He's not finished. He's quietly recruiting and organizing. Organizing-he's in his element. Anyone who thinks this is over, is fooling themselves.

With more than 250 local chapters around the country, OFA volunteers are building this organization from the ground up, community by community, one conversation at a time—whether that’s on a front porch or on Facebook. We’re committed to finding and training the next generation of great progressive organizers, because at the end of the day, we aren’t the first to fight for progressive change, and we won’t be the last.
Organizing for Action’s elite fellowship program is designed to train the next generation of progressive leaders and issue advocates. Fellows emerge from this intensive six-week program highly skilled in the tools community organizers use every day to create change in their communities. Working in one of three tracks (basic, intermediate, or advanced), fellows develop skills in areas such as community engagement, digital organizing, and digital content production.
All OFA Fellowship tracks involve either working alongside veteran chapter leads or include direct instruction from experts at OFA headquarters in Chicago. Each track will involve work on important issues such as climate change, health care, and women’s rights, so fellows can apply their new skills immediately.
Just a few snippets from the OFA-
The Wall-"Now, let’s be clear: This wall is unnecessary, unpopular, and unpaid for. But even more importantly, it would be a physical embodiment of precisely the kind of fear and division that America must reject. It won’t serve to make us more secure, but instead cast a shadow of intolerance.
This is not who we are as a country or a people. Time and time again, when Americans have faced great challenges, we’ve relied on the diversity and innovation of the American people to build bridges to overcome them, not walls to cower behind. Now is not the time to stop. And now is not the time to give in to fear."
Guns-"When an extreme minority in the Senate stopped passage of a 2013 bipartisan, common-sense measure to expand background checks and better protect our communities and families, OFA supporters refused to back down. We know that local organizing can change a community, and that can change a state. And state by state, we can bring that change to the country."

Organizing for Action (OFA) is a nonprofit 501(c)4 organization and community organizing project that advocates for the agenda of former U.S. President Barack Obama.[2][3] The organization's agenda and policies are strongly allied with the Democratic Party.[4] It is the successor of Obama's 2012 re-election campaign and of Organizing for America, which itself succeeded Obama's 2008 campaign.[5]
Founded after Obama's re-election, the group seeks to mobilize supporters in favor of Obama's legislative priorities. OFA is registered as a 501(c)(4) organization,[6] which may advocate for legislation but is prohibited from specifically supporting political candidates.[7] ~wiki
