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:
Very well said!
I do like the way you think!
Does Obama actually believe if he issues an “executive order” specifying that it’s “permanent”, that Trump and the Congress are bound to honor it? If so, he is in for some real disappointment and angst!
What can be done with a pen and a phone can undone just as easily. Not like an actual law, passed by congress, as it should be.
On SANITY??? He’s not GONE yet !!
HE AND FAMILY SHOULD MOVE BACK TO CHICAGO. THAT’S WHERE THEY BELONG……………..
Lame duck is gone in one week. Trump can and will undo all exec pen strokes made. Congress has already voted on Obamas actions to be overturned. Freaking just leave already!
How about a permanent ban on this$#%&!@*opening his mouth?
Tell the Obamanation to go screw himself.
Not everyone got it wrong. The voters got it rigbt. Only the Democrats, and Liberals got it wrong.
