Obama: I Want to Help Rebuild Democratic Party with ‘Whole New Generation of Talent’

‘There are such incredible young people who not only worked on my campaign, but I’ve seen in advocacy groups’

OBAMA: “I'm less likely to get involved in all the nuts and bolts of electioneering. In that realm I'm much more likely to just give advice. What I am interested in is just developing a whole new generation of talent. There are such incredible young people who not only worked on my campaign, but I’ve seen in advocacy groups, I’ve seen passionate about issues like climate change, or conservation, criminal justice reform. You know, campaigns to — for a livable wage, or health insurance. And making sure that whatever resources, credibility, spotlight that I can bring to help them rise up. That’s something that I think I can do well, I think Michelle can do well.”
