**CITYWATCH TODAY**--Former President Barack Obama is arguably the most popular living former president. Not only is he a global presence with a tremendous youth following, he is also still relatively young by political standards. He can offer many more years of public service through the Democratic Party. Although it is likely that he will not return to public office anytime soon, the door isn’t closed.
Though Obama cannot run for a third presidential term, Obama has many options that could bring him back into International Politics, including the White House. He is young and has plenty of time to evaluate his options for the future.
Obama has not signaled a return to the public stage. The chances are slim that he will return to politics in the near future. With numerous projects including speaking engagements, a deal with Netflix to produce TV content, and book deal with Penguin Random House to publish his presidential memoirs, he is keeping himself pretty busy. However, there are appealing high-profile political positions our former president may consider further down the road if given the opportunity. *[(Read the rest.)](https://medium.com/@fredsromero/will-obama-return-to-politics-data-driven-investor-332d0a189aa9%20)*
