With less than two years left in his presidency, President Obama’s post-White House planning is picking up steam with a promise that “eight years is only the beginning.”
In a new email to supporters, the Obama Foundation said it will soon announce where it will be headquartered after his presidency. It is expected to be linked to his presidential library which is slated for Chicago.
“Eight years is only the beginning. Barack Obama’s commitment to public service preceded his presidency, and will continue long after he and the first lady leave the White House. The foundation will carry forward the Obamas’ efforts to inspire active citizenship, expand economic opportunity, and promote peace and justice throughout the world,” said the email.
It added: “Soon we will reveal the city that will be the future home of the Obama Foundation. Sign up for our emails to find out first.”
