Put this in the list of “things we totally expected” once President Obama leaves office:
Obama says that once he's out of office, he will not remain silent if Trump goes too far in undoing his legacy https://t.co/Y0tPvDz5dE

From the NYT:
“I’m going to be constrained in what I do with all of you until I am again a private citizen,” Mr. Obama, who will be living a few miles from the White House next year, told a meeting this past week of Organizing for Action, the group that maintains his political movement. “But that’s not so far off.”
Keep in mind, President George W. Bush didn’t criticize President Obama in public, which is why when these private statements leaked out in 2015 it made headlines:

So President Obama is already telling the media he won’t extend that same courtesy and graciousness to President Trump? As we wrote earlier, “expected”:

And as for Obama’s statement to his OFA group, that’s not sitting well with the former digital fundraising director for Bernie Sanders, Tim Tagaris:

Whoa. It’s all about him, isn’t it?
@nytimes its only the "legacy" he'll fight for? Its about him, not us? It'll be dispiriting a 2nd time
