Barack And Michelle Obama React To Trump's Victory
Huffpost ^ | 11/7/2024 | Josephine Harvey

Barack and Michelle Obama on Wednesday called on Americans to listen to one another and abide by democratic norms in a statement reacting to Donald Trump’s victory over Kamala Harris in the presidential election.

The former president and first lady began by congratulating the president-elect and his running mate, JD Vance.

“This is obviously not the outcome we had hoped for, given our profound disagreements with the Republican ticket on a whole host of issues. But living in a democracy is about recognizing that our point of view won’t always win out, and being willing to accept the peaceful transfer of power,” they said.

The Obamas said they were incredibly proud of Vice President Harris and her running mate, Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz, lauding their “extraordinary” public service and “remarkable campaign.” They also thanked all the staff and volunteers who supported their efforts.

“As I said on the campaign trail, America has been through a lot over the last few years — from a historic pandemic and price hikes resulting from the pandemic, to rapid change and the feeling a lot of folks have that, no matter how hard they work, treading water is the best they can do,” the statement said.

“Those conditions have created headwinds for democratic incumbents around the world, and last night showed that America is not immune.”

They finished with some “good news,” noting that those problems are solvable.

“But only if we listen to each other, and only if we abide by the core constitutional principles and democratic norms that made this country great,” they wrote.

Holder picking Tampon Tim doomed Harris.
The failure of the original plan that Biden was going to resign the end of 2023 doomed the Obama Empire.
No more 40 years of Democrat Rule.

It is interesting that now NYC, Chicago and SF have all failed with their long term plans for the RATS.
It is going to be interesting who rises to the top after the 2024 train wreck.

I’m guessing Trump has some real dirt on these two. They thought he was out for the count, and now he could spill the works on them (if so inclined).

“...price hikes resulting from the pandemic...”

The price hikes were entirely due to the Biden regime $trillion dollar money printing machine to pay for the Ukraine war and 20 million illegals aliens (transportation, shelter, healthcare, EBT cards). This is what caused the inflation.

Everyone is acting way too weird and way too nice. Where’s the election denial, where was the over abundant cheating on Tuesday, where’s Antifa? This has gone seamlessly and probably too good to be true.
