Obama on Trump Following ‘Tradition’ of Peaceful Transition: Hope Springs Eternal

‘There’s a promised land out there somewhere’

RUSH EXCERPT:

OBAMA: “Look, there are a set of traditions that we have followed in the peaceful transfer of power. The outgoing president congratulates the incoming president, instructs the government and the agencies to cooperate with the new government coming in. You invite the President-Elect to the Oval Office and then on inauguration day, the president invites the President-Elect to the White House and there’s a small reception. And then you drive to the inauguration site, and the outgoing president sits there and is part of the audience as the new president is sworn in. And at that point, the outgoing president is a citizen like everybody else— and owes the new president the chance to do their best— on behalf of the American people. Whether Donald Trump will do the same thing we’ll have to see. So far, that’s not been his approach. But you know hope springs eternal. There’s a promised land out there somewhere.”
