Obama’s speech accused President Trump of simply “messing things up”. Job losses, coronavirus related deaths, society’s divisions, and other negative things that we witnessed… Due to President Trump’s “dropping the ball”. Obama mentioned the presidency as one of the offices that is voted on by the people. Considering that Obama referenced the Constitution, he should’ve known that it is the states that vote for president via their electors.<\/p>\n
From CBS News:<\/span><\/p>\n I have sat in the Oval Office with both of the men who are running for president. I never expected that my successor would embrace my vision or continue my policies. I did hope, for the sake of our country, that Donald Trump might show some interest in taking the job seriously; that he might come to feel the weight of the office and discover some reverence for the democracy that had been placed in his care.<\/p>\n But he never did. For close to four years now, he has shown no interest in putting in the work; no interest in finding common ground; no interest in using the awesome power of his office to help anyone but himself and his friends; no interest in treating the presidency as anything but one more reality show that he can use to get the attention he craves.<\/p>\n Donald Trump hasn’t grown into the job because he can’t. And the consequences of that failure are severe. 170,000 Americans dead. Millions of jobs gone while those at the top take in more than ever. Our worst impulses unleashed, our proud reputation around the world badly diminished, and our democratic institutions threatened like never before.<\/p>\n Now, I know that in times as polarized as these, most of you have already made up your mind. But maybe you’re still not sure which candidate you’ll vote for — or whether you’ll vote at all. Maybe you’re tired of the direction we’re headed, but you can’t see a better path yet, or you just don’t know enough about the person who wants to lead us there.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n CBS News has the rest of the transcript, and the video, of Obama’s speech here<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
