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."

What I am aware of, concerning Barack’s life, is that he was a pathetic puppet. He was raised up to be the mindlessly obedient puppet of forces greater than himself. The Clintons among them. Barack may have had very few original thoughts in his entire life. He was a consummate figurehead.

This is as close to freedom as he may have yet gotten in his sad life. Donald rode onto the scene as the white knight slaying the dark, black lies that held Barack in thrall. Barack resented that until Donald cemented his power. Now Barack is seeing things differently, perhaps.

Donald should be careful, and we should cover the situation with prayers. But the Prince of Peace may yet bring peace, if Barack is willing. I certainly believe Donald is.

When asked who the president was my aging mother with Alzheimer's replied "Cocomoco." I wrote this song as a tribute to her unintentional humor sung to the tune of Kokomo by the Beach Boys.

0sama, 0bama, he acts just like his mama.

Oahu, Jakarta, he always thinks he's smarta!

Mombassa in Kenya, they all say they have seen ya.

You say went to Harvard not Riyadh,

but it sure seems like jihad.

And doncha know that we all know,

you're just a bruthah on the down low,

and at the bath house they all call you

Cocomoco.

I’m going to go against the grain here. Obola is happy Trump won, and will be more than happy to assist him in his prosecution of Obozo’s number one impediment to controlling the entire DNC.

“Welcome Mr. Trump. Here is the full Comey/Lynch report on the Clinton Foundation. Enjoy your Presidency!”

I don’t know about that. It’s not like being a Senator is that much work.

Obama is terrified Trump will investigate Hillary and Obama’s criminal activities. That is the reason for his public “attitude improvement.” You know that liar hates kissing up to someone who soon will have soon have the power to make his post presidency a living hell.

Yes, but CONGRESS is authorized to create Federal courts. The ability to dilute Hussein’s appointees exists. If they dare.

We’ll see what God works in the coming days, weeks, and years. Nothing’s normal now. Prayers can influence events to bring a greater witness of the power of the Lord.

The Supreme Court may afford opportunities for Donald Trump to at least have sane oversight of the leftist jurists. And maybe some of these jurists will simply become disgusted that their utopia is being pulled apart, and quit.

Indeed. We must keep in mind that the leaders of “Old Europe” are in their own way weeping like those people at HRC’s aborted victory celebration were last night.

Who knows. Intrigue can be intriguing. The Clintons certainly were the lightning rod of the fury that preceded the election. Wikileaks showed very little dirt about Obama.

But who knows. Obama might now want to apply for the position of Secretary General of the U.N. The Democrats may be too little for him.

I think he always WAS locked up, in his mind, the quintessential puppet of circumstance. Now he’s as close to being free as he ever has been.

The funeral of an old order. An old order which had its grip firmly on a chain around Barack’s neck.

That needs to be investigated and utilized, Congress’s power to regulate the courts.

Here’s a nuclear option that I’ve entertained:

Reorganize the federal courts so that the existing courts (and judges) have jurisdiction only over speeding on federal highways.

Then set up new courts (with new judges) for everything else.

That way you don’t run into any problem about cancelling lifetime appointments.

Expensive but worth it!

Me too. All of Soros’s money and all of Soros’s men couldn’t put the Clintons back in The White House again.

I agree. And I hope he does pardon her. With dad’s impeachment and mom’s Nixonion pardon, we wouldn’t have to worry about Chelsea running in a few years. Also President Trump will have two years to implement his agenda. He doesn’t need to deal with the Clintons too. Truth be told, I doubt either of them are going to be around much longer. They looked like death today.

How does one un-banana a republic.

Well if there’s a way, God will show it to Donald.
