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:
Well Greg….liberals are responsible for low cost mental health care. I urge you to consider partaking. By the way, how are you liking how the GOP is lowering taxes on the richest 1 percent and effectively making you and the rest of the lower classes pay more? That is the crux of conservative policy and you aren’t clever enough to realize it. As long as they are racist, you love it whatever it costs you
Our “king” is soon to be dead. Good riddance.
This will go down in history as the most epic abuse of executive power endured by the American people so far. We have to be vigilant in electing people who actually respect and honor our unique form of government. Obama studied just enough of the constitution to figure out how to make end runs around it.
So well written. Hits all the points of Obamas destruction. Is common sense so lacking in so many Americans ? People will have to take responsibility for their actions before we can start to heal.
2017 ERASE OBAMMY….NOT A TRACE LEFT !!!
Patsy Watson No one is talking about Springer show media spun ‘controversies’ but rather what Obama has done while in office. It is undeniably damaging to our system and chances for prosperity.
Just more childish actions by a narcissistic child
