Show some respect, Gov. Scott

I just could not believe that Gov. Rick Scott did not have enough respect for President Obama to inform him about the tragedy at the FOrt Lauderdale airport. He decided to inform President-elect Trump and Vice President-elect Pence. Maybe he doesn’t realize Obama is still president? Scott had the nerve to say it wasn’t political. He might not like the president, but he should show some respect. By the way, when does he leave office?
