I will always make myself available to him just as previous presidents have made themselves available to me.
Barack Obama
The Public Record
Barack Obama served as the 44th President of the United States from January 20, 2009, to January 20, 2017. A member of the Democratic Party, he previously represented Illinois in the U.S. Senate from 2005 to 2008 and served in the Illinois State Senate from 1997 to 2004. Obama is known for his signature policies including the Affordable Care Act, also known as Obamacare, and his efforts in economic recovery following the 2008 financial crisis. His presidency was marked by significant legislative achievements and a focus on healthcare reform, climate change, and foreign policy initiatives such as the Iran nuclear deal.

I think ultimately is he's pragmatic in that way. And that can serve him well. As long as he's got good people around him and he has a clear sense of direction.
Based on uniform intelligence assessments, the Russians were responsible for hacking the DNC, I will confirm that this happened at the highest levels of the Russian government and I will let you make that determination as to whether there…
I think it should be not just the prerogative, but the obligation of a new President, to examine everything that's been done.
American values and American ideals are what will lead the way to a safer and more prosperous 2017, both here and abroad.
I still believe what I said in 2004, which is this red State/blue thing is a construct.
