Who's paying for this airtime?
The article says:
The event is hosted by the education advocacy group XQ Institute, The LeBron James Family Foundation and The Entertainment Industry Foundation.
Are they footing the bill?

All the previous POTUS's have quietly walked away from the front stage, well except for Billary.
If you think Obama's desire to stay in the limelight is something, wait
8 months4 years. -

I'm sure the speech will be inspirational and classy.
But very predictable.
You want entertainment? Maybe some toddler will live tweet it for us.

So far its pretty clear it’s early days for virtual events. They are all pretty dull and confusing narrative. Don’t get me wrong, it’s nice and well meaning but the kids will turn it off much sooner than I will. I don’t think many are gonna hang around for Obama.

Well that was a lost hour of my life. I think Obama’s appearance was way way oversold. Nice, short and sweet and I already forgot what he said. 5 min?
