When President Obama welcomed Trump to the White House, he said this to his successor: “Most of all, I want to emphasize to you, Mr. President-elect, that we now are going to want to do everything we can to help you succeed — because if you succeed, then the country succeeds.”
Republican Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell said this in an interview in 2010: “The single most important thing we want to achieve is for President Obama to be a one-term president.”
Well, big difference. Reminds me of the saying: “What you say about other people reveals more about you than what you say about yourself.”
I believe Obama was underrated as president and the next four years will be a walk in the desert – too much reality show around Trump for my taste.
Thanks for sharing your thoughts. You’re right, many people think it could be a bumpy ride.
It’s such a wise saying. No wonder it has persevered.
Agree.
