    There's no way the both of them aren't all over the media during the Trump presidency with those two huge egos are you kidding? You know they're ramping up Michelle to be the next first female president don't you? I have a certain flair for spotting things like that.








    Edit: Corrected split infinitive in line 2

    WTF, are those photographers using 20 year old film cameras? I mean the background noises they are making is absurd.

    Yes, I believe that is the rational taken from Hilary Clinton losing. It leaves the "First Woman President" title open for Michelle Obama. I mean, the only people who would vote against her OBVIOUSLY would be mysogonistic racists, no?

    Melania Trump seemed to say she'd vote for Michelle Obama.

    I have to admit that is hilarious about the birth certificate.

    Were I Obama I might have done the same thing before becoming saying congratulatory and trying to help make a easy transition.

    It is only tradition that the outgoing president briefs and helps the new one in but so far think Obama is doing so. I will also say that in the last two days Obama has acted classy and I have not liked him at all as POTUS. I despise his politics and views but my respect for him has gone up some.

    Isn't it a shame that it takes until after the result of the election for Trump to grow up and start behaving like an adult?

    LOL, you must be clairvoyant. Please use your power, who will win the Super Bowl and Stanley Cup. There is no way Michelle Obama runs (just read her thoughts on this and why) and there is no way the Obamas act like jackasses after they leave office. They are far to intelligent, far to classy and far to professional. You are welcome to your delusion though.......

    P.S. Please let me know on the Super Bowl & Stanley Cup, I need to get a couple of bets down, thanks....

    He does look presidential, he also looks a little lost. Trump has many bad qualities, but I do think he is a very smart man. Hopefully he will rise to the challenge.

    They have to turn in their choices in a sealed envelope to the U.S. capital by December 28. Then, on January 6 (unless the date is changed by Congress) the electoral votes are officially counted, so, no, he has not yet been elected by the Electoral college, so technically presumptive President-elect is the correct title.

    Yup, he's the presumptive President-elect until January 6, when the electoral votes are counted at a joint session of Congress.

    Only a fool wouldn't be intimidated by the weight that is being placed on his shoulders.

    Obama aged 30 years in 8 years after all.

    Oh puhleeze, Obama is objectively the least qualified AA case of a President to ever sit in the Oval Office. He could not and never will attain ANY INKLING of success in the private sector other than trying to peddle influence for access or collect "speaking fees" and "book payments" for influence he's already sold.

    Both men will, and are, and even Cankles ended her concession speech with healing words.

    The Cankles supporters, on the other hand, are out of control.

    Oh aye, and massively more qualified than Barack Obama was when HE was President-Elect. Did anyone notice that Barack could barely make himself say the actual words, "President-elect Trump"?

    - - - Updated - - -

    Yeah, because leftists were just FILLED with respect for G.W. Bush when Barack Obama was president-elect . . . oh wait . . . no, they weren't.

    High end digital cameras still will have you look through the lens (SLR) and then flip up a mirror to the sensor.

    Give Europe to the Russians, Asia to the Chinese, and we'll take the Western Hemisphere. No more problems.

    A Dem woman could easily win in 2024 but not before then. The Repubs will be in the White House for the next 8 years.

    The funny thing is that the talking heads asked Trump if he would accept it if he lost but they never bothered to ask the lunatic Dems if they would accept it if they lost. They lost and now they are going ___ ____ crazy.

    Trump himself will do alright. It's the parasites that are now latching onto him who will be the problem children.

    Well the campaign is over and trump will do what he does best. Run the country using common sense, and make America great again for people other than the elites.

    He is the right man for the times we are in. We need someone who knows how to solve problems, instead of creating more problems. All he has to do is to do opposite of what has failed. Be hard to go wrong if he simply does that. Not being owned by other elites, he is not handcuffed, which again, is what we need at this time in our history.

    No secret. He was plain spoken about how he wants to use Obama as counsel. Any good businessman tries not to recreate the wheel whenever he can. Obama has insight into relationships abroad, as well as at home. That can be valuable. Mostly, I see Obama chiming in on the working parts of the machine. To be clear, I'm glad that in 2 months he'll no longer be driving.

    Yup, I'm serious. We won't hear a thing from Obama. You see, he is quite intelligent and he knows exactly what the people now in charge will do.......and he knows he has to stay out of it. What happens during Trump's and the new Congress' term is between them and the American people. I'd be willing to bet the press will be all over him for comments and the best they'll get is a 'no comment'.

    Don't you guys know any history at all? Anything at all about regime change at the White House? If you did this subject wouldn't even come up..........
