history of our country. mr. obama has called trump unfit to serve and woefully unprepared to be president. but early this morning, after trump declared victory, the president called him, congratulated him and invited him to the white house tomorrow to talk about the transition. donald trump will become the 45th president of the united states on january 20th, 10 weeks from friday, and we're looking at a live picture now. that is the door to the oval office, the door that opens out into the rose garden where we are expecting president obama at any moment and, as we wait for that door to swing open, let's go to john dickerson, anchor of "face the nation" and political director. president obama and donald trump have one thing in common, both defeated hillary clinton. >> that's right. if you think of the presidential campaigns as an answer to the

previous presidency, barack obama was sometimes described as prophesorial. he game into office. people talk about a post-partisan campaign he ran and donald trump has run the opposite campaign. >> pelley: here is the president followed by the vice president. president barack obama. >> good afternoon, everybody. yesterday, before votes were tall idea, i shot a video that some of you may have seen in which i said to the american people, regardless of which side you are on in the election, regardless of whether your candidate won or lost, the sun would come up in the morning, and that is one bit of prognosticating that actually came true. the sun is up. i know everybody had a long night. i did, as well. i had a chance to talk to president-elect trump last night about 3:30 in the morning, i

think it was, to congratulate him on winning the election and i had a chance to invite him to come to the white house tomorrow to talk about making sure that there is a successful transition between our presidentys. now, it is no secret that the president-elect and i have some pretty significant differences, but, remember, eight years ago, president bush and i had some pretty significant differences. but president bush's team could not have been more professional or more gracious in making sure we had a smooth transition so that we could hit the ground running. one thing you realize quickly in this job is that the presidency and the vice presidency is bigger than any of us. so i have instructed my team to follow the example that president bush's team set eight years ago and work as hard as we can to make sure that this is a successful transition for the president-elect because we are

now all rooting for his success in uniting and leading the country. the peaceful transition of power is one of the hallmarks of our democracy and, over the next few month, we are going to show that to the world. i also had a chance last night to speak with secretary clinton, and i just had a chance to hear her remarks. i could not be prouder of her. she has lived an extraordinary life of public service. she was a great first lady. she was an outstanding senator for the state of new york and she could not have been a better secretary of state. i'm proud of her. a lot of americans look up to her. her candidacy and nomination was historic and sends a message to our daughters all across the country that they can achieve at the highest levels of politics, and i am absolutely confident that she and president clinton

will continue to do great work for people here in the united states and all around the world. now, everybody has said, when their side -- now, everybody is sad when their side loses an election. but the day after, we have to remember that we're actually all on one team. this is an intramural scrimmage. we're not democrats first, we're not republicans first, we are americans first. we're patriots first. we all want what's best for this country. that's what i heard in mr. trump's remarks last night, that's what i heard when i spoke to him directly, and i was heartened by that. that's what the country needs, a sense of unity, a sense of inclusion, a respect for our institutions, our way of life,

rule of law law, and respect for each other. i hope he maintains that spirit throughout this transition and i certainly hope that's how his presidency has a chance to begin. i also told my team today to keep their heads up because the remarkable work that they have done day in, day out, often without a lot of fanfare, often without a lot of attention, work in agencies, work in obscure areas of policy that make government run better and make it more responsive and make it more efficient and make it more service-friendly so that it's actually helping more people, that remarkable work has left the next president with a

stronger, better country than the one that existed eight years ago. so win or lose, in this election, that was always our mission. that was our mission from day one. and every one on my team should be extraordinarily proud of everything that they have done, and so should all the americans i've had a chance to meet all across this country who do the hard work of building on that progress every single day. teachers in schools, doctors in e.r. clinics, small businesses putting their all into starting something up, making sure they're treating their employees well, all the important work that's done by moms and dads and families and congregations in every state, the work of perfecting this union, so this

was a long and hard-fought campaign. a lot of our fellow americans are exalted today. a lot of americans are less so. but that's the nature of campaigns. that's the nature of democracy. it is hard. and sometimes contentious and noisy. it's not always inspiring. but to the young people who got into politics for the first time and may be disappointed by the results, i just want you to know, you have to stay encouraged. don't get cynical. don't ever think you can't make a difference. as secretary clinton said this morning, fighting for what is right is worth it. sometimes you lose an argument. sometimes you lose an election.

you know, the path that this country has taken has never been a straight line. we zig and zag, and sometimes, you know, we move in ways that some people think is forward and others think is moving back. and that's okay. i've lost elections before. joe hasn't, but -- ( laughter ) -- you know. so -- >> you beat me badly. that's the way politics works sometimes. we try really hard to persuade people, and then people vote. then if we lose, we learn from our mistakes, we do some reflection, we lick our wounds, we brush ourselves off, we get

back in the arena, we go at it. we try even harder the next time. the point, though, is that we all go forward with the presumption of good faith in our fellow citizens because that presumption of good faith is essential to a vibrant and functioning democracy. that's how this country has moved forward for 240 years. that's how we pushed boundaries and promoted freedom around the world. that's how we've expanded the rights of our founding to reach all of our citizens. it's how we have come this far, and that's why i'm confident that this incredible journey that we're on as americans will go on, and i'm looking forward to doing everything i can to make sure that the next president is successful in that. i have said before, i think of this job as being a relay

runner. you take the baton, you run your best race, and hopefully, by the time you hand it off, you're a little further ahead, you've made a little progress, and i can see we've done that and i want to make sure that handoff is well executed because, ultimately, we're all on the same team. all right. thank you very much, everybody. ( applause ) >> pelley: president barack obama beginning perhaps what is the single greatest obligation of any president, the peaceful transition of power, not just peaceful but magnanimous transition of power to a political opponent. john dickerson, we are also experiencing a very rare moment in american history looking at the numbers on our wall here, it appears that hillary clinton has lost badly in the electoral college but is winning, at this point, the popular vote,

something that's only happened four times previously in american history, and three of those times were in the 19t 19th century, then, of course, a lot of us remember the only other time that happened and that was the year 2000. >> that's right, and tim kaine, her running mate, mentioned that early in his remarks before hillary clinton came out to talk to her supporters as if to ratify her message. and there will be a lot of talk about mandates, but if more voters voted for hillary clinton, that's something her supporters hold on to. you know, barack obama talked about passing the baton not to the runner he had hoped for. but, you know, i've talked to him and he talks about what george w. bush did to prepare the way for him and to see him refer to george w. bush and keep that going as the last act of a presidency, to keep it smart and tidy for the next person, that is the first symbol of that transfer of power. >> pelley: margaret brennan is an eyewitness to today's eve
