President Obama used his final weekly address in 2016 to assure Americans that he will remain committed to defending the "progress" made by his administration after handing over the White House to Donald Trump on Jan. 20.

While the president initially indicated that he looked forward to a quiet retirement, at a time when many polls showed Democrat Hillary Clinton marching to victory in the presidential election, Obama has said his plans have changed since Trump ran away with the win.
"I promise you that next year Michelle and I are going to be right there with you, and the clouds are going to start parting and the sun is going to come back out, and we're going to be busy, involved in the amazing stuff that we've been doing all these years before," Obama told told supporters in late November. Obama also revealed then that his family plans to stick around Washington, D.C., for a few years while his younger daughter, Sasha, finishes high school.
Touting strides made in expanding health insurance coverage, job creation, bringing troops back to the U.S. from Afghanistan and Iraq, and killing al Qaeda leader Osama bin Laden, Obama said Saturday that the country has "made extraordinary progress as a country these past eight years."
The president said income is rising, poverty is falling and the auto industry is "resurgent." Turning to diplomacy, Obama said, "We shut down Iran's nuclear weapons program, opened up a new chapter with the people of Cuba, and brought nearly 200 nations together around a climate agreement that could save this planet for our kids." He also gave a nod to the 2015 Supreme Court ruling to grant nationwide marriage equality.

Or the KGB (whatever that is called these days).
Only if he cops to foreign birth.
If he stays in DC and tries ti criticize what Trump does, I think it will backfire on the Obamadork. Just like pretty much everything else he does.
In many backrooms and lobbyist offices he will.
This petulant, little, child needs to be sent away to his room.
I suspect Trump will masterfully negotiate Obama into heading west, Cal or Hawaii, to spend time golfing.
Obama tried to destroy the US, but failed because we are that resilient
He has 3 weeks left and is still trying
Bring it, you motherless f*ck.
Skin that smoke wagon and see what happens.
Some body’s got to tell Jug Ears when he’s out of office no one’s going to give two rips what he thinks or says. Thanks to him and a terrible Democrat candidate his party’s agenda was thoroughly rejected by the majority of the American people and it’s constituencies reduced to minority status.
I think that lobbyists are going to have a hard row to hoe when the buck stops at Trump to sign off on the graft that they are able to infuse through Congress. Despite what people THINK Trump is, he is not an idiot.
And that is grounds for President Trump to act on the NDAA regarding domestic terrorists and insurrection. This demonstrates exactly why Trump needs to drain the swamp in Washington DC.
That s great.
The wun suddenly declares his Kenyan or Indonesian birth along with a legitimate certificate and other legal papers and there goes that pesky restriction.
That’s my conspiracy theory.
Obama who?
I bet Jeff Sessions will be able to make him keep his yap shut
Private Citizen(of some country) with Zero power will turn Super Idiot
What progress?
He didn’t really step down. Antonio Guterres of Portugal is the new secretary general and they change seats on January 1st.
