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:
I think you are confusing our current President, with the President-elect!
This would be funny, if it weren’t so sad! Again, “F**E NEWS” as long as it puts down, the opposition!
Credibility and integrity, be damned.
The headline reads that Obama “breaks the law again” … laughably, the article then says several times,
that the President is “invoking a rarely used provision in federal law” and “the Outer Continental Shelf Lands Act of 1953, which says the president “may, from time to time, withdraw” federal waters from oil and gas development that are not already leased.” So, when does legally using a federal law, become breaking the law? Gee! …not too misleading a headline, huh? Not too much of a cheap shot!
Take out the trash is good with me.!
I can’t wait till his$#%&!@*meets his maker.
Arrest him
Obama wants America to remain dependent on his Muslim brothers for oil. If there was an oil glut for a prolonged period of time, the Saudis and others would soon be in debt trying to maintain their lavish lifestyles and not he able to influence American elections and American leader’s global decisions.
