Dana Perino: Obama Didn’t Say Anything Bec. He Wanted the Election Results To Be Respected

‘President Obama was trying to be presidential and wanted to accept the election results’

RUSH TRANSCRIPT:
PERINO: "I asked a Democrat friend yesterday about President Obama or someone speaking on his behalf to come forward in the next day or so to try to clarify a little bit. They said, yes he should but he won't. They are in lock down mode, partly because they are not saying anything, lots of classified things. Also, President Obama has a book coming out in the fall... I hope not, but you can imagine that will be a chapter that everyone will want to see. I don't think they can actually wait that long. Imagine if you put yourself in their shoes, the president is saying, the current president, was saying that the election is being rigged against me in favor against Hillary Clinton. If President Obama had come out and said, actually no, Donald Trump, President Putin is trying to put you -- what would Trump supporters have done then? We would have gone ballistic. I think one of the things -- I did say we. I think perhaps he didn't say anything after because President Obama was trying to be presidential and wanted to accept the election results. He said that in the first press conference when the Democrats were all mad. He said, fair and square, the guy won, let's support him. I don't want to speak on his behalf and somebody should probably get on speaker him."
