Do you remember any president ever mentioning, a year into his presidency, the opponents in the previous race?
Isn't it kind of odd?

I'm not getting a clear picture of what you're trying to say, but Bill Clinton and Barack Obama said negative things about the other parties candidates in the previous race. If I recall correctly, it was mentioned at the time that they had broken an understood courtesy of not speaking ill of the previous administration.
In any case, there is this thing referred to as "the first time." Is it odd that something happens for the first time? Actually, don't all things have a first time?
First times often are odd because they are different. Is odd or different bad? What is your point? Are we supposed to be shocked or indignant?
