Barack Obama on his book, President Trump, George Floyd, the divisions in the country, and more

The former president shares the advice he would give President Trump, his thoughts on the killing of George Floyd, and what's behind the divisions in Washington and across the U.S.

On election night, 2016, then-President Barack Obama called Donald Trump at about 3 a.m. to congratulate him, even though Mr. Trump had lost the popular vote and took the electoral college by less than 1% in three states. Today, President Trump declines to accept the verdict of the voters despite losing by greater margins to President-elect Joe Biden. Mr. Obama hasn't spoken of the election stand-off until today. We spoke to the 44th president on the release of his new book, "A Promised Land," a memoir of his early years and first term.

President Obama's thoughts after leaving the Trump inauguration
Scott Pelley: What is your advice in this moment for President Trump?

Barack Obama: Well, a president is a public servant. They are temporary occupants of the office, by design. And when your time is up then it is your job to put the country first and think beyond your own ego, and your own interests, and your own disappointments. My advice to President Trump is, if you want at this late stage in the game to be remembered as somebody who put country first, it's time for you to do the same thing.

Scott Pelley: In your view, it is time for him to concede?

Barack Obama: Absolutely. Well, I mean, I think it was time for him to concede probably-- the day after the election-- or at the latest, two days after the election. When you look at the numbers objectively, Joe Biden will have won handily. There is no scenario in which any of those states would turn the other way, and certainly not enough to reverse the outcome of the election.

Dea. Ron Gray Sr. Tuesday, November 17th 2020 at 10:17PM

Robert Powell check this report out, I think you are going to love it.



Steve Williams Tuesday, November 17th 2020 at 11:25PM

I heard no reason Trump should concede.

Dea. Ron Gray Sr. Wednesday, November 18th 2020 at 5:05PM

You did not hear that all Trump's campaign’s allegations of election irregularities So far, none has been proved and Giuliani's BULL 💩 made a fool of himself and got thrown out of court over the weekend, that means Steve, that the vote of the people will be heard.

Steve, why are YOU so against following the law of this land which give the people of The United States America the right to VOTE, a VOICE, that told Trump "YOU'RE FIRED." You heard that, didn't you?

That is the REASON Steve, now go tell Trump to Stop It and prepare for a peaceful transition, OK!

One way of the other Trump will have to leave the Orval Office January 20, 2021 because what you are witnessing is a failed attempt at suppressing the BLACK vote.

Steve Williams Wednesday, November 18th 2020 at 6:04PM

I don't mind if the transition happens at noon 1/20/21. That's plenty soon enough.

Dea. Ron Gray Sr. Wednesday, November 18th 2020 at 6:20PM

So, why are you defending Trump BS, Tell him to step down then or you are going to leave his campaign, OK!

Trump will accept the Vote of the Electors. Until 1/20/21 he is President and he doesn't owe you a thing after the hell you put him through. And I don't feel sorry for you, you brought it on yourself with your own ill will.

Dea. Ron Gray Sr. Thursday, November 19th 2020 at 11:00AM

Hey Steve, let’s get back to the subject.

On election night, 2016, then-President Barack Obama called Donald Trump at about 3 a.m. to congratulate him, even though Mr. Trump had lost the popular vote and took the electoral college by less than 1% in three states. Today, President Trump declines to accept the verdict of the voters despite losing by greater margins to President-elect Joe Biden. Mr. Obama hasn't spoken of the election stand-off until today. We spoke to the 44th president on the release of his new book, "A Promised Land," a memoir of his early years and first term.

Why won’t Trump give Biden the same courtesy to a President Elect?

He is acting like his feeling is hurt because of what the people of The United States did to him on Nov 3.





Steve Williams Thursday, November 19th 2020 at 12:47PM

There was massive fraud, which is being exposed by Rudy Giuliani at this very moment. Andrea Mitchell is not covering it. That's why Trump will NEVER concede.

Dea. Ron Gray Sr. Thursday, November 19th 2020 at 4:24PM

Then GO, start a blog Steve.

Read my answer:

"There was massive fraud, which is being exposed by Rudy Giuliani at this very moment. Andrea Mitchell is not covering it. That's why Trump will NEVER concede."

Dea. Ron Gray Sr. Thursday, November 19th 2020 at 8:47PM

"YOU" Can't answer that question, that clear as a bell question Steve?

