... "Obama so far has not attacked Trump
despite pleas from some Democrats for him to jump into the
fight.
But the unusual circumstances of Obama’s post-presidency might lead him
to speak out. He put out a statement two weeks ago defending his
healthcare law against Republican efforts to repeal it.
His spokesman also published a statement one week after he left office
cheering protests against Trump’s travel ban.
A source close to Obama says the president is reluctant to join the
fray.
“It’s not in anyone’s interest ... for [Obama] to become the face of
the resistance or narrate the Trump presidency,” the source said. “He’s

suppresses the next generation of leaders from rising.”
As the GOP attacks intensify on specific members of Obama’s
administration, however, it could be more difficult for the former
president to disengage.

posse member,
the face of resistance behind every Hollywood and entertainment
industry agitator and the looming face of resistance behind the
progressive left Democrats desperate to overturn the results of
November’s election.
