TRUMP was very gracious after the meeting.

Lame Duck President Barack Hussein Obama denied that tradition.  

President Obama is devastated, crushed, broken hearted, butthurt!  His beloved legacy was crushed.  He told voters that they were voting on his legacy, and he was crushed.

Republicans have the Oval Office, the House, the Senate, they gained governors and gained in state legislatures.  Democrats were not beaten, they were demolished.

Steve Bannon, whom Trump is considering for White House Chief of Staff has a clear history of pushing hatred for Jews, Muslims, Latinos and Black Americans.  Oops .. I forgot, he also hates gays.  

It kind of foretells what kind of country we're going to be under President Pussy Grabber ....

Fasten your seat belt.  It's going to be a bumpy ride!

TEL AVIV – Donald Trump on Wednesday invited Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to visit the White House at the “first opportunity,” according to the Prime Minister’s Office.

The prime minister and president-elect “who have known each other for many years, had a warm, heartfelt conversation” over the phone, the statement said.

“President-elect Trump invited Prime Minister Netanyahu to a meeting in the United States at the first opportunity,” it said.

As a self-avowed Anti-Semite, I'm sure this annoys you no end.  Looks like he's working rebuilding our relations with our friends abroad already!

I wouldn't want to seen, much less photographed, with an inflamed hemorrhoid like Trump.

President-elect Donald Trump on Thursday refused to let a group of journalists travel with him to cover his historic first meeting with President Barack Obama, breaking a long-standing practice intended to ensure the public has a watchful eye on the nation's leader.

Trump flew from New York to Washington on his private jet without that "pool" of reporters, photographers and television cameras that have traveled with presidents and presidents-elect.

Trump's flouting of press access was one of his first public decisions since his election Tuesday.

Trump's meeting with Obama on Thursday will be recorded by the pool of White House reporters, photographers and TV cameras who cover the president.

News organizations had for weeks tried to coordinate a pool of journalists who could begin to travel with Trump immediately after Election Day if he won election. But his campaign did not cooperate with those requests and his senior advisers refused Wednesday, the day after the election, to discuss any such press arrangements.

Trump also broke from tradition as a candidate, refusing to allow a pool of campaign reporters, photographers or cameras to fly on his plane as he traveled to events.

Every president in recent memory has traveled with a pool of journalists when they leave the White House grounds. A pool of reporters and photographers were in the motorcade when President John F. Kennedy was shot and killed in Dallas.

The pool was just steps away from President Ronald Reagan when he was shot outside a hotel in the District of Columbia, and was stationed outside his hospital room as he recovered. The pool also travels on vacation and foreign trips and at times captures personal, historic moments of the presidency.

News organizations take turns serving in the small group, paying their way and sharing the material collected in the pool with the larger press corps. The pool also covers official events at the White House when space doesn't allow for the full press corps.

Trump has been notoriously, historically opaque through the campaign.

Apparently, he's going to carry that practice into the White House.

That is bullshit.

Obama attempted to be bipartisan and reach across the aisle to an excruciating degree.

He appointed three Republicans to his Cabinet (an unprecedented move), put tons of tax cuts and defense appropriations into the stimulus bill, elevated retired military brass to top government positions, extended the Bush tax cuts, abandoned the public option and embraced the Republican template for healthcare reform, and on and on and on ...

And, leading up to the election he certainly did not comport himself with the same boorishness nor did he display the profound ignorance and indifference to matters of policy nor the intemperance of the President elect.

It's an absurd and completely false equivalency.

But, we've come to expect that from you.