OK! Answer the question of: Why won’t Trump give Biden the same courtesy to a President Elect, the same treatment he received as President Election?

Answer that question and then we can talking about Sweaty Rudy Giuliani as that LYING helper of Trump's, as Rudy suffers A massive hair malfunction in his latest bizarre press conference as LIERS under pressure shows the world that he is LYING..

is that agreeable Steve?

Steve Williams Thursday, November 19th 2020 at 9:19PM

Why didn't Andrea Mitchell cover it Ron? Rudy said there was a central conspiracy behind the manipulation of millions of votes, and he has proof. She must be afraid is the only reason I can think of.

Dea. Ron Gray Sr. Thursday, November 19th 2020 at 9:42PM

BYE Steve, it is a shame that you can't answer a simple question because you know your efforts of backing TRUMP, is the wrong way for The U.S. government to be headed.

Trump and Giuliani was trying to Suppress The Votes of Black Americans so a looser can win but that will not happen. Thank You Lord.

Since we can't come to an agreement, then you are telling that I 'am RIGHT and you have NO Defense for Trump failed attempts to over turn the election.

BOTTOM LINE.





Dea. Ron Gray Sr. Thursday, November 19th 2020 at 9:56PM

Have you watched this blogs video report of Barack Obama's?

Steve Williams Thursday, November 19th 2020 at 10:40PM

The first part, like you quoted. The fake look of concern on the interviewer's face turned me off. I'm watching Capehart's special at the moment.

Dea. Ron Gray Sr. Thursday, November 19th 2020 at 11:09PM

What did I quote Steve?

Steve Williams Thursday, November 19th 2020 at 11:57PM

Barack Obama: Absolutely. Well, I mean, I think it was time for him to concede probably-- the day after the election-- or at the latest, two days after the election. When you look at the numbers objectively, Joe Biden will have won handily. There is no scenario in which any of those states would turn the other way, and certainly not enough to reverse the outcome of the election.

I stopped watching after that

Dea. Ron Gray Sr. Friday, November 20th 2020 at 12:19AM

Steve, you never did see this video report, now did you? TELL The Truth.💩


Steve Williams Friday, November 20th 2020 at 4:15AM

It was unpalatable. I tried Ron but I just couldn't maintain any interest.

robert powell Friday, November 20th 2020 at 8:53AM


...Of this deaCON SUBJECT

To put the names of The Great President Baraka Hussein Obama in the same sentence as....

....trump$$ette, guliani, or biden is not only unpalatable it is......

Omniword, unstomachable, Brothey, Patriocity, tart law or from deaCON operations petrophysicist...

Dea. Ron Gray Sr. Friday, November 20th 2020 at 11:39AM

Then Steve, you are dismissed.

Dea. Ron Gray Sr. Friday, November 20th 2020 at 11:47AM

The truth is usually unpalatable when you are looking that the truth that proves you WRONG as hell for standing by those who are Suppressing American votes In order to steal, a presidential election.

Steve Williams Friday, November 20th 2020 at 11:59AM

I told you, I didn't like the way the CBS interviewer looked. The Capehart interview was better. the freshman reminded me of my own son.

Dea. Ron Gray Sr. Friday, November 20th 2020 at 1:34PM

The interviewer what not the story here Steve. So, you don’t know the what the subject of this blog is, do you?

Steve Williams Friday, November 20th 2020 at 4:07PM

Pfffft... Duh, The Promised Land is not worth consodideration, it's only an expression of a big ego. But My Brother's Keeper is a whole different matter.

Dea. Ron Gray Sr. Friday, November 20th 2020 at 6:02PM

In other words, NO, you don't.

Brothers and Sisters meet Steve Williams...

Steve Williams Friday, November 20th 2020 at 6:38PM

I saw the soundbites, just like everyone did Ron. Everyone in the media are after the filthy lucre of their book deals. I don't read any of them. Give me a real history book, not a long-winded, poorly worded display of vanity.

Steve Williams Friday, November 20th 2020 at 6:39PM

Children are not the future.

Dea. Ron Gray Sr. Friday, November 20th 2020 at 7:53PM

You saw the soundbites Steve!!!! I 'am talking about this material at the top of this blog. Dismiss from me and don't go back until you have reviewed that material, Thank You.
