Wasn't even aware he was coming to town given we were so busy w/recovery work. But I did hear from a few folks who saw him. He would stop and talk to random folks. Impression is he is genuinely concerned (not photo-op concerned) and was pretty warm with everyone he met. Only way I knew he was here was we were near EFD as Air Force One was leaving.

Letter left by BHO for Trump:
quote:
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.
Luckily, I have enough willpower to control the driving ambition that rages within me.
When you had the votes, we did things your way. Now, we have the votes and you will be doing things our way. This lesson in political reality from Lyndon B. Johnson
"Some things are apparent. Where government moves in, community retreats, civil society disintegrates and our ability to control our own destiny atrophies. The result is: families under siege; war in the streets; unapologetic expropriation of property; the precipitous decline of the rule of law; the rapid rise of corruption; the loss of civility and the triumph of deceit. The result is a debased, debauched culture which finds moral depravity entertaining and virtue contemptible." - Justice Janice Rogers Brown

The irony of paragraph 5 being written by President Obama notwithstanding, I think that was a very well written letter on his part. Well said, dare I say, even humble?

President Donald Trump Sets Internet on Fire, Retweets Hilarious Slam on Hillary Clinton’s New Book
On Saturday evening, President Donald Trump set the Internet ablaze by endorsing a hilarious tweet trolling Hillary Clinton and the title of her new book, What Happened. After spending most of the day helping survivors of Hurricane Harvey on September 2, Trump took a few minutes off Saturday night to fire up Twitter, as he so often does.
The president retweeted a message from a Trump fan account called Team_Trump45. It was a meme image featuring the cover of Clinton’s campaign autopsy book, What Happened. Next to the image of Clinton’s book cover was a similar but fake book cover with a large photo of a smiling Donald Trump under the words, “I Happened.”
I sure hope you didn't listen to those fucktards for 94 minutes.

One reason why we hired him.
To go after it, tell the truth, no bullshit.
So far, it is working reasonably well.

Attorney General Jeff Sessions will brief reporters 11 a.m. on Tuesday about the administration’s decision to end the quasi-amnesty for young illegals imposed by former President Barack Obama in 2012.
By allowing Sessions to announce the decision instead of President Donald Trump, the administration is portraying the decision as a legal matter, not a political issue.
The so-called “DACA” amnesty is being closed down because it is legally indefensible, and because Trump campaigned on the promise to close down the amnesty.
Since 2012, Obama’s amnesty has provided work permits and legal documents to 800,000 younger illegals aged 15 to 36, allowing them to compete for jobs against Americans. The 800,000 illegals are part of a larger population of roughly 11 million illegal immigrants, of whom about 8 million hold jobs.
added: AG Sessions announced DACA is "unconstituional" and "is being rescinded ."
President Donald Trump is now calling on Congress to find a legislative solution to protect the immigrants
President Obama's "unconstitutional" executive action cannot stand, the AG explained. In enacting DACA, Obama "deliberately sought to achieve" what Congress repeatedly rejected.
The 44th president engaged in an "open ended circumvention of immigration laws," Sessions said.
The result was dire "humanitarian consequences," and the loss of hundreds of thousands of jobs that should have rightly belonged to Americans.
All immigration policies should serve the people of the United States, he continued. It is his duty as attorney general to enforce the rule of law.
“We cannot admit everyone who would like to come here,” Sessions explained.
