President Obama's good character was on display when he called Donald Trump to congratulate him on his victory and then invited him to the White House to discuss a smooth transition of power. The President was very gracious to the man who told the American people the President was not born in America.
The President will be leaving office in two months and will be leaving with his head held high and many accomplishments. Because of his policies he will also be leaving a country that is much better off than it was when he became President 8 years ago in 2009. Our country and its people have also been safe from foreign terror attacks.
On the other hand, President elect, Donald Trump will be taking office after running the most divisive and negative campaign in history. His hate for the American system came from his own mouth and he ended his campaign by insisting the very voting system that elected him was rigged against him. And in between, he exhibited a moral attitude out side the norm of main street America and said Russian President Putin was a better leader than President Obama.
President Obama has demonstrated his leadership and character as President for 8 years. President elect Donald Trump has not been able to do that even in a campaign. And that really says it all.
