    He's 70 years old. This is him. He's not going to change after 70 years.

    Your logic is so bad. Who are you to define what a "presidential approach" entails? That's a subjective term. Was Obama presidential when he made fun of Special Olympians on Leno?

    Unfortunately, you are most likely right.

    I don't agree that someone 70 years is not capable of changing. Any person at any age willing to learn is capable of advancing and maturing.

    Sorry, but making fun of society's most vulnerable - the Special Olympians -- is as low as it gets. That's what Obama did on national tv.

    This is where it is from. Of course, Obama recognize that words from POTUS is very important and fully apologize for his remarks. You see, he learn from mistake and it's absolutely clear that he didn't meant harm.

    Trump, on the other hand, mock a disabled journalist (and many others) and what do we get? An apology? Of course not. Many of supporters, probably the same people that is so critical of Obama's remark doesn't care either. Hypocrites.

    Good post. As others have pointed out, who is supporting Lewis's statement? Certainly, I'm not. Trump didn't attack the message (which he could have, even though he's got better things to do). He attacked the messenger, and I defend Civil Rights hero Lewis, as an entity. But yeah, his message is off.

    More importantly, NO, it wouldn't also be important for me to criticize Lewis. I mean, he's one person in the House, and he's not even my representative. Who cares what he says. Trump is my president, and if he had just ignored Lewis's wrong-headed statement, I probably would never have heard about it.

    Our POTUS elect really needs to get a grip. Presidents get criticized more than anyone else. Definitely more than even reality TV stars. Or, alternately, we should just ignore his immature tantrums and the media should simply quit reporting his tweets. God knows, I'd be okay with that.

    Meanwhile, folks, don't let bigtexxx shift this to some former and now irrelevant president (one who had the capacity to apologize, but whatevs). texxx has had eight years and hundreds of poorly titled threads to do that. This thread is about our new incoming president. Thanks.

    The bitter left could eventually get their wish; A Pence presidency. Say goodbye to abortions and gay rights and a complete repeal of Obamacare with no replacement.

    Love or hate Trump, a Pence/Ryan/McConnell ultra-conservative threesome is more dangerous than even an inept Hillary Clinton or Trump.

    You are quoting infowars. I think that says everything.

    I quoted RocketsLegend. It was a tongue-in-cheek retort to the lefts obsession of undermining Trump.

    Sweet Lou, tell me. Would you like to see Trump impeached? A 'yes' or 'no' will be suffice.

    Spacey has yet to find anything Trump says or does that can't be blamed on liberals. Reminds me of way back, oh right just a few days ago, when Trumpanzee RealJihad was blaming the 13 Democrats that voted against Canadian drugs while the 39 Republicans also voted against it seemed to elude his reality.

    Oh yes, it's going to be a long four years. In fact so long that at some point Trump years will be known as the inverse of dog years. 7 years will be like 1 Trump year.

    RL was quoting infowars. The left isn't obsessed with undermining Trump, they are obsessed with making sure he is a good president and not a corrupt one beholden to a foreign gov't. If Obama has 1/10 of this stuff the Right would have gone nuts.

    What I would like to see is Trump's taxes, and I would like to know what exactly his affiliation with Russia really is. That's all I really want to know.

    So you admit that CNN is left. Thanks for clarifying.
