How vocal and how visible?

How will Obama be January 21st?

Protocol calls for former Presidents to not critique the incoming...but these aren't "protocol" times we live in are they?

1. He doesn't owe Trump a thing

especially since Trump is not honoring the one president at a time rule

2. I doubt Obama will make himself available to the media

for at least a few weeks, maybe a few months after leaving office.

Inevitably, he will be confronted with a bunch of "how badly has Trump messed up" questions later in 2017 and however long Drumpf lasts before getting impeached.

I think Obama will be reluctant to criticize Don the Con directly except on particular issues. Obama is masterful at stating his case without sounding petty or taking potshots, but he will probably be direct when the Drumpf administration makes a major misstep.

3. I think that's a fair analysis

Much in tune with his personality type.

4. He'll be vacationing in a warm place.

And I won't be surprised if he, eventually, critiques when criticism is due.

5. He will be quiet for months. Probably best thing. Looking forward to some good books

from both Obamas, Clinton too. Hope Trump writes one from prison.

6. Impeach and imprison

Should be one of our new slogans after DT-Day

7. I get the sentiment, but I probably won't use that, at least yet. Getting House on board

will be extremely difficult, but GOPers might turn on him.
