LIMA, Peru (AP) President Barack Obama said Sunday he doesn't intend to become his successor's constant critic but reserved the right to speak out if President-elect Donald Trump or his policies breach certain "values or ideals."
Offering a rare glimpse into his thoughts on his post-presidency, Obama suggested once he was out of office he would uphold the tradition of ex-presidents stepping aside quietly to allow their successors space to govern.

He means ...”defend MY legacy”, but he’ll be out of office and will only make things worse for himself, should he actually pull this crap. He’ll have less than NO power, come Jan. 20th; thank GOD!
“Offering a rare glimpse into his thoughts” -— nothing rare, he never shuts up. He is always giving us lectures on his thoughts.
He still won't accept that Trump being elected had anything to do with him.
Forever remembered as the "Me-Me, I, I" president.
There is no statement this maroon has ever uttered that did not and does not have the word “but” in it.
Obama you so carrazeee!
The electorate just pushed back on you for US ideals
He’ll never get it. He’s not from here
Bkmk
So Obama will chime in...and the press will be critics of Trump from day 1 of his Presidency. To what end? You’d think by now they would have figured out Trump does not bow to the opinions of the press or the Dems, and the voting public are “onto” their tactics..
“...Obama suggested once he was out of office he would uphold the tradition of ex-presidents stepping aside quietly to allow their successors space to govern.”
You can’t believe anything he says.
lol
If you’re young you can recover but as most of us are alot older 8 years is very significant.I am just happy we the people are taking our country back from the commie globalists.Now if Ford can win a championship next year I will be content.
And what position of power will he wield after he leaves office?
(crickets)
If he has any kind of position, it would be in the UN who exists at the US’s whim (and checkbook)
0bama has no idea what he is going to be up against next year and the year after while Trump gets to rebuild.
So much whining and gnashing of teeth, we will hear.
Lol at the tough guy. Bring it. Watching Trump swat you like a fly will amuse all.
Obama’s words are a great example of what the Left are taught to keep saying: “These are OUR values,” hoping the fools listening will believe that they are their own values. A lot of useful idiots do parrot the same thing. Obama wouldn’t keep trying to brainwash them, if it didn’t work. Many have awakened from their stupor. Somebody turned on the light and there’s no fooling those any more. The only ones whose desires these actually are from conviction are Communists, Marxists, and Anarchists.
What he means is if Trump tries to undo his agenda, which is going to happen sooner than he thinks.
0bama prison if he opprsses US law.
He’s still yapping...
[[he would uphold the tradition of ex-presidents stepping aside quietly to allow their successors space to govern.]]
BS
The tagline is so fitting and spot on!
