Barack Obama -- A World Class Leader of a World Class Democracy
Wednesday’s meeting (Nov. 09, 2016) of President Obama with President Elect Trump a the shinning example of a world-class democracy. It would have made our founders proud. Contrast this with the iron-fisted, bloody transitions in all-too-many countries around the world.
President Obama said, “My number-one priority in the coming two months is to try to facilitate a transition that ensures our President-elect is successful. Because if he is successful, then our country will be successful.” That’s putting the country first, above all other considerations.
Contrast that with the snarky remarks by Majority Senate Leader, Mitch McConnell, on President Obama’s entry into the White House eight years ago. He ungraciously said in a meeting with all Republican Senators that “…their top political priority is to deny President Obama a second term.”
That’s putting party before the country and its people. But fortunately for the country, that effort failed to stop Obama’s outstanding two-term Presidency.
