Insofar Obama has steered clear of explicitly endorsing anyone in particular, although his most recent comments have been interpreted as a rebuke of Sanders and Warren.
I wonder: are the any statistics compiled on how (un)common is for former US president to endorse or not somebody (else) in a subsequent presidential race? And maybe these stats are split by support during primaries or just thereafter. Or even by explicit or more veiled support...
Just spitballing, but I'd gather it's rare that they do -- at least for a term or more.
In the US and elsewhere it's common for the heads of state or government to keep a low profile for a while after leaving office. There are exceptions. See for instance Grover Cleveland, who not only didn't keep a low profile but went on to be the only US president to server two non-consecutive terms.
Insofar as I've seen throughout my adulthood, or read in history books during the same period, there aren't many exceptions in democracies in recent history. (But I don't have statistics handy, so take this with a grain of salt.)
(In monarchies, by contrast, it's commonplace. You basically want to endorse your designated heir in such a context. And this likely explains, if only in part, why democratically elected heads of states or governments avoid endorsing anyone for a while.)
