By Dave Boyer - The Washington TimesPresident Obama wouldn’t promise Sunday that he will resist nagging Donald Trump from the sidelines after he leaves office, despite his predecessor, George W. Bush, studiously avoiding criticism of his presidency. The president said as a citizen “who cares deeply about our country,” he might feel the need to weigh in on “core questions about our values and our ideals.”“If I think it’s necessary or helpful for me to defend those ideals, then I’ll examine it when it comes,” Mr. Obama said at a press conference in Lima, Peru. He acknowledged that Mr. Bush “could not have been more gracious to me” when he took office. Mr. Obama, who called Mr. Trump unfit to serve as president during the campaign, said he would try to stay out of the Republican’s way. “I want to be respectful of the office and give the president-elect an opportunity to put forward his platform and his arguments without somebody popping off in every instance,” Mr. Obama said.
