.

Bill Clinton needs to keep his mouth shut, especially about the economy.

There is a direct line that can be drawn from Clinton's support of NAFTA in the 1990s and MAGA and Trump today.

NAFTA sucked the final life out of American manufacturing, with the full endorsement of Clinton and his buddies on Wall Street. So it shouldn't come as a surprise to Demovrats that once blue strongholds like OH, WV, MO, WI AND MI are now solidly red.
