Mike Pence Steps To Obamas Face, This Is How We Take Care Of Our Vets Mr. President When Donald Trump first picked Mike Pence as his running mate, it sparked controversy among Republican leaders. Many, Ann Coulter included, believed he was not the strongest choice for the White House. Despite criticism, he has proven to be an excellent leader and role model for this country. When he took control of Trumps transition team, the first thing he did was rid the White House of all the lobbyists by putting rules in place to guarantee they will have zero influence on the Trump administration. This is a refreshing change, given that Obama made speeches about getting rid of lobbyists but benefitted from them instead. Pence has also already showed Obama up when it comes to honoring out nations veterans. Obama has only made a point to attend events that honor him, no our men and women in uniform. So it was amazing to see Mike Pence show up unannounced at a WWII memorial. He did not make a scene because he did not want to be a distractionhis focus was solely on honoring our veterans. Pence wanted to sit in the audience and not be recognized, an official confirmed. He wanted his presence to be a gesture of respect to veterans in attendance. If the event was placed on the Vice President-elects official schedule, Secret Service would have had to lock down the entire area, subjecting the veterans in attendance, some in wheelchairs, to metal detectors and other invasive security procedures. What do you think? Is Pence a true leader?
