President Obama Note To Trump
During his final moments in the Oval Office, President Barack Obama folded into thirds a handwritten letter to Donald Trump, slid it into an envelope, and in neat capital letters addressed it to “Mr. President.”
Now, the contents of that letter — the last direct communication between the 44th and 45th president’s as was given to President Obama by then President Bush. A respect to the office of the President of The United States to his successor. But as the past several months of this administration has purported that respect for the office is being dragged into the mud. Where will our country be after this administration?? Only God Knows!!! Below is the handwritten communica’ to President Trump:
Dear Mr. President –
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
Now why you ask did I feel this letter is so important?? First, our President Obama respected the office he held for 8 years even after the treatment given to him still showed the cavalier respect given the highest office of the world. Second, tradition lead him to finish the job in the utmost honor and deference. Something that this buffoon will never obtain. Third, this shows the honest and brave admiration that is and was our most successful presidency this country will ever see. Fourth, your integrity is something that cannot be bought or sold, when lost you become less the man or woman.
