Barack and Michelle Obama have elegance and class [View all]

Trump spent years attacking Barack Obama with his "birther" crap, not to mention all the other shit he threw at the Obamas with every racist bone in his body.

Yet, at the GWH Bush funeral, both Obama and Michelle shook his hand. Michelle wrote in her book that Trump's "birtherism" had put their lives at risk. Nonetheless, neither of them were about to make a "scene." They were not about to spit on a swine. They're above that. They are two wonderful people who know what it is to be decent human beings.
