President Obama<\/a> seems to be reluctant to leave the stage. We haven’t seen this amount of trying to hog the spotlight since the Clintons<\/a>. It really is getting pathetic. There is a tradition that the outgoing President would go quietly into the private sector and let the new President do his job. That is not a guarantee in the present situation.<\/p>\n

The U.K Daily Mail<\/a> posted a story yesterday about some recent comments by President Obama.<\/p>\n

The article reports:<\/p>\n

President Obama <\/a>issued a farewell warning to President-elect<\/a> Donald Trump<\/a>, saying he would jump off the political sidelines if Trump goes against certain ‘core values.’\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

At his last scheduled news conference before leaving office on Friday, Obama said if there was ‘systemic discrimination,’ efforts to ‘silence dissent’ or to ‘roll back voting rights,’ he would be ‘speaking out.’<\/strong><\/p>\n

It was among his most activist descriptions of his next act, and indicates Obama may be rethinking his post-presidency role and heeding the urging of some activists to play a stronger function in the leaderless Democratic Party<\/a> as it navigates the Trump administration.<\/strong><\/p>\n

That group of issues, Obama explained, were ‘core values that may be at stake’ and would prompt him to get off the sidelines.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Would someone please remind President Obama that he campaigned for Hillary Clinton<\/a> and said that his policies were on the ballot. With the exception of New York<\/a>, California, and a few other liberal states, those policies were rejected. He will be an ex-President and deserves a certain amount of respect as an ex-President. However, he has no legal role to play in the upcoming administration.<\/p>\n

There is a problem with President Obama’s intentions. If the press continues to support him, he will be an obstacle to forward progress in America<\/a>. He is leaving a mess for President Trump–both nationally and internationally. If President Obama is seen (the press won’t report this, but people are waking up) as an obstacle to progress, the Democratic Party can count on further losses in Congress<\/a>, state governments and local governments. At some point even the Democrats are going to realize that President Obama has been a liability for the Democratic Party–not an asset.<\/p>\n
