What in the real world could Obama actually do?

Ed Driscoll asks

"What would happen, if, heaven forfend, Obama actually went into business himself?"

It's a protean question but one that first gives rise to the question, "If he wasn't in the government, a token in a large law firm or academia, what, if anything, could Obama actually do?"

Pound sand, but that would require help from the book, "Sand Pounding for Dummies", the Yemeni Edition.

What do you call the thing that Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton do? Race Baiter? Obama could do that. Seems to pay well too.

Lot's of things. For example, he could do patient-dumping schemes like his wife did - that paid off nicely for her. Or more real estate scams like his work with Tony Rezko. One thing he couldn't do.. write his own best-selling autobiography. If you are so pathetic, you need Bill Ayers to be your ghost writer, then you probably aren't even worth the effort it takes for people to ponder questions such as the one proposed here by Driscoll. I picture him as a middle school P.E. coach. Or a
postman. Maybe a toll booth or parking garage attendendant.

He would and probably will sell his autograph to an endless line of drooling moonbats and become very "successful".

He could do any number of featherbedding jobs that unions demand be set up for his type. But something productive? Not a chance.

Although it's the usual domain of women, Human Resource Departments are a viable option for any minority. There is no more fool-proof way to prove your company is "fair" than to hire minority/women for the Dept in charge of monitoring PC compliance.

He and "Michelle" could always return to the no-show jobs they used to have. Maybe he could get a few dozen no-show jobs since he's entitled to a very large income.

He could do any number of jobs that require getting your hands dirty in the figurative sense, but none in the literal meaning of 'dirty.'

He hasn't done anything useful yet, and he's still well-off. Why should he start now?

It's the second term that he needs. His financial advisors have told him it means several billion more in lifetime income. After the second term he can play golf and hoops until the cows come home. Won't need to lift a finger to earn money. That's why he's already in campaign mode.

Well, I've seen photographs of him hanging a curtain rod, and riding a bicycle....

As Takuan Seiyo said when he bowed to Emperor Akihito, he could be a broken backed toilet attendant.
