Once upon a time, a President of a great country wasn’t doing his job very well. Tweet this

His approval rating was very low and the public voted him out of office.

This was big news because the President was a Republican and the Republicans had held that office for a long time.

The President-elect, a Democrat, visited the sitting President to begin the complicated transition process.  During the meeting, the unpopular and ineffective Republican President offered the President-elect advice and counsel.

Later, the President sent his successor a 10-page, handwritten letter. 

Misspelling the President-elect’s name, the President urged the Democrat to “stay the course” with regard to the Republican agenda.

And that’s how Herbert Hoover handed off the United States Presidency to Franklin D. Roosevelt in 1932.

Be careful.  It’s a jungle out there.
