Obama will ask Trump to keep executive orders in place
washingtontimes.com ^ | 11/9/16 | Dave Boyer

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. But as a part of this effective, smooth transition, President Obama

off topic. Watching Haley Barber on FBN and he, being part of the GOPe, doesn’t want many of Trump’s policies. Talking big time about how wonderful Paul Ryan is. Get rid of all of the Bozos!

Recall that in 2008, Barack Obama threw a temper tantrum when he met with then President Bush.

Every single one of them yesterday Hillary, Obama, John Earnest, John Kerry all of them said a smooth transition. That bothered me.

Another thing has also been going on with the election results. I've never heard so many politicians, pundits, reporters, etc. use the term "peaceful transition" ever before. It's as if it's a dog whistle for the miscreants (being kind) on the left to go out and demonstrate and disrupt the masses!

And Trump will say: "I won".

If Trump does not rescind the vast majority of the jug eared prancing clown’s EOs, I would ask for a recall of Mr. Trump.

“Leave my EO’s in place, and I won’t pardon Hillary.”

Respond: "If Hillary is pardoned, then she cannot legitimately plead the Fifth Amendment when we depose her to reveal everything she knows about all corrupt and illegal acts in DC. She will have to tell all, or be jailed for contempt."

Just the fact that Obama has to ask is awesome. Obama has been bullying people around for eight years, those days are over!

That’s what I’m thinking...the community organizer will threaten DJT with never ending race riots.

If you like your Executive Orders, you can keep your Executive Orders.

No, those speeches were phony as hell...

After listening to Hillary’s and Obama’s speeches yesterday I am more worried about Trump than ever. They were way to nice and conciliatory. I believe Trump is in very grave danger and fear he won’t even make it to the presidency. I’m sorry to say that but those speeches were polar opposite of both their personalities. Something is very wrong.


You know, I was thinking the same thing. Way too cooperative and makes me think they are up to something,. Then the protests began.

Trump better get a good transition team in place quick because one thing is for certain: the leftists NEVER give up power easily.

There has been a “tradition” of following the dictates of our Constitution and governing in an honest manner.....but I guess the muslim decided to ignore the document drafted by our founders.

DT has gone nose-to-nose with captains of industry and prevailed so I doubt he will be swayed by a community organizer.

If Trump really wants to increase the "pucker factor" in Washington he'll threaten to rescind the executive order issued by John F. Kennedy that allowed federal employees to unionize.

And Trump will politely tell him he will do what the People have demanded of him when they elected him to “I won, you lost, get over it” status....
