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:
Cant wait for obama to be thrown in jail.
and the cost of gas will increase for the start of trump, and the retarded simple minded people will say its trumps fault.
Doubt seriously if it is permanent! 🙂
Ya…… well. He can’t ban anything by himself.
Because only foreign countries are allowed to drill.
Lying anti job traitor.
He can’t permanently ban anything
He stood in chicago last night and said he was making the transition for Trump as easy as possible! he’s lied for 8 years and will go out the same way…lying!! Can’t wait for Trump’s first 100 days and see how he reverses all Obamas mess. Well its a start anyways!!
why are there so many dumbasses on here that does not want to move away from fossil fuel. maybe you think by the time we can’t use fossil fuel you will be dead and gone and someone else will have to tell your grandkids and great grandkids why we are running out of energy and the planet is more polluted the ever thought it could be.
We need to buy that oil from the muslim countries and make them richer.
