"The presidency and the vice presidency is bigger than any of us," Obama said in the Rose Garden of the White House, flanked by Vice President Biden. “We are all rooting for his success in uniting and leading the country.” Obama's remarks came less than half an hour after Hillary Clinton's public concession speech in New York, in which she called on the nation to approach Trump's administration with an "open mind." Obama congratulated Clinton on her campaign, calling her a role model to daughters across the country and predicting she and former President Bill Clinton will continue to do "great work." The president added that he was heartened by Trump’s remarks early Wednesday morning, in which he called for the country to come together. Obama and Trump are set to meet at the White House on Thursday. "It is no secret that the president-elect and I have some pretty significant differences,” Obama said. But he reminded Americans that the same was true about him and then-President George W. Bush in 2008, and he praised the previous administration for making that transition a smooth one.
After dropping out of sight for a pair of glamorous island getaways, Obama is emerging for a series of paid and unpaid speeches, drawing sharp contrasts with Trump even as he avoids saying the new president's name. He's wielding his influence overseas, offering his support for some of the international political candidates who are clamoring for his endorsement. His aides are engaging in real-time political combat with Trump, including revealing Monday that Obama personally warned his successor against tapping embattled Michael Flynn as his national security adviser.
After a long period of withdrawal from the public eye, Organizing for Action, the political group that grew out of Barack Obama's first presidential campaign, is ramping back up for the Trump era with a focus on defending the Affordable Care Act and training grassroots organizers, officials tell NBC News. Had Hillary Clinton won the presidency, OFA was likely headed for a wind-down. But with Trump in the White House, the relaunched OFA will claim a spot in the increasingly crowded marketplace of groups looking to fight the new president's agenda. OFA has hired 14 field organizers in states home to key senators as part of its campaign to defend Obama's signature healthcare law. To run that campaign, the group hired Saumya Narechania -- the former national field director at Enroll America, which worked to sign people up for Obamacare -- and a deputy campaign manager.

Obama's lack of class? HAHAHAHAHAHA! How this phrase can even be uttered in the age of Donald Trump is beyond me.
This shameless act Obama and His undying minion brigade have been doing, as if He shouldn't have 100% of the disgrace Bush too deserved, is highly troubling about the sanity of our society.

HAHAHAHAHA Good job defending the idiocy in this thread! Donald Trump takes the taco in the lack of class department. To even TRY to drag Obama's name through the mud here is just ridiculous. Obama took time out of his day to teach Trump how to President and Trump repaid him by accusing him (without ANY evidence whatsoever) of wiretapping him during the election.
You guys are being delusional here and have zero room to talk about who has class and who doesn't.

Seems to me people just need something to whine about. Trump, a man with very little class himself, won the election so they have to continue to bitch and moan about Obama or Hillary.
It's hard to change one's way when they have become obsessive.

You think the Bush bashing ended the day he left office? Hell no, I should know I was one of the ringleaders while being every bit as much anti-Obama already then (because He was but an extension of Bush).
Your deflective logic is silly, as its not like the Trump conservatives have much to whine about as of yet.
It's the liberal hordes that have proven to be the biggest sore loser whiney cry babies in US history (which if I were you I'd be so embarrassed by it I'd part way with the Democrat's over it its such a disgrace), with Obama effectively ringleading the charge no less.
And it all stems from this Ultimate Shameless Warrior wrastling routine you guys have been running amok with.
Obama is an even bigger disgrace than Bush ever was, before even counting in this metric here, and you have the mindlessness to trump it up as whining?
