Hey, Boo Boo, we're in history now!

Upon leaving office, former President Barack Obama left his successor President Donald Trump a letter that he left on the Resolute Desk in the Oval Office.
Trump vowed to cherish what he called the “beautiful letter” during a swearing-in ceremony for several top administration appointees in January.
“It was really very nice of him to do that,” he said, adding that “we won’t even tell the press what’s in that letter.”
CNN on Sunday obtained and posted the contents of the letter, which was signed “BO.” Read it below:
“ Congratulations on a remarkable run. Millions have placed their hopes in you, and all of us, regardless of party, should hope for expanded prosperity and security during your tenure.
This is a unique office, without a clear blueprint for success, so I don’t know that any advice from me will be particularly helpful. Still, let me offer a few reflections from the past 8 years.
First, we’ve both been blessed, in different ways, with great good fortune. Not everyone is so lucky. It’s up to us to do everything we can (to) build more ladders of success for every child and family that’s willing to work hard.
Second, American leadership in this world really is indispensable. It’s up to us, through action and example, to sustain the international order that’s expanded steadily since the end of the Cold War, and upon which our own wealth and safety depend.
Third, we are just temporary occupants of this office. That makes us guardians of those democratic institutions and traditions ― like rule of law, separation of powers, equal protection and civil liberties ― that our forebears fought and bled for. Regardless of the push and pull of daily politics, it’s up to us to leave those instruments of our democracy at least as strong as we found them.
And finally, take time, in the rush of events and responsibilities, for friends and family. They’ll get you through the inevitable rough patches.
Michelle and I wish you and Melania the very best as you embark on this great adventure, and know that we stand ready to help in any ways which we can.
Good luck and Godspeed,
BO "
Along with the crayon he wrote it with.
Didn’t read it. No need to.
Odds are Baraq didn’t write it. And it’s certain he didn’t have any sincerity in his heart when signing it.
But most of all, I simply don’t give a rat’s patootie about anything that guy has to say, and he can’t disappear completely from the face of the earth soon enough.
Just goes to show: It is easier to give advice than to follow it.
You don’t think this was lovely?
“............., so I don’t know that any advice from me will be particularly helpful.”
I thought it was sweet.
Fake letter.
lol ‘rule of law’
If I had a letter from B-HO I’d use it to pick up dog crap.
Burn the trash
Who could have leaked it other than DJT ?
Team Hussein, of course.
So how exactly does the private letter frown outgoing POTUS to the incoming POTUS end up on CNN? This has never happened, it is another tradition that has been eroded. My money is on one of Obongo’s people to make him look good
Must of been taken out of the garbage bin.
This is exactly the kind of crap the Liar Obama always does.
He sounds so reasonable but it’s just an act. His actions are 180 degrees opposite.
Hey, Boo Boo, we're in history now!
Yea, sure you are.
And Obama has been doing everything to hurt and undermine Trump, ever since.
Let's also assume from the excerpt that it was written well before the election and mentions neither HRC nor Trump by name.
