Is Obama the first president to set up opposition in Washington DC to directly interfere with the next president? What was his involvement in the "Resist" campaign?

No. Woodrow Wilson stuck around in DC, but he was incapacitated due to the stroke he suffered while in office.

Correct...not only that but that man used elements of state power in the friendships he had with establishment players to get what he wanted done as best he could.

Besides being completely guilty of crimes related to misuse of the patriot act to undermine Trump he is part in parcel with other crimes of interference post presidency.

If we had a REAL Justice Department and an FBI that was corrupt, they would have this POS in jail for sedition through his "shadow government".

In Massive Blow To Obama and Holder, Republicans Handily Won Virtually Almost Every House Race
Huge Loss for Obama’s dream: a permanent Dem majority
Thegatewaypundit.com ^ | November 20 2020 | Mike LaChance / FR Posted by SmokingJoe

.....one aspect of the 2020 race is being overlooked even though it’s huge. Not only did Republicans make considerable gains in the House, that no one expected, they won most of the races that will entail redistricting. This is like a double loss for Democrats Every 10 years, after the census, congressional and state legislature districts are redrawn to maximize the number of districts that favor their party — a tactic known as gerrymandering. And as we wrote last month, the 2020 election represented the last chance for voters to weigh in on who would draw those maps.

Both parties went into the election with a chance to draw more congressional districts than the other, but the end result was just about the best-case scenario for end result was just about the best-case scenario for Republicans. As the map below shows, Republicans are set to control the redistricting of 188 congressional seats — or 43 percent of the entire House of Representatives. By contrast, Democrats will control the redistricting of, at most, 73 seats, or 17 percent.

How did Republicans pull that off? By winning almost every 2020 election in which control of redistricting was at stake… (Excerpt) Read more at thegatewaypundit.com ...

CIRCA 2019 Obama and Holder take on partisan gerrymandering with redistricting

SOURCE https://www.latimes.com/politics/story/2019-08-27/obama-partisan-gerrymandering-redistricting-u-initiative

Aug 27, 2019 — In one of his first public political actions since he left the White House, Obama unveiled Redistricting U on Twitter as an in-person training arm ...All On The Line, launched earlier this year, is a combination of Obama’s “Organizing For Action” and former Attorney General Eric Holder’s “National Redistricting Action Fund.”

cnn.com

CIRCA 2019 Ex-President Barack Obama announced a new initiative that will help volunteers influence redistricting efforts in states across the country. “Redistricting U,” an extension of his “All On The Line” campaign, will send trainers to provide free training and tools to volunteers about their state redistricting process, gather feedback on ways to improve their communities and teach them how to be leaders in the fair map movement, according to the initiative’s website.

All On The Line, launched earlier this year, is a combination of “Obama’s Organizing For Action” and former Attorney General “Eric Holder’s National Redistricting Action Fund.”

Obama said he has always believed “training is at the heart of organizing.” “It’s why I made it a priority in my 2008 campaign and throughout our larger movement for change in the years since,” Obama said in a statement on the group’s website.

He added, “The movement for fair maps will determine the course of progress on every issue we care about for the next decade. And we can’t wait to begin organizing when the redistricting process starts in 2021. We need to build this movement from the ground up — right now.”

This is the latest effort by Obama to push for voting reform and fight against gerrymandering. The Obamas have long pushed for increased voter participation and fought against partisan gerrymandering.

Make no mistake. He will be the shadow president behind the Biden facade while Joe sits in his wheelchair picking at his leg bag as urine trickles down his hairy legs.
We will get 4 more years of the Obamanation of desolation.
America will be sacrificed to satan.
This MUST be stopped by the court, or there will be war.

No.
George Washington returned to Mount Vernon just a few miles down the street.

James Madison lived in a house directly across the street from the White House next to Saint John’ Church which Democrat Peaceful Protestors torched a couple of years ago.

He IS the first President to vote in Hawaii, Illinois, Massachusetts, and D.C. in the same election.

He might be the first to obviously shadow the sitting president’s international conference and meetings with foreign leaders, telling world leaders to wait until “things change” again in the US (Trump removed). That part strikes me as new. There may have been other shadow governments, but Obama’s was the first apparently proud to announce itself.

This coup that we are witnessing is actually the result of him implementing “The Chicago Way” in DC at a national level.

If he thinks he gave President Trump a rough time, just wait. Antipresident Biden will wish he had never run.

He just wanted to save the taxpayers some money (stop laughing) so the Marshals won't have to hunt him down for the BIG EVENT on the Mall.
