Good read about this exactly. To quote:
Obama can see just as well as everyone else that the most reliable predictor of what Trump will do as president is the opposite of what he said or did. He’s decided the best play is to not give Trump any more to play off of than his successor already has.
“We are mindful of the dynamic that we’re in — which is the risk of backlash is real, and so we don’t want to give this administration an excuse to do the wrong thing, and we also don’t want to give Congress an excuse to do nothing,” said an Obama adviser involved with the deliberations on Tuesday. |
I appreciate Obama's support, but he couldn't pass anything for us when he had the leverage of being President. He needs to just sit back on this one. Schumer and Pelosi hold our lives in their hands right now.
