Okay, entertaining the validity of this story... so what if he was? Why do people think the UN is this great and powerful thing? It's not. It's basically diplomacy and aid.
You realize most of us are mostly joking ... right?

He stands to make way too much money through his Barack Obama Foundation. He's been laying the groundwork for years and just like the Clintons, he will use his fund-raising techniques, government connections, foundation "scam", grant money loopholes, community organizing and non-profits partnerships, and speaking fees to rack in gazillions.
Remember, "non-profit" is a misnomer. They are allowed to rack in all kinds of $$$ for salaries and administrative costs before one penny goes to the "cause".
The UN position looks lame by comparison.
a developmentally challenged aardvark would do nicely.

Barack Obama is reportedly already lobbying for his post presidency position: Secretary General of the United Nations.
Hypothetically speaking, who would you rather see fill the position, hypothetically speaking?
