President Barack Obama famously boasted to Republicans first week in office that 'elections have consequences' and the winner gets to set the agenda.
The outgoing president is eating his own words eight years later on the verge of Donald Trump's tenure in the Oval Office.
'I don't want to sugarcoat it. There are consequences to elections,' he told Rolling Stone a day after the Republican won the presidential election.
Obama said he was 'disappointed' but not 'dismayed,' and despite his claims throughout the election that Trump wouldn't win, Obama told Rolling Stone 'the odds of Donald Trump winning were always around 20 percent.'
'One out of five is not that unusual. It's not a miracle.'
