Probably going to get downvoted for saying this, I understand wanting to step down from politics, but a lot of people looked to Obama for words of encouragement and it's a little disappointing how long it took him to stand up and say something. Especially since Obama is the only person that really terrifies Trump. He could have made a bigger impact by speaking up sooner. Either way, thanks Obama.

Maybe he doesn't want to lose his security detail.

He's got a net worth of 250 million dollars. He can afford private security.

Private security is nowhere near as good as the Secret Service.

The Secret Service that deleted all those texts from January 5th and 6th, 2021? Classic oopsie....
