Obama on Trump: 'We are now all rooting for his success'
CNN ^ | 11-9-2016 | Kevin Liptak, Eugene Scott and Allie Malloy

Washington (CNN)An emphatically upbeat President Barack Obama promised Wednesday to work toward a "smooth transition" of power to the man he's spent the last year denigrating, insisting that despite his differences with President-elect Donald Trump he would uphold the central tenet of American democracy.

Speaking in the Rose Garden as some of his aides sobbed, Obama made a deliberate effort to counter Democrats' crushing sense of doom at the prospect of four years of President Trump. "It is no secret that the President-elect and I have some pretty significant differences," Obama said with Vice President Joe Biden at his side. "We are now all rooting for his success in uniting and leading the country."

I think he’s just saying this to rub Hillary’s nose in it.

Democrats' crushing sense of doom

Crush your enemies. See them driven before you.

as some of his aides sobbed

Hear the lamentation of their women (and pajamaboys).

The antichrist says crap like this to appear gracious as he's about to wreck the place and will blame it on others. Everyone needs to go on Obama Watch.

I’m hoping this psychopathic misfit will either leave the country or suffer some deadly fate. The hatred he has spread is palpable. He can pretend and speak otherwise, but his actions get in the way. May he rot in hell.

“They bring a knife to the fight, we bring a gun”. As said by Obama.

Maybe, somehow, inexplicably in Barack’s emotional perspective... Donald Trump is the worthy, caring father who has finally stepped forward out of the chaos, taken charge, and mirabile dictu did not torch the house down like Barack was scared would happen. And in spite of Barack little lefty heart, he sees a guy who is not expecting his pee to be reverenced.

This whole affair bears more striking than normal hallmarks of the work of God.

Maybe some may be skeptical of this, but I’d be in favor of praying that, if it isn’t exactly so, something like it would be so.

Sweep the Oval Office for bugs, President Trump. Oh. And also listening devices.

But you MUST remember, when Obola says words that you (and I want to hear and agree with) he does not believe those words himself and is deliberately lying.

When Obola says words that you (and I) hate and despise, he DOES mean those words and WILL IMPLEMENT them as soon as he can.

You’re only seeing this mature and magnanimous acting Obama because he didn’t want Hillary to succeed him anyway. Obama just wants her to stay quiet about any email crimes that may also implicate him. I think in the last seven days, he somehow realized that this Trump Tidal Wave was about to happen. Hillary had an inkling as well, that something wasn’t Kosher, which is why she canceled those NY fireworks.

How sweet it is! I think Trump’s idea of success is very different from Obama’s.

LOL. Hussein is turning out to be a treasure trove of quotes which Trump could use, and the lefty media would be left sputtering when he pointed out, “I’m only quoting Obama, you agreed, with gloating glee, when he said these things first”.

The drill is that the outgoing president is expected to show the incoming president how things operate, no matter what party rivalries and bitterness there may be.

Maybe God will work a supernatural peace over the situation of both men. Maybe Barack will come out of it confessing that Donald wasn’t even half as bad as he feared.

Barack missed his father. Donald is now America’s daddy (on earth).

He was polite, conciliatory and cheerful.

Makes me wonder what he’s up to.
