President Barack Obama’s final weeks in office seem dedicated to setting foreign and domestic policy on fire to make life as difficult as possible on his successor, Donald Trump. Here are some of the biggest mousetraps Obama scattered across the White House floor on his way out: Betraying Israel at the United Nations: Obama’s refusal to block a United Nations vote against Israel, his administration’s shadowy machinations to bring that ugly motion to the floor, and Secretary of State John Kerry’s long-winded broadside against Israel will leave President Trump with a massive political crisis in the Middle East, and quite possibly a security crisis, if terror groups and their “political wings” are emboldened by the rebuke of Israel.
Obama’s Israel maneuver also damages American credibility, teaching would-be allies that the United States is not the best friend to have. America’s erstwhile battlefield allies in Syria can teach the same lesson, assuming any of them are left alive to take the podium. This comes at the very moment aspiring hegemons in China and Russia are showing their allies how Beijing and Moscow will go to the mat for them.
Obama’s team thinks it was clever to saddle Trump with an international edict the U.S. president cannot easily reverse. They might not have thought this all the way through, because some of the options that are available to Trump could leave internationalists, and Palestinian leaders, cursing Barack Obama’s memory.
Note that even some commentators friendly to Obama, and sources within the Obama Administration itself, have described the Israel vote as a deliberate act of sabotage aimed at Trump, because Obama is “alarmed” by some of Trump’s appointees.

Scorched earth, as if his policy wasn’t to destroy America to begin with. And his mindless followers on the Left are all for it.
Did anyone expect this petulant piece of shit to do anything else on the way out?
Obama Is Trying To Sabotage The Trump America
Let no one be mistaken.
...Scorched earth, as if his policy wasn’t to destroy America to begin with...
Armed security should escort him for his final exit of the White House to keep him from setting fire to it.
Only 7?
Deport George Soros, solve 90% of our problems.
There has to be a way.
Obama will “convert” to Islam from Christianity after he leaves office. He no longer needs his Christian charade when he leaves office.
No, he is trying to sabotage OUR America. This is not a petty attempt to go after the new owner of a business after a hostile takeover.
This is Obama committing treason and sabotage.
This is the kind of thing that used to get you shot at dawn.
Maybe Onyx this Russia flapadoodle is all about DJT not letting Soro's getting extradited to Russia who has a warrant out for his arrest. Perhaps this is why BHO is trying to sully the waters. Ipt won't matter IMHO, VP & DJT are too tough for any of this garbage. Belated Xmas and a happy New Year and I hope you are well!
#8 was on a another thread: The community organizer has left the world’s oceans free of U.S. carriers for the coming week, no doubt hoping that some miscreant will stir up trouble for Trump.
BFL
Say WHAT?
typo amigo
Should be “Obama Is Trying To Sabotage America”
My typo. Please don’t shoot me at dawn
Yes he is trying to sabotage Trump but he will fail. Once Trump gets into power the Obama nightmare will quickly fade into oblivion. The adults are taking over and the children will be seen but not heard. They will have their coloring books and play doh to keep them happy.
Barack who?
Not a damn bit will work.
Obama is a loser and quite a sore one at that.
His “fundamental” transforming of America is over.
Trump is in. He can just signal the world to calm down.
Obama is out.
Peace FRiend.
You, I have no desire to shoot.
You just got caught in friendly fire. And we all know "Friendly Fire, Ain't!"
I have been with Specops and Centcom for quite a bit lately and Obama has no pull.
Just relax.
Will they be as successful as the “Seven Ways Obama Tried To Sabotage The Trump Campaign?”
