Obama and His Movement Prepare to Challenge President Trump

From NBC News: http://www.nbcnews.com/politics/barack-obama/obama-his-movement-prepare-challenge-president-trump-n704866

Excerpt: Obama is beginning to telegraph a post-presidency different from George W. Bush, who largely receded from politics altogether after his eight years in office. Obama has said that he will press the Democratic Party to organize more effectively, from fielding strong candidates in school board and state legislative elections across the country to making sure the party's candidates campaign in more conservative areas.

I'm glad he won't be doing anything to appear to be in DT's way, because then the gop would whine for four years.
