of the ordinary, or do we just not hear about it, in normal transition times people pretend to be lovey-doveyis is behind the scenes and we don't know about it? >> i have no idea. i think everything about the 2016 election as well as the new occupant of the white house, president trump, is unique, one-of-a-kind, ground-breaking and the rest of it. so to have the transition and relationship with the previous president be unique it is i think par for the course. i certainly for one am not surprised president obama is angry or livid as has been reported because of the allegations that have been made by president trump about the both of wiretaps as well as somehow being a mastermind behind the white house leaks. it is unfortunate. we like to see our presidents. it is very exclusive club that only belongs to a handful of men that are still alive. americans like to see those presidents get together and find common ground but it is looking pretty hairy right now between those two. melissa: brad, seems like we are in a new era, people don't accept what is fixed. for these guys to pretend like they're
