    Let’s face it, the coolest new CEOs are in tech. Obama was the very first digital president. We’d love to see him jump in the tech game. After all, he’d be great at sourcing investors.

  3. Festival Producer

    With all the great events and concerts held at White House throughout his presidency, maybe he and Michelle could team up to create some awesome international festival events.
