Obama ditching promise of “smooth” transition to Trump

President Obama is dishing out a much rockier transfer of power to Donald Trump than he received from his predecessor eight years ago, from accusing the president-elect of being aided by Russian hackers, to first lady Michelle Obama complaining that the nation has lost hope.

Despite pledging a “smooth and efficient” transition on the day after Mr. Trump’s victory, Mr. Obama has presided over an increasingly acrimonious war of words between the White House and the president-elect’s team.

The awkward hand-off of the baton stands in stark contrast to the cooperative atmosphere fostered by Republican George W. Bush’s White House in 2008 when Mr. Obama was preparing to take office, an example of unity that Obama advisers still talk about.

Obama is a man of many promises, but delivers only on promises to himself.

... or really blast him with 300 characters at #GAB

[Huskrrrr]

Obama, Trump is your legacy.

[RoosterRedux]

Obama will soon be erased from history...well, except for his crimes. Who cares what he says at this point.

[arthurus]

The Clintons stole the WH furniture and silverware and trashed all the keyboards and some more. It is what Democrats do.

Note to self: Do not vote for community organizers.

[ryderann]

You’re right! Maybe Trump will explain the meaning of sedition to him.

[Nifster]

Why is anyone surprised?

[A_perfect_lady]

I recall what Newt Gingrich said last Monday at The Heritage Foundation, "Donald Trump is the grizzly bear in The Revenant. If you get his attention, he’ll be awake, bite your face off, and sit on you."

I want to see some variant of this happen, if only symbolically, or legally, or socially. I want to see it so bad.

[jazusamo]

Right on...Worst president in history and that’s saying a lot.

[realcleanguy]

Democrats are insurrectionists

[WashingtonFire]

I think Obama got wind that his treason will be fully investigated once Trump is inaugurated .

You better believe there will be w full criminal investigation of the crimes of the administration. And You better believe jail and execution are going to be options for the guilty .

We are going to see a mass exodus of the globalist elite thr night prior to Trumps inauguration . Obama , Clinton and the Bush’s are currently in the process of identifying where they can go with imunity .

Democrats, the political types at least, are classless.
When the Bush administration came to the WH in 2001 the Clinton gang had ransacked the offices, scratching the 'W' off keyboards for instance. Then Bill & Hill looted the living area taking an estimated $200 thousand in various artifacts and furniture ... most of it had to be returned after a inventory audit revealed that it was missing.
Classless sleaze ...

[Just mythoughts]

He must owe Hillry big time.

[wrench]

Or Jeff Sessions

[jazusamo]

I wouldn’t be at all surprised if there’s a repeat with these two but doubt the enemedia will expose it.

[WashingtonSource]

Every word he utters is a lie. Every promise he makes he breaks. Every thought that comes from his mind is propaganda, disinformation and misinformation.

[Future Snake Eater]

I never expected anything else.

[Sasparilla]

... hope somebody counted the White House silverware...

Hope he doesn’t throw a match on the curtains a he walks out the front door. Anything is possible.

[Thibodeaux]

the wookie will not take the White house silver. There are just too many strange spoons and forks to be really useful
