I've got to hand it to Barry, he's really being cordial

He is always that way face to face. He won't talk shite to someones face.

Same here. I may disagree with his political ideology and positions, but I've never thought he was purposefully malicious or an a-hole.

@Hillary Clinton

I'm here today to honor our democracy & its enduring values. I will never stop believing in our country & its future. #Inauguration

I'm shocked Hillary said this, but hopefully this will make some of the left realize the world hasn't ended quite yet.

Ya, it says something that she's there, while other Democrats are sitting out.

If anyone had a reason not to be there, it's her.

He's done some dumb shite politically during the transition but he's personally been solid.

We can hope, but it isn't likely unfortunately

He's always carried himself with dignity and class. The night before his 2009 inauguration, he hosted a dinner in honor of John McCain.

Today's behavior from him should not be a surprise to anyone that's paid attention to his tenure.

one of the greatest campaigners in history. he was a machine on the election trail.

I'd smoke a joint with him.....then ask why he didn't use his 8 years to change policy

I've said all along that although I hate his positions,I thought he'd be a blast to have a beer with.

IMO this statement sums up his high approval numbers, Trump's relatively low approval numbers, yet this high numbers relating to peoples' feelings of optimism.

The polls are showing how people feel about the man, their emotions, whether or not they like him. People like Obama personally, it's hard not to, but hate his positions. People (wrongly) dislike Trump personally, but believe he will turn things around, hence the high optimism numbers.
