Obama ditching promise of “smooth” transition to Trump
By - The Washington Times - Sunday, December 18, 2016
President Obama is dishing out a much rockier transfer of power to Donald Trump than he received from his predecessor eight years ago, from accusing the president-elect of being aided by Russian hackers, to first lady Michelle Obama complaining that the nation has lost hope.
Despite pledging a “smooth and efficient” transition on the day after Mr. Trump’s victory, Mr. Obama has presided over an increasingly acrimonious war of words between the White House and the president-elect’s team.
The awkward hand-off of the baton stands in stark contrast to the cooperative atmosphere fostered by Republican George W. Bush’s White House in 2008 when Mr. Obama was preparing to take office, an example of unity that Obama advisers still talk about.
The Obama administration’s bitterness and disappointment over Hillary Clinton’s loss erupted into the open last week as the president’s spokesman, Josh Earnest, accused Mr. Trump for four consecutive days of encouraging Russia’s alleged meddling in the election and ignoring the ramifications.
