Barack Obama in 2020 Conventions

On Principles & Values: Presidency means reverence for democracy placed in his care

[Keynote speech at DNC]: "I have sat in the Oval Office with both of the men who are running for president. I never expected that my successor would embrace my vision or continue my policies. I did hope, for the sake of our country, that Donald Trump might show some interest in taking the job seriously; that he might come to feel the weight of the office and discover some reverence for the democracy that had been placed in his care," Mr. Obama said. "But he never did." Source: C. Linton on CBS News on 2020 Democratic National Convention Aug 21, 2020
