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 — The New York Times (@nytimes) November 20, 2016

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”:

Clearly the measure of @realDonaldTrump 's effectiveness will be how loud this guy squeals https://t.co/3ZrIhIuMgg — Dinesh D'Souza (@DineshDSouza) November 20, 2016

He ought to respect there's a NEW POTUS and NOT say anything as Bush did for him. and is tradition. https://t.co/trm4ul1Onx — slone (@slone) November 20, 2016

Well then, we should be hearing from the ex-president quickly:

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:

Unfortunate the OFA list hasn't exercised these muscles since the 2008 campaign or ACA fight. Lotta bumper stickers and contests though. https://t.co/meG2kkbJSK — Tim Tagaris (@ttagaris) November 20, 2016

Whoa. It’s all about him, isn’t it?

@ttagaris @nytimes its only the "legacy" he'll fight for? Its about him, not us? It'll be dispiriting a 2nd time — Al Simon (@AlSimonSays) November 20, 2016
