President Obama has described Donald Trump as ignorant, dangerous and unfit to lead the nation, but he’ll ask the Republican president-elect Thursday not to wipe out his cherished, legacy-making executive actions on everything from the Iranian nuclear deal to Obamacare.
In a meeting at the White House to prepare Mr. Trump for taking office, Mr. Obama will try to persuade the president-elect to honor what his aides call a “tradition” of preserving executive actions implemented by the departing chief executive.
“There is a tradition, particularly with regard to executive agreements of successive presidents preserving some element of continuity,” said White House press secretary Josh Earnest. “I don’t know whether or not that will apply in this case.

That is because many of us were too busy working to support ourselves, our families, and Obama's vast left wing social engineering, corporate regulation, climate change and ___________ [fill in the blank] programs.
We’re about to find out if Trump is a man of his word or was just pandering to get votes.
I’m paying he keeps his word.
Trump is a master negotiator, not some political snark, he will make a deal for the benefit of America. Frankly, I am not worried about him and 0bama’s pleas. 0bama doesn’t have an offer on the table.
0bama has no real power here. Trump can feel free to do what he needs to do.
Say some nice words or other BS than dump zero’s EOs. On the advice of my counsel, we’re so sorry we had to get rid of your Kenyan EOs.
Say no and hell no and then leave.
This is about as funny as watching cBS news last night. Scott Pelley ended the show with a lecture on separation of powers and a history of the Constitution. If there is anybody that needed that lecture it was Obama.
That’s great
Noooooooooooooooooooooooooo!
trump should just nod smile and agree take the oath then break out the shredder
Dear obama, go f*ck yourself.
GMTA. Trump doesn’t have to do anything. Just let the conservative sleuths do their thing. Is he really Steve Dunham or some Jakarta street boy imposter?
What Obama? Not live up to a campaign promise. That's your style bathhouse boy.
Perhaps past presidents’ EOs were done legally, Barry.
geez, what a corrupt, arrogant pos. Don’t let the door hit you on the way out!
Sore loser...
LOL. good luck with that.
TRUST ME: Trump should say “ I will consider it.” Make evertone think he’s politics as usual.
Then day 1 rescind them all.
I thought the same thing. SUNKS IF A TRAP. Maybe trump should invite Ibama to his Tower and stay away from the WH.
I remember reading an article that a lot Bill’s appointees managed to worm their way into the civil service system before he left office. So watch out Trump.
