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:
he can’t say or pass anything that trump can’t undo
Is this a maneuver to force us into importing more oil rather than using available sources to keep the price low; or is the president honestly attempting to protect the environment? What say you?
He can’t issue a permanent ban on anything without the approval of the congress and senate, and that’s not going to happen.
William Adams the draining starts when Trump is in office moron.
No he didn’t .
He is just POWER MAD and will not go the way$#%&!@*or STALIN ,he wanted to go the way CASTRO did OLD AGE
Opec, cut production and the price of gas just went up by 12 cents , nuke them break the glass drill for oil ! Why wait!!
Proving that he is not a natural born citizen will void everything he has done for the last 8 dreadful years.
Just another leftist crybaby
I think it’s pretty clear what this is Islamic radical has been trying to do.
He wants us to be dependent on other countries for oil and that’s the reason he wants to make it impossible for us to secure our own oil reserves.
