There are Obama insiders who support it and Obama can frame it in a way that it is not a political witch hunt (it is structured to be outside of Congress with no politocos on the commission) and is in step with his strong belief in a more open and transparent government.

I think you need to have a compelling case of alleged abuses before requiring such an "exit" commission for all future presidents...but absolutely, if the new or future presidents are believed to have overstepped their Constitutional authority, something similar should be in place.
