WASHINGTON (AP) -- President Barack Obama is creating a council to help ensure a smooth transition to his successor.

Created by executive order, the White House Transition Coordinating Council will be led by Obama's chief of staff.

Members include deputies to the chief of staff, the intelligence director, the budget director and the president's homeland security and counterterrorism adviser.

The council's responsibilities include providing guidance to departments and agencies, working with the transition directors for the presidential candidates and holding emergency preparedness and response exercises.

"OBAMA CREATES COUNCIL TO HELP ENSURE SMOOTH TRANSITION..."

..... Translation ........ He has his goons in place and has written in stone what the next administration CAN NOT touch that he has set in motion. He is insuring that the quick slide into Socialism is protected as much as possible.

..... There will be tons of booby traps and triggers set up to maximize his and all American socialist leader's talking points to smear the next generation.

.... Yup .... like he said ..... Smooth Transition.

Obama was required to do this because of a law that was passed in March. The “Edward “Ted” Kaufman and Michael Leavitt Presidential Transitions Improvements Act of 2015” was introduced by Delaware Sen. Tom Carper and Sen. Ron Johnson of Wisconsin.

But, I expect he’ll try to exploit this and use it to try and preserve his appointees in positions to cause the most damage to a Trump presidency.

Sounds to me like a nice group to get all in one place and then outright have them disbanded and dissolved as a council.

Granddad Trump (or Drumpf) was a German immigrant.
Father Fred traveled to Scotland, married a Scot.

On the other hand, this is exactly what GWB did. A full year before Obambi took office, GWB began transition efforts, mostly because of the complete lack of transition from the previous administration. GWB, no matter what you think of him now, was and is a Christian gentleman. The previous Hillbilly Whorehopper and his idiot Vice President are the total opposite, narcissistic creepozoids.

Also, I completely agree with all the distrustful comments. It will take the most powerful exterminator to rid our country of all the pestilence Obambi has put in place.

He must know that Trump’s his replacement. Otherwise there’d be no reason for a “Transition Commission,” because all the chairs would have the very same people in them if he thoght Hitlary was going to win.

Remember “The Office of the President-Elect”?

It never existed before Obama showed up.
