We will be watching both the former President and the media

In the past, Presidents leave Washington and Presidential politics to the new guy. They understood that there can be only one President and that it was time to back off and let the new guy do his thing. I'm sure it is hard to step away from the power and influence they once wielded. Some were more gracious than others but it is a standard of behavior we expect from our former Presidents. It is one we expect from Barak Obama as well. There are a lot of rumors swirling around about how Pres. Obama will conduct himself after Jan. 20, 2017. There is also concern about the media coverage he might enjoy if he does not honor the tradition of moving on. We will be watching both the former President and the media. George W. Bush did not interfere with Obama. We will demand the same level of courtesy for Pres. Trump.
