More whataboutism from you. Why am I not surprised?
Obama didn't run for office by deliberately and overtly appealing to (and seeking the support of) leftist anarchists as Trump did with the Alt-Right, nor did he have a bunch of them on his White House staff. For that matter, leftist anarchists weren't fans of Obama or his governing philosophy, unlike the love affair the Neo-Nazis have for your Dear Leader.
The reason people wanted Trump to speak out against the Alt-Right was because he has empowered, emboldened and supported their ascendance while hiring a number of them to his White House staff. Obama did none of the above for the leftist anarchists. In short, they were not his people. The Alt-Right and Neo-Nazis are, however, most assuredly Trump people.
