President Barack Obama says one of his missions after leaving office will be to develop a new generation of leaders on issues such as climate change, criminal justice reform and expanding health insurance coverage. "What I am interested in is just developing a whole new generation of talent," Obama told NPR's Steve Inskeep in an interview airing on Morning Edition. Obama said in the interview airing today that the issues he cares most about will be well served when that new generation moves into positions of authority. The Democratic Party has been hit hard during his presidency. He’ll leave with the GOP controlling the White House and Congress.
