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:
January 20th can’t get here soon enough
The areas he “banned” are currently not being explored for petroleum, to expensive. I the area needs explored it will be. Executive orders can be overturn easily.
The party is over, turn out the lights…
Should have been removed years ago under the 25th Amendment clause for the mentally incompetent and indicted. Impeachment takes years for the slow motion CONgress anyway.
Enjoyed reading your thoughtful well researched review. Did you ever happen to come across a report that Obama went to India to study? I saw an interview by the author of Dreams from my Real Father a few days ago, where that was speculated. The author said the Occidental was a lie, etc. and he believe that where Obama was more immersed in Islam. Thanks again for sharing your thoughts.
Need to have permanent band on Obama and his Muslim people

He is being stupid. Oboma
ALL OF ITS DISBARRED EXECT ORDERS WILL BE OVER TURNED WITH ONE ORDER. .
The American people, the true Americans place a permanent ban on Obama and his crime syndicate. He deserves to be tarred and feathered and run out of this country.
