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 put a permanent ban on off shore drilling. It was probably done by Executive Action because I can not think of Congress approving this.
This pompous a hole needs to be arrested for his treasonous interactions with Iran! Hope he steps into a hole and wakes up in hell.
Can’t wait to see his paper dynasty burn down
Bullet to the head
Day one this and many man child actions go out the window.
Betty North you are delusional ! Your IQ may be up there in the clouds somewhere yet to be seen but anyway if you think killary$#%&!@*is not corrupt you have no common sense .
What a LEGACY OF LIES AND FAILURE this man is going to have. He will have the smallest presidential library in history because there are too many facts backing up his lies so they can’t be in it — practically all his records are sealed — soooooo, what’s left ??!!!! another example in a long line of examples as to why I am smarter and happier not being a Democrat ………
F*ck him & his legacy, get an army of good lawyers, find away around it, and burn said legacy to ash.
He CANNOT issue ANYTHING permanent. Trump will have ink in his pen too, and can undo anything and everything obama has done with his pen.
Dumbfuck can’t call for a permanent ban. Stupid ass
