I feel for Obama

[SHRED]

Obama Reportedly Has to Hold Trump's Hand Because He's Clueless About His New Job
Not the best news, considering a Nazi sympathizer is his go-to adviser.

And here's the thanks he'll get...not only will his legacy be dismantled they will treat him like they did the Clintons when he's done. They will claim he vandalized the Whitehouse or worse.



Obama's a bigger person than me. I'd tell tRump that he gets the same level of respect that he has given.

1. I feel for him having to go to Europe

and trying to explain what the hell happened. I bet he can't wait to vacate and move on.

4. Oh, things are amiss in Europe, too.

When the 100-year anniversary of WWI came around, it occurred to me that that is the war we are really still fighting. My opinion hasn't changed in the last two years.

5. That's not the point.

I'm talking about President Obama having to explain trump; that has got to hurt.

7. Well, they have to explain Brexit and a few other things themselves.

Unfortunately, part of the vein Donald tapped into is running in parts of Europe too. And the Philippines. And probably a few other places. Or most of the world.

I didn't miss the point - I think a lot of countries are facing the exact same situation. And I think the roots of it are deep.

10. Yep.

9. Europe is seeing a lot of rising of far right nationalists

Europe already knows how because the same is happening there. The rhetoric is probably worse over there with the refugee crisis.

2. That just proved what a horrible candidate Trump was.

But it's in President Obama's nature to take the high road and do the hand holding (ick, the mere thought of Trump's tiny hands and where they've been).

3. That was one of my concerns

Obama has had so many unfair problems.

Now he had to deal with this.

I hope it wasn't a complete shock.
I hope there were no tears in the WH

I hope his girls know someday there will be a female president.

I do not worry about his legacy.

He will shine in history as truly great.

6. Me, too. I cannot believe how difficult it must be for both POTUS and FLOTUS

to see the character of the people who will succeed them.

8. Those Obamas, always going high when they go low..n/t
