This is part of a pattern of behavior with Barack Obama that goes back to 2008. If you recall back then he said he would accept public financing for the campaign just as John McCain did and as soon as he figured out he could actually raise more money than public financing would get him, he flip-flopped on that issue.
Fleischer critiques Obama's history of changing positions for political advantage.

I think in the Trump White House there are no standard rules. Everybody's job is amped-up and more difficult, and that's because of the personality, the nature of the President and the way the President conducts himself.
Barack Obama didn't have any interest in extending America's guiding hand. He wanted to end it and get out of there.
He made a mistake. He shouldn't have done it, and I'm glad he apologized.
