President Obama seems to be the only high-profile Dem/Lib in the nation with any sense of perspective about the Trump win.

Perhaps that’s because he is more keenly aware than almost any living person of the limits of presidential power in our system. (Of course, he spent the last eight years trying to find ways around those limits.)

See, for example, this:

“Obama expresses frustration on Guantanamo Bay: ‘I have not been able to close the darn thing'”
