CNN's Camerota: 'Why Does President Obama Have to Be Gracious' to Trump?
2016-11-11
CNN continues to lead the way...
[NEWSBUSTERS.ORG] On Thursday's New Day, during a panel discussion of the scheduled meeting at the White House between President Barack Obama
That’s just how white folks will do you....
and President-elect Donald Trump
...New York real estate developer, described by Dems as illiterate, racist, misogynistic, and what ever other unpleasant descriptions they can think of, elected by the rest of us as 45th President of the United States...
, and whether the two would be cordial despite their differences, co-host Alisyn Camerota at one point wondered why it is that President B.O. "has to be gracious" to Trump instead of just sending an intern to meet him.

Camerota: "Why does President B.O. have to be gracious? Why can't, I mean, I'm curious about the optics of this. Are he and First Lady Michelle going to the front door and going to glue smiles on their face and graciously open their arms and their home to Donald Trump, the man who questioned President B.O.'s birth, his citizenship, his family, his credentials, his legitimacy? Or can they just send an intern to the front door to let him in?"
Because it's what you do in a legitimate political system.

#8  I wonder if Trump is going to surround himself with a staff of 'gingers'.

#7  The birther thing began when one of Obama's autobiographies had a blurb cover which said he was born in Kenya. Whoever wrote that was not Trump.

#6  Met her once. She'd appeared to have applied her make up with a trowel.

Did we get any answers? Didn't people get tutted at for even looking?

Hey, it was Hillary who sent Blementhal to investigate all of this--she started the "birther" movement.

#3  Cause you can't pardon yourself?

Once out, the immunity of office protection evaporates and opens the person for prosecutions of high crimes and misdemeanors for the period of time of service.

#1  No, it is what you do when you know your successor is going to rip up all your sh1t. Then when that happens, you can say, "Wow, what a d1ck. And we were so nice to him."
