Can anyone imagine what kind of letter Trump will leave for his predecessor if he should last a full term? It will sound like it was composed by a middle schooler with lots of hyperbole, exclamation points and misspellings.
Well, you've never doubted anything Obama has ever done. So no surprise there.

From Obama, "I got a phone and a pen" Obama?

Why do you think we have the mess with DACA right now?

A Frazzled Congress May Not Be Able To Clean Up Trump

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

Read the Inauguration Day letter Obama left for Trump
How DARE he? That is the most divisive rhetoric I have ever heard. Clearly written by a Kenyan communist hell-bent on destroying our way of life!

Only because congress won't do their job ... "The veto can be overridden only by a two-thirds vote in both the Senate and the House."

Don't people know that every time when they point the finger at POTUS, congress goes, 'oh thank god' .

btw: what are we paying these yahoos for any way ... ? just thought i'd ask, cause you know we do send their kids to college and not just any college either ...

I think congress has a lower rating than any president has had.

Calling them pencil pushers is a bit much, imo.

You think Trump doesn't?! Trump is by far the most hateful president America has ever seen.
