When Donald Trump secured the Republican nomination, Barack Obama probably thought that his legacy was secure. The man everyone said could not win was going up against Hillary Clinton, the woman who pledged to keep Obama’s legacy intact.
Unfortunately for Obama, almost everyone got it wrong. Donald Trump won big in November, and now eight years of Obama-era regulations are set to be dismantled under the new president-elect.
But Obama isn’t giving up. Despite having warned Trump to not over-use executive orders, the lame duck president is now using all the power at his disposal to keep Trump from undoing his fragile legacy.
Obama’s latest last-minute power-grab has to do with offshore drilling. Trump may have campaigned on a promise to make America more energy independent, but if Obama gets his way, he may not be able to.
See how he’s trying to keep Trump from drilling for oil off the American coastline on the next page:
His ex executive orders are meaningless at this point. He’s just throwing a tantrum.
What damage are you talking about ? Killing bin laden putting people back to work stoping two wars affordable gas prices what?
90 million out of work is not 4.6 percent. Employers part timing everyone to stop insurance is making people work two jobs to make ends meet. Don’t believe the government numbers. Gas was going to dive anyway, obummer had nothing to do with that. Worst pot us ever.
Muslim crook

F**k you!

I hafta wonder if he isn’t just slipping a little….like dementia.
Obama your a joke and we the people are counting down the days for you to be gone buddy!
It is only permanent until he leaves office! That the thing about executive actions they only last as long as you are in office.
He’s got an excuse for every reason to bring the nation down climate change don’t mean nothing to him that’s just an excuse things that the American people are stupid
