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.

Obama will just drift away into oblivion and irrelevance. That`s assuming he`s not charged for any of his crimes and thrown in jail.

He`s of no more use to the left so there`ll be no more handlers around to help him create an image of gravitas or intellegence. What`s a lazy, boring and not particularly bright narcissist to do once he`s no longer useful?

Obama has no idea what American ideals are. He routinely criticizes Americans and our form of government, his favorite venue for doing so is foreign countries.

Pushing without leverage causes the pusher to be moved.

As Obama's predecessor, George W Bush, did. It was gracious and statesman-like, and Obama would be well-advised to follow it. Given his penchant for being an insufferable egotist who thinks he knows better than all the bitter clingers, I don't believe he will.

The Green Day group is on stage now at the American Music Awards. They were shouting, “No facists, no Trump no KKK in my USA!” Zer0 and his fellow travelers have created a false narrative that needs to be broken. The American people have been fed a steady diet of lies and misinformation for too long.

In the course of eight years in office he wrestled from jimmy carter the title of worse president in the history of America. Looks like he’s going to go after carter again for the title of worse ex-president in the history of America as well.

There may be a lot of things said about President George W. Bush, but he always maintained his silence once Obuma took over.....a lesson obviously not learned by the current inhabitant of our House.

Obama is soon to discover how truly hated he is and it won’t be pretty.

Obama needs to be silenced. The best way to do that is to release all his documents from university and law school.

Uh huh. This from the guy who needed us to see him on the Super Bowl, the NBA playoffs, the baseball All-Star Game, the Grammys, the CMT Awards, Jeopardy, the Emmys, American Idol, "Ellen", "The View", and multiple times on every morning show and late night talk show there is, who never saw a local incident involving a black guy and a white guy that he didn't feel compelled to comment on (before taking the time to "read the paper" about the trivial matters of international wars &c), and who regularly takes the time to use his office to criticize individual citizens by name.
