Best of Bok 2016 has been posted. It turns out Bok is such a great cartoonist that 40 cartoons qualified.

President Obama promised Donald Trump a peaceful transition to the White House. He said so the day after Trump�s victory. Since then he�s issued 145 �midnight regulations.�

The transition hasn�t been all that peaceful according to Piers Morgan. Instead Obama pitched a presidential �temper tantrum�. Morgan says, Barack �hates Donald and everything he stands for.�:

quote:
Since the election, as the New York Times reported, he�s banned oil drilling off the Atlantic coast, named over 100 people to a range of senior government jobs, created new environmental monuments, commuted the sentences of 232 inmates and pardoned 78 others, protected funding for Planned Parenthood clinics, ordered the transfer of detainees from Guantanamo Bay and blocked new Israeli settlements.

When President Obama met with party leaders in 2009 Eric Cantor pitched some ideas for the stimulus bill. The president responded, �Elections have consequences and, at the end of the day, I won.� The 800 billion dollar stimulus went on to pass with three Republican votes. And ObamaCare rammed its way through Congress without any Republican support. At the time Democrats controlled the White House, Senate, and House.

Now that the worm has turned Republicans are committed to eviscerating ObamaCare. But they�re divided over how to do the deed.

The program has never been popular with voters. A new Rasmussen survey finds that only 12% of voters want to keep it as it is. However 56% want the law improved piece by piece. Only 30% want to see the program immediately brought to room temperature.

At a press conference today Donald Trump said that he thinks Russia probably did hack the DNC. He added that lots of countries hack. And he claimed the DNC was careless with its servers. Not to mention Hillary Clinton and John Podesta, windows logon: p@ssw0rd.

Yesterday Buzz Feed and CNN ran with an unverified story of a Trump honey trap in Moscow. The story claims Putin blackmailed Trump into reporting on Russian Oligarchs with whom he had dealings. Trump and Mike Pence both condemned the story as fake news at the press conference.

In Denver 2008 President Obama entered national life as a messiah. He eschewed the manger for a stage set with faux Greek columns in front of 84,000 believers. Tuesday he ascended into heaven from Chicago with a farewell speech before 25,000 disciples.

Here�s what some of the true believers had to say:

Charles M. Blow of the NYT found respite from �the dark clouds of the incoming administration� in a column titled Ode to Obama :

quote:
But there was a calm in the midst of the storm, a rock of familiarity and stability and strength: On Tuesday night, President Obama delivered his farewell address in his adopted hometown, Chicago, as a forlorn crowd looked on, realizing the magnitude of the moment, realizing the profundity of its loss.

As the old saying goes: You don�t know what you�ve got till it�s gone.

The Washington Post�s E. J. Dionne called it �a moving farewell compared to Trumps terrifying hello�:

quote:
So although it was not his intention, Trump brought home the importance of the central forward-looking theme of President Obama�s moving farewell address in Chicago on Tuesday night. At heart, Obama�s speech was a warning and a plea: an alert about the dangers our democracy confronts and a call for Americans to be active and vigilant in protecting our liberties.

�Our Constitution is a remarkable, beautiful gift,� Obama declared in what may prove to be its most important passage. �But it�s really just a piece of parchment. It has no power on its own. We, the people, give it power. We, the people, give it meaning � with our participation, and with the choices that we make and the alliances that we forge.

�Whether or not we stand up for our freedoms, whether or not we respect and enforce the rule of law, that�s up to us,� he continued. �America is no fragile thing. But the gains of our long journey to freedom are not assured.�

And now for the apostates:

Jonah Goldberg:

quote:
The whole speech seemed written to be the final chapter of the �Collected Speeches of Barack Obama,� which is why he concluded by referencing his 2008 �Yes We Can� speech.

No wonder the substance of Obama�s farewell was a high-flown rehash of his greatest hits. He spoke again of Congress being �dysfunctional� in the abstract, but what he surely meant is that Congress isn�t working properly when it declines to do what he wants it to do. Hence the insinuation that disagreement with his views on climate change is contrary to the �spirit� of America and the Enlightenment. He called for a �new social compact� that was indistinguishable from his legislative agenda and insisted that the essence of democracy is the commitment �that we rise or fall as one.�

That is not the spirit of democracy at all; it�s the spirit of the �tribalism� and �nationalism� he�s come to disparage. But that has always been the spirit of Obamaism. When people agree with him, that�s democracy working. When democracy rejects his counsel, that�s the bitter Bible-clingers rejecting the better angel of his nature.

Charles Krauthammer:

quote:
And yet it turns out that such auspicious beginnings are not at all predictive. We could see it this same week. On Tuesday night, there stood Obama giving a farewell address that only underscored the failure of a presidency so bathed in optimism at its start. The final speech, amazingly, could have been given, nearly unedited, in 2008. Why it even ended with �yes we can.�

The WSJ just wonders how we can miss a president who won�t go away.

quote:
�My fellow Americans,� he said as he finally wrapped up his lengthy self-eulogy, �it has been the honor of my life to serve you. I won�t stop. In fact, I will be right there with you, as a citizen, for all my remaining days.�

George Bush I couldn�t use a bar code scanner at the grocery store, much less take a White House selfie or tweet about it. Of course, that story may have been fake news too.

Anyway, I thought 41 was a pretty classy president. Ever since then, not so much.

The CIA has a �high degree of confidence� that Putin hacked the election in favor of Trump. CNN reported that intelligence agencies had briefed Trump about an incriminating dossier. The document, compiled by a former British spy, implies Trump could be manipulated by Russia. BuzzFeed published a whiz bang story revealing the dossier�s unverified contents.

Meanwhile FBI Director James Comey is being investigated by the inspector general.

Democrats are enraged about a letter, damaging to Hillary Clinton, that Comey sent to Congress days before the election. It�s against FBI policy to comment on its investigations. But the same Democrats were thrilled by Comey�s earlier comment that Hillary shouldn�t be prosecuted.

There is no investigation of Comey�s boss AG Loretta Lynch concerning her secret meeting with Bill Clinton last summer on an airport tarmac.

And now civil rights legend John Lewis says Trump is an illegitimate president-elect. Naturally, the MSM narrative was about Trump�s tweeted response to Lewis�s attack on his legitimacy.

Bob Woodward thinks Trump has a right to be pissed.

The Democrats need more than better messaging. Politico sums up their predicament in a piece called �Democrats in the Wilderness�:

quote:
They were counting on a Clinton win to paper over a deeper rot they�ve been worrying about�and to buy them some time to start coming up with answers. In other words, it wasn�t just Donald Trump. Or the Russians. Or James Comey. Or all the problems with how Clinton and her aides ran the campaign. Win or lose, Democrats were facing an existential crisis in the years ahead�the result of years of complacency, ignoring the withering of the grass roots and the state parties, sitting by as Republicans racked up local win after local win.
