Surprise: Obama is Already Back And He's Supporting People Protesting Trump's Policies

When President Obama left the White House for the final time on January 20, he tweeted the following.

Hi everybody! Back to the original handle. Is this thing still on? Michelle and I are off on a quick vacation, then we’ll get back to work. — Barack Obama (@BarackObama) January 20, 2017

It was a short trip.

In light of President Trump's recent executive order freezing refugee admission from seven different countries, countries originally identified by the Obama administration as terror hot spots, former President Obama is chiming in. From POLITICO:

Kevin Lewis, spokesman for Obama in his post-presidency, said that Obama — who has been threading the balance between the tradition of presidents deferring to their successors and coming out against President Donald Trump on specific issues he considered core values — “is heartened by the level of engagement taking place in communities around the country.”

It is Obama's first statement since leaving the White House.

“Citizens exercising their Constitutional right to assemble, organize and have their voices heard by their elected officials is exactly what we expect to see when American values are at stake,” Lewis said.

“With regard to comparisons to President Obama’s foreign policy decisions, as we’ve heard before, the president fundamentally disagrees with the notion of discriminating against individuals because of their faith or religion,” Lewis said.

Notice how Obama failed to mention his historical and massive failures in Syria, Libya, Yemen and general Middle East region, which led Trump to this point. Not to mention the creation of ISIS, a direct result of President Obama's political decision to leave Iraq early.

Obama will no doubt be publicly commenting on Trump's policies and decisions as President. His commentary breaks from precedent set by President George W. Bush, who gave Obama the respect and space he deserved in his new role.

The Democrat Party no longer appears to be missing a leader.

He’s going to pretend to be the president in exile for the next 4 years.

The peaceful transfer is power is over and Marxist Democrats killed it.

As Obama discovers that no one is really paying attention to him, I predict he ramps it up in order to get attention for himself, and he will go out in the streets marching with Muslims and Black Lives Matters and other radical groups with rhetoric that will be just on the verge of inciting violence.

Games Onama Plays
1. Leave a long list of “dangerous” countries
(Knowing that if an attack comes from one of these countries and Trump does not take a stand against them he will be blamed for not doing the job.)

2 When DJT reacts to protect USA sick Soros gang and MSM on him

It’s a classic in Games People Play!

He may no longer be the Commander in Chief, but he still knows how to be the Community Organizer in Chief.

I see Valerie Jarrett allowed her puppet a 10 day pause before telling him what to think. God knows the skunk S.O.B. has never had an original thought in his miserable Muslim life.

Oh, I suspect he will have an audience, with his sycophant Media and all those who are protesting Trump’s actions. Yessirreee, he will be paid attention to.......until this country gets it’s rear in gear and starts being the prosperous, successful working country that we were before Obama’s tenure.

And any moment the media will be sighing a breath of relief that class and grace has come back to DC (in the form of Michelle Obama).

Yes, what were we to expect from the communist community organizer who is actually a low information brainwashed dolt. Look at his mentors:

A big yawn from Obama. Same as when he was in the WH. Some staffer wrote this statement and he says, "Yeah, okay, run with it." I wonder how big his current 'office' staff is? Who pays for that?

Didn’t we have a thread guessing the date he would open his trap? Shoot, he didn’t even make it to February!

Who won the bet on how many hours after “so help me God” it would be until Obama would be back in the ring?

Protesting is really his only skill.

We need to find a way to sue Obama over all the laws he broke as President. There has to be a way.The Democrat Party even today is supporting things that do not protect Americans,they enable terrorist. THEY ARE VIOLATING The Constitution.
