President Barack Obama told reporters on Wednesday that he plans to attend Donald Trump’s inauguration. But he didn’t comment on the mounting list of Democratic lawmakers who say they plan to skip the festivities.
“I’m not going to comment on those issues,” he told reporters at his final press conference as President. “All I know is I’m going to be there. So is Michelle. And I have been checking the weather and I’m heartened by the fact that it won’t be as cold as my first inauguration, because that was cold.”
More than sixty congressional Democrats have announced that they will not be attending Trump’s inauguration, many in response to the President-elect’s attacks on civil rights icon Rep. John Lewis (D-GA).
You’re a President with class, and you’re a President with class, and you’re a President with class, and you…you’re a President.
The most recent polling shows 60% approval for the way President Obama has handled his job with just 37% disapproving.
PeePee, on the other hand, is about to enter that same office with just 37% approving of him. That number has nowhere else to go but down…
Good to know that 37% of the people in this country are to be avoided at all cost.
The President is a bigger man than me. I wouldn’t go.
Neither would I and I really wish he wouldn’t. I’m guessing none of the Bushes will be there. Carter won’t. Just the Democratic presidents Peepee abused the most. They simply shouldn’t attend.
On Weekend Update (I think) they noted that most former presidents would not be there, because they’ll be busy spinning in their graves.
