Obama’s ugly bid to snub voters and tie Trump’s hands

In his waning days in the White House, President Obama is desperately trying to make his policies as permanent as possible by tying the hands of his successor — and far more than other presidents have done on their way out.

From his dramatic and disastrous change of US policy on Israel to his executive order restricting 1.65 million acres of land from development despite local objections, Obama is trying to make it impossible for Donald Trump and a GOP-controlled Congress to govern.

Even Thursday’s announcement of wide-ranging sanctions against Russia presents Trump with a foreign-policy crisis immediately upon taking office.

Folks are probably going to be more chill about this than we might think.

They know it’s an Obamatantrum. Let the lefties diminish themselves against a sensible and vigorous center.

Turns out that Barry always was, and is currently, a crappy ‘community organizer’. Perhaps he needs remedial training by organizing his sock drawer. If he fails in pairing proper socks, he can “vote present”, chuck them in the drawer, and slam it shut.

The Obama man/child is throwing a petulant little temper tantrum. January 20th can not get here fast enough.

Putin’s measured response to 0bama’s tantrum appears to be a clear signal he is willing to wait for the adults to show up and work things out rationally. He is doing much to make the foreign policy crisis not a crisis. Which is quite shrewd on his part.

From his dramatic and disastrous change of US policy on Israel to his executive order restricting 1.65 million acres of land from development despite local objections, Obama is . . .

Exactly what he has always been.

Anti-American trash.

The list to undo everything Obama did is prepared and ready to act on. This just adds 1 more thing to the list.

Just undo everything Obama did with new executive actions on Jan 20. Sign em all one after the other soon as he gets to the office after the show.

It has long been apparent that this country has been dealing with a very twisted ego, one sick with HATE for this country and the people that are TRUE AMERICANS.

This result is no surprise. If you put an America-hating, pro-Muslim, incompetent fraud in the White House, you can expect nothing less.

Blame the Congress for letting this fraudulent charade go to its full term.

Trump needs to grab obozo by his pussy and throw him out of the (soon to be again) white house.

Anything that Obama does without an act of Congress, Trump can undo without an act of Congress.

It’s not like it was ever a secret what he intended to do. Fundamental transformation, baby!

Gonna take a little while to transform it all back.

The only problem I have with this headline is the use of the singular “bid”, but I guess Zero is kind of single minded.

Luckily, foreign diplomats and leaders aren’t falling for it as readily as American media and celebrities do. Funny and sad at the same time.

Anyone -seriously- believe that Trump will think his hands are tied by Obama executive actions and policy positions?

Now hope Trump goes after King Obama with hopes that it could result of King Obama losing all his rights as a retired President. Then charge him with treason.

Tragically, the Like It Never Even Happened cleaning company turned-down the job. “Too much for us,” they said.
