 Obama's advice to Trump (CNN) As President Barack Obama prepares to turn the White House over to President-elect Donald Trump, he's offering some advice to his successor. "One thing I've said to him directly, and I would advise my Republican friends in Congress and supporters around the country, is just make sure that as we go forward certain norms, certain institutional traditions, don't get eroded, because there's a reason they're in place," Obama told CBS News' Steve Kroft in a taped interview for "60 Minutes." In a transition period that found the President-elect often commenting on presidential matters, Obama admitted it's been an "unusual" time. "I suspect the President-elect would agree with that," Obama said. "Look, he's an unconventional candidate." Obama noted that Trump "ran sort of an improvisational campaign" but cautioned him against running an "improvisational presidency," saying it will be a test to see if Trump can build an organization and execute the vision he laid out during the campaign. "I think everybody has to acknowledge, don't underestimate the guy, because he, he's going to be 45th president of the United States in about in about two weeks," Obama said of his successor. The outgoing President said partisanship that became even more evident during the 2016 campaign was something that surprised him during his time in office. "I will confess that -- I didn't fully appreciate the ways in which individual senators or members of Congress now are pushed to the extremes by their voter bases," Obama said. "I did not expect, particularly in the midst of crisis, just how severe that partisanship would be." One thing Obama said he will miss about the job is living in the White House and working with his staff. But, he said living within the hallowed halls is not exactly like people typically imagine. "You know, it's not free," Obama said of the presidential lifestyle. "I've got a grocery bill at the end of every month. Our toothpaste, our orange juice, that all gets paid. But it is true that I don't carry my wallet that often. So I'm going to have some catching up to do in terms of how day-to-day things operate." Obama told Kroft that he is looking forward to his next life phase and the tasks he aims to accomplish, such as writing a book and working on a foundation. The Obama family will stay in Washington and aren't moving far from 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue, to a rental home in the Kalorama neighborhood. They plan on staying at least until their youngest daughter, Sasha, graduates from high school. But first, before settling into his new lifestyle, Obama says he's going on a vacation. "I'm not setting my alarm," he said. "I'm going to spend time with Michelle. And -- you know, we got some catching up to do. We've both been busy."

Destroying Libya and turning it into a violent failed state with slave markets that acts a conduit for migrates drowning in the Mediterranean and revitalizing fascism in Europe is probably my favorite. Also pumping shitloads of cash and weapons into Syria to a bunch of genocidal extremists so hosed up that some of them even gave AQ pause in an attempt to remove a regime for geopolitical reasons thats killed 600,000+ and displaced another 10 million was pretty cool. This was all fine because Obama was handsome minority with a million dollar smile with a D next to his name. gently caress you Obama.

Departing Obama Tearfully Shoos Away Loyal Drone Following Him Out Of White House ‘Go On Now, Git,’ Says Former President WASHINGTON—Stopping and turning around as he made his way across the South Lawn after hearing the unmanned aerial vehicle hovering just feet behind him, outgoing President Barack Obama tearfully shooed away a loyal MQ-9 Reaper drone attempting to follow him out of the White House, sources confirmed Friday. “Go on now—get out of here!” said the former commander-in-chief, his lower lip trembling and his eyes welling with tears as he affected a stern tone of voice in an attempt to scare off the faithful hunter-killer drone that had spent the past eight years obediently at his side. “You can’t come with me anymore, you got that? Can’t you see this is for your own good? Now scram. What are you waiting for? Go!” At press time, a heartbroken Obama had thrown a rock in the drone’s direction, causing the unmanned aerial vehicle to flee into the sky, where it paused to look back one last time at its old master before flying off toward a Yemeni tribal wedding.

https://www.politico.com/agenda/story/2015/10/obama-vs-teachers-unions-its-stilll-on-000264/quote:With the possible exception of trade, education is the issue where Obama has veered farthest from his liberal base. It’s historically a local issue, but Obama and Duncan, his pickup basketball pal from Chicago, have reshaped the national landscape, using carrots (like the Race to the Top competition for stimulus dollars) and sticks (like the threat of sanctions under the No Child Left Behind Law) to nudge states into adopting reforms that unions hate.

for those of you who are young/forgot/didn't pay attention to the 08 election: one of the few substantive differences in the primary was that all the teachers unions endorsed Hillary because Obama was in the waiting for superman ~school reform~ camp that has turned out to be a huge pile of astroturfed anti-union bullshit whose purpose was always to turn a government service over to the whims of tech billionaires
