Obama back in the news

Historically, former Presidents take time off when they leave the Oval Office and maintain a respectable silence while their successors get broken in. It is quite revealing that ten days into the Trump Presidency, former President Obama interjected himself into the controversy surrounding the Current President's Executive Order on refugees and immigration from Muslim majority countries that have had nothing to do with terrorist attacks on the United States. The former President's vocal support for the protestors should signal the "professional" elements of the Trump Administration that a course correction is necessary and that governing based on the support from the minority of the population that enabled a slim electoral college victory in November is not a sustainable strategy given the majority of the country view this Presidency (at historically comparable periods) at record negative levels.
