WNU Editor: President Obama will always have an audience, and I am sure that many in the mainstream media will always run to him for his opinion on an issue .... doubly so since there is no "Democrat leader" on the stage.

But unlike past Presidents .... he will be very active and visible .... and I predict that he will be opposing most (if not all) of President Trump's initiatives.
