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.

Good point. Since all EOs were legislation that never went through Congress, maybe Trump should review all EOs currently in effect. Including those of GWB and WJC and GHWB.

If Obama’s negotiating skills with Trump are anything like his skills negotiating with Iran, Trump will get everything he wants and give up nothing BEFORE the talks begin.

Then again, the Democrats only oppose “The Republicans”.

Oh to be a fly on the wall there.

Obama isn’t fit to tie Trumps laces.

And as for ‘negotiating’ with him?

honor what his aides call a “tradition” of preserving executive actions implemented by the departing chief executive.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Executive_Order_13233

It was drafted by then White House Counsel Alberto Gonzales and issued by George W. Bush on November 1, 2001.

The order was revoked on January 21, 2009 by Barack Obama's Executive Order 13489,[2] which essentially restored most of the wording of Order 12667 with some modifications.

Your link is revealing of his contempt for Bush that he followed. The same contempt would be fitting in this transition.

Hoist Obozo on his on Petard. (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Petard)

Daylight exposure of the Leftist Puke is the correct prescription for dealing with his evil being.
