When your secret Santa is a former president

Barack Obama is only 57 years old, one of the youngest ex-presidents in the history of the nation.

He’s got a lot of time left in the role of former president so he decided to adopt a new role yesterday at a children’s hospital in Washington. Because what else is a former president going to do on a Wednesday?

In a week of adorable moments, he still played second banana this week.

Go head on.

Bob Collins retired from Minnesota Public Radio in 2019 after 12 years of writing NewsCut and pointing out to complainants that posts weren’t news stories. A son of Massachusetts, he was a news editor 1992-1998, created the MPR News regional website in 1999, invented the popular Select A Candidate, started several blogs, and every day lamented that his Minnesota Fantasy Legislature project never caught on.
