President Obama phoned Donald Trump early Wednesday morning “to congratulate him on his victory,” the White House said in a statement.

“The President also called Secretary Clinton and expressed admiration for the strong campaign she waged throughout the country,” the statement said.

Obama invited Trump to meet with him at the White House on Thursday to discuss the transition.

“Ensuring a smooth transition of power is one of the top priorities the President identified at the beginning of the year and a meeting with the President-elect is the next step,” the statement said.

Don’t go, President-Elect Trump. It’s a trap!

I’d find other things to do on Thursday instead of dealing with the petulant man-child known as “Brak Obama”.

As much as I can’t stand Obama, somehow I think his transition will be a lot classier than when Bill left the White House and they trashed the place. But I’m not counting my chickens just yet.

and touch NOTHING, including any of his or her hands/body parts! I’m serious.

Intelligence agencies have access to many ways of killing people with means that far beyond anything the rest of us can begin to imagine.

At least Obama won’t steal the silverware when he goes. After all, he’s not flat broke like the Clintons were when they were evicted.

Ensuring a smooth transition of power is one of the top priorities

Smooth transition from treason to patriotism? That'll be the day.

I’d be ok with Trump letting Hillary skate (given her health, she’s done politically), and Obama (assuming he’s actually broken laws). What I want to see are the weenies that suck up to them FRY, such as the computer geeks that copped an attitude during the hearings a month ago, and most of his underlings that did the same. They all did so expecting Hillary to bail them out...they (and mainly future people in those positions) need to understand that we have laws, and they apply even if you despise who runs Congress.

Talk about awkward. Obama will be looking the guy in the eye that will destroy his legacy. Deservedly so.

Obama will try to sell Trump on the idea of not pursuing charges against Hillary and her minions. He’ll succeed as well as he did in bringing the Olympics to Chicago.

What could Trump possibly derive from such a meeting?

One great thing about the Trump win is Pence. He is a great guy and could step right in if anything happened to Trump. A great selection.
