WASHINGTON — President-elect Donald Trump was surprisingly gracious as he met President Barack Obama in the Oval Office on Thursday but make no mistake: He is already working to erase major parts of Obama’s legacy from the history books.
Trump will be able to change some of Obama’s policies with a quick stroke of the pen. Others will be much more difficult, requiring justification to pass legal hurdles or buy-in from lawmakers on Capitol Hill or foreign leaders.
“He can make a big difference at the outset of his administration, but it will take him years and support from dubious congressional factions and allies overseas to get a lot of other things done,” said Charles Tiefer, former solicitor and deputy general counsel of the House of Representatives and now a professor at the University of Baltimore law school.

FUBO
“Erase legacy” and “damage repair” are synonyms here.
If it’s that easy to do, then it means Obama never had a legacy to start with
Obama’s legacy of what? Playing golf? Taking trips all over creation on AF-1?
Politicians have destroyed and sold out America to China , Mexico etc. Name one thing politicians have done for America in the last 30 years ?
Trump has just stopped TPP and saved our sovereignty without any power in 1 day. That’s more than these corrupt pukes like Romney , Graham , Mcain , Hillary ,Bernie et al have done in 30 years combined . in fact the opposite only more government , 20 trillion in debt, 70,000 factories gone to China, jobs gone, more regulations, more illegals .
Right on. Erased with the stroke of a pen. That’s the way he likes it.
Someone on the left will start calling this an effort to
apply White-Out to the ‘accomplishments’ of the 1st black president. So be it.
The first stip is a proclamation on Day One revoking all of Obama’s executive orders and programs. DACA and the DREAMERS should be the first to go, and they should deported forthwith.
When they cry that they were relying on Obama to legalize them, the response should be the well known maxim that you cannot gain any rights through the illegal acts of a government official.
That is likely an election map for that demographic for.the past 50 years. Means nothing.
18-20 year olds shouldn’t even be voting. “Child” support payments in almost all states now go to 21 and BEYOND. Usually to support the single, lib soccermom’s lifestyle in her efforts (and the public school system/universities) to indoctrinate her children: white man bad, everyone else good.
I believe the word she was looking for is "ameliorate".
January 20....DIRECT orders to DHS and CPB to ENFORCE THE LAW and stop the unchecked ILLEGAL immigration IMMEDIATELY!
Nationalize state guards to assist if that is required. Very easy.
2008-2016. Obama’s “legacy”: golf, lavish vacations, and apologizing for the USA.
From now on, every negative thing about Trump that I read, hear, or see that came from any member of the media, polling companies, or political party that hammered him during the election, I will treat with the respect and belief that it deserves.
None.
Praise God.
I won’t take much to transform Obama into the loser he has always been.
He bloody well better be.
They will never get that bath tub ring out
