A Nice Way To Say Goodbye

President Obama now has the highest approval numbers in years.  It's rather funny that as Obama gets ready to go, more and more people approve of him.  The reality, I think, is that people are just happy to see him go.  It is also true that there is very little attention on Obama at the moment.  The President Elect is the focus of the media.  Each appointment, each tweet, and each move by Trump is covered non-stop.  Obama took a major trip and, while it was covered, it took second place to every move made by Trump.  That means that people's views of Obama are moving more towards what they think of him as a person (which is good) and not what they think of his policies (which is not good.)

Hopefully, Obama will understand that his stock rises the most when he is out of sight and out of mind.  That would be a great future both for him and for America.
