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:
January 20th can’t get here fast enough.
Hate him more every time he opens his filthy mouth.
Can’t trust this n***a
It can be undone especially with a republican congress. It’ll take a while for a new bill to be drawn up but they can do that in a day.
Banning America from off shore drilling, ensuring dependents on middleeastern oil. Many many oil companies stake their business lives on the middle East. Can you imagine the fall out if America became Independent and did not need foregin oil?? Holy cow
Does he know how many executive orders he’s giving to Trump???
Hopefully Trump will sign an executive order banning Obama.
Barbara Caudill , nothing like calling the kettle black?? You just passed judgement! Brainwashed, brainless and haters? Just a deplorable here! Have a good day Barbara, I’m sure God still loves most of us!
Laws can be changed if they have enogh bright people in congress…that may be doubtful…
Let’s put a permanent ban on Obama.
