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.

So what will the ousted dictator, Obama, do if Trump doesn’t follow Obama’s orders? Will Obama us his ISIS army to attack us? I expect Cloward-Piven / Alinsky "overwhelming the system" internal attacks by Communists and Muslims in government as well as the usual Soros/Globalist external attacks.

Trump better clean house FAST; deep and wide.

Obama may know what Islamic Ideals are.
Obama may know what Black Lives Matter Ideals are.
Obama may know what Radical Left agenda Ideals are.
Obama may know what criminal, thug Ideals are.
Obama may know what self-hating American Ideals are.
Obama may know what Reverend Wright Ideals are.
Obama may know what Muslim Brotherhood Ideals are.
Obama may know what Apologetic Ideals are.
Obama may know what weakening US international posture Ideal are.
...but he sure as heck doesn't have a clue what US Ideals are.

Barack Hussein has never done anything but destroy American ideals. The only reason he hasn’t done even more damage in that direction is that he is not sure what American ideals are.

Once America gets her swagger back after a few big wins, Obama’s popping off is going to look absurd.
Nothing will ever come of it. Nothing. Trump will have too thoroughly defanged him.

0bama will be the source of all sorts of Fake News stories by the LSM. They have lots of space to fill and polls won’t do at this point of the POTUS election cycle.

He’s not an American. He wasn’t raised as an American. He’s a freak raised by freaks. He never believed in America. He’s a foreigner.

Just in case you thought Obama might develop a sense of responsibility or class after the Presidency, he informs you otherwise.
To: WMarshal
Obami is forgetting that he WILL NO BE THE PRESIDENT at that future time. You know who else won't be?...
Hillary.
Just wanted to brighten your day...

As irrelevant as we can make him, like old inner tube tires or bad cheese.

You said you would fix our infrastructure, Obama. Where did those trillions of dollars go to?
To: PROCON
Obama wants to continue being the president after his term is over. This is a bad thing but not entirely a precedent. Democrats since carter have been very defensive of their legacy. Clinton has been the loudest because he’s the biggest criminal ever to inhabit the whitehouse. Obama will be the same in order to cover up his tracks.
It is also possible that we’re reaching for a point where Obama could represent a Jefferson Davis.

He meant Marxist ideals, of course.
This mentally defective egomaniac simply CANNOT come to terms with the fact that he is now utterly irrelevant.
