Obama doesn't care. He and his family are set for life, and if USA becomes to hostile toward them, they'll move to another NATO country and live like royalty.

Idk about smug, but I do see where you’re coming from.

It’s entirely pointless and definitely irritating to keep hearing ‘when I was in charge we did things differently’ when the bar is as low as it is right now. It does not help, and clearly serves the ego of the speaker. To say as a leader that you did things ‘better’ back then is low hanging fruit and an incredibly poor and patronizing attempt at continuing your role as a leader. Waxing nostalgic about your time as leader does absolutely fuck all to help us out of this, which you of all people have more power than any of us to do. Otherwise this is what it is: lip service and an easy ‘gimme’ he thinks we side with him on.

Don’t get me wrong: he alone cannot pull us out of this, and I agree he indeed contributed to the eventuality we now call reality.
