Good morning. My name is kevin gaines and its a pleasure to welcome you to the Miller Center for a conversation about the postpresidency of barack obama. In his farewell address, president obama spoke of threats to american democracy and called for an actively engaged and vigilant citizenry to preserve democracy. It falls to each of us, he said, to be those anxious, jealous, guardian of democracy, contemplating his future as a private citizen after the honor of serving his fellow americans. Obama pledged, as he put it, that he will be right, right there with you. As a citizen, for all my remaining days, he urged Young Americans to believe in themselves and their ability to effect change. We know what happened next. The Trump Administration sought to undo the policies of his predecessor, and at every turn, trump sought to undermine the democratic norms that obama had extolled and defended. Adhering to political custom. Obama remained largely silent for most of the one term Trump Adminis
