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:
Anything he dose now if all for not a lame duck president has no power to do anything in his last days in office it’s all for show
Legal, permanent, or not, you have to be blind to disagree with the proclaimed reasoning behind this move. Besides, the oil companise itching to get at these resources don’t give a damn about US energy self sufficiency, they want to export oil for profit. Let us not become the next dinosaurs…
NOTHING is permanent. Executive orders are b******t.
Reversing HIS orders with the stroke of the pen is no better than his edicts. The reversals must be done with the clout of Congress to make it permanently stick, else the next liberal will reverse-BACK all of the 0bama-stupidity once again. Then where would we be?
Betty North. Likely is far from definitely. Also those who brag about their I.Q. usually aren’t as smart as they think they are.
Brian Piehl Anyone who posts an I.Q. over 120 online I don’t believe. In the end it proves nothing online.
F**k president Obama!
He has screwed us for eight years and he thinks he is the ever ready rabbit but the plug will be pulled he is out of here
Nothing is permanent, except death, and one day, he will answer to his creator, and if he does not believe the account God gave of his Son , Jesus Christ, he will spilt hell wide open
All I can say is, “Don’t let the door hit you on your way out.” People are literally treating him like a King. Some believe he walks on water, including himself. It would not surprise me to see the next petition calling for Lincoln to be replaced by Obama on Mount Rushmore.
