To be fair to Obama, he did stump for Democrats earlier this month and Terry McAuliffe pulled out a squeaker in Virginia. So he is a big help in Dem politics.
Unlike all other Presidential libraries Obama's 'Presidential library' won't be run by the National Archives and so isn't subject to government rules. And it's not even a library! Research historians are actually offended. nytimes.com/2019/02/20/art… 
I'm not obsessed with Obama, I'm obsessed with things that cannot be discussed in polite company. And Obama's actual moral and political choices, and the institutional reasons for those choices, are absolutely off-limits though many Dem elites talk about them in private.
