Barack Obama Political Comeback: Former US President Barack Obama has made it clear that he has no intention of returning to electoral politics again. This time he said this in a light tone instead of a serious statement. In a podcast interview, Obama said smilingly – ‘First of all, I am no longer a politician nor can I become one.’ He acknowledged that the Constitution may technically allow for some posts, but he himself has no desire to contest elections again.

As much as Barack Obama is known as a good politician, he is also considered an excellent family man. This is the reason why he was popular in other countries besides America. Ever since he left the post of President, he has not been active in politics, although he has been questioned about it many times. Here too, when he was asked whether he would return to politics, he said jokingly – ‘I trust the Constitution as well as my marriage.’

If he contests presidential election, his wife will divorce him!

Taking his point forward, Barack Obama said, ‘If I try to contest elections again, Michelle will divorce me.’ There was laughter and applause on his statement. Obama said that his priorities have changed after leaving the White House. Now he and his wife Michelle Obama want to focus on inspiring and guiding youth. He believes that only the youth of 20 and 30 years will bring real change in America. He said that only the new generation will reinvent our institutions. In this way, Obama made it clear that his politics will no longer be seen in the electoral field, but in giving direction to the new generation.

What did you say on Donald Trump’s social media video?

During the interview, Obama also mentioned a recent controversy on social media. A video was shared on the Truth Social account of current US President Donald Trump, in which the faces of Obama and his wife were shown on the bodies of monkeys. The video was removed shortly after and the White House said it was posted by mistake. Without taking names, Obama said that most Americans feel uncomfortable with such behavior. He expressed concern that the level of decency and respect is declining in today’s politics and social media. He said, ‘A kind of drama is going on on social media and TV.’
