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."

The clod in the White House speaks the words which must be spoken.

Privately, he’s chewing his own arm off.

...meanwhile, back at the ranch, Obama to minions. “Scorched earth, I tell you. Take no prisoners! Make it impossible for them to undo my legacy! No fly, my little pretties.”

Step one

make some sort of gesture that convinces folks you’re a really great team player ‘for the nation’

Step two

start making some small suggestions, now we must work together for the public good

Step three

make your demands mandatory by saying you’ve gone out of your way to be nice, why can’t the other side

Step four

demand compromises that you were never willing to make, saying your side is willing to give in a little too (which you never will), and denigrate the other side for not capitulating

Step five

after you get concessions, keep escalating the demands until the other side has become your side, and then don’t let up, coming up with more ideas that are dead center of your side’s ideological core

Step six

When your side is in power again, discard all this

don’t give an inch

when the other side tries to pull this routine on you, simply tell them you’ll see them in four years

‘’A smooth transition..’’. How accommodating of him. I still can’t believe Trump won. I’m in a dream. I’ve lived on a thin diet of hope deferred thinking I’d never get to see my country be saved from Leftist dysfunction and a growing tyranny. Thank you God.

The cynic in me says the Democrat’s posturing is all for show. I HOPE I’m wrong. If so, I will CHANGE my attitude.

Don't you think he's relieved that he doesn't have to deal with the uproar, lawsuits, subpoenas, etc that a Hillary win would have brought about?? Now all he has to do is unconditionally pardon Hillary and move on with his life. I would rather see her in jail(justly deserved) but that is not gonna happen.

Well, Obama does really hate the Clintons, so perhaps he is just a bit happy today.

Gee, reminds me of the distraction before the death blow in movies. See I am your friend but I am plotting to destroy you behind you back.

As in the bible, rivalries and alliances don’t always work out the way we might think on the surface.

Maybe Barack is secretly grateful that FINALLY those wicked puppet meisters have met their nemesis. He was in bondage to them; now he’s free. A superior power has appeared on the scene.

Trump (and Repub Congress) will roll back most of what Obama did:

Obamacare, Iran deal, and executive orders.

What Trump can’t roll back are Obama’s appointments to the federal judiciary.

I doubt you will change your attitude. I am also very cynical of the rats. He doesn't mean a word he says. It's all for show.

the hurt he experienced as a child due to the absence of a father and how children needed fathers in their lives.

All the while he was destroying the economy, driving more people into the welfare rolls, with further destruction of the black family.

All that the Kenyan Klown can do is speechify and bamboozle. Otherwise he's completely useless.

Makes me wonder what he’s up to.

He's going to run to get back into the Senate in 2018, and possibly become Senate Majority Leader should the Rats retake the Senate.
