Remember what Obama said as he was getting ready to leave the White House for good? Lets refresh your memory shall we?

Specifically this:

Well, it seems that the former President has decided this is one of those times when American values as defined by him, are in danger.

Former President Barack Obama signaled his support for the protests in response to President Trump’s controversial immigration ban, his office said Monday in his first major statement since leaving the White House.

Yep, that’s correct. All the protestors who are weeping, wailing, and gnashing their teeth over the Executive Order issued by President Trump have a fan!

“President Obama is heartened by the level of engagement taking place in communities around the country. In his final official speech as President, he spoke about the important role of citizen and how all Americans have a responsibility to be the guardians of our democracy–not just during an election but every day,” Kevin Lewis, Obama’s spokesman, said.

“Citizens exercising their Constitutional right to assemble, organize and have their voices heard by their elected officials is exactly what we expect to see when American values are at stake.”

“Level of engagement??” THAT’S what he’s calling protests these days? “American values are at stake?” That’s rich coming from someone who has done SO much to undermine those values and has never met a mirror he didn’t like.
