I know many of us didn’t agree with all of their policies, but one thing I can say is that they understood the responsibility that came with the office. They treated people like human beings, communicated with a level of respect, and didn’t feel the need to constantly demean others to make themselves look better.
They also understood how to speak to the public. Whether you agreed with them or not, they could give a speech, stay on topic, articulate their message clearly, and conduct themselves in a manner that reflected the seriousness of the presidency.
Leadership isn’t about insults, personal attacks, or turning every disagreement into a spectacle. It’s about respect, discipline, and the ability to communicate effectively with the people you’re supposed to serve.
You don’t have to agree with someone’s politics to recognize the difference between leadership and chaos.
President Obama has a unique way of ROASTING Donald Trump without mentioning him by name, and it drives Trump nuts.
He just did it again, this time in front of every living president.
Watch this. 🔥

.@Janeese4DC just had her first press conference as the presumptive Democratic nominee for D.C. mayor, and here's a 🧵 with some highlights.
First: She's not resigning her Ward 4 seat until she's sworn in as mayor. That means a special election is likely next May or June.
The Obama Presidential Center is finally opening!
Tune in today on https://t.co/GYkEOK8EuT starting at 11am CT as Michelle and I share what this moment means to us and celebrate with friends, family, and members of the community in Chicago.
Now, when this democratic socialist Janeese Lewis tries to do things in DC like democratic socialist Mayor Mamdani is doing in new York and is blocked by Congress and the president, you’ll see why Washington, DC needs statehood.
After all the punditry claiming Janeese Lewis George was the candidate of the the affluent, she is leading in every DC ward *except* for the most affluent one
I’m struggling to see the controversy here. I’d get it if Lewis George bought a single-family home and then opposed upzoning her own neighborhood to allow for more housing, but her platform specifically supports upzoning, including where she now lives.
