(CNN)President-elect Donald Trump has threatened to undo President Barack Obama's legacy once he takes office on January 20, 2017. However, with just over a month left before Obama leaves the White House, liberals are putting in some last minute requests for the outgoing commander-in-chief.
While many of Obama's critics have highlighted the use of executive orders as an overreach, many of his supporters on the left are urging him to use his final days in office to take action.
Pardon Edward Snowden
Various famous faces have publicly called on the President to pardon NSA leaker Edward Snowden, including actors Maggie Gyllenhaal and Daniel Radcliffe, Apple co-founder Steve Wozniak, and business magnate and political activist George Soros.

The rest:
Pardon 750,000 undocumented young people
Close Guantanamo Bay
Pardon Hillary Clinton
Reduce or commute Chelsea Manning's prison sentence
Formally recognize Palestine
End the violence at Standing Rock
Free asylum-seekers
Replace water pipes in Flint, Michigan
Create more national monuments
Quite a list, I have only one request:
0bama, Just. Go. Away.
11) “When will those Skittles shtttng Unicorns you promised finally be delivered?”
11) Even though we loath the military - please, please, please pardon “Bowe” Bergdahl.
I like that:)
2. Pardon 750,000 undocumented young people - Pointless, since they will never be criminally prosecuted anyway, and pardoning them will not make them citizens or prevent them from being deported.
3. Close Guantanamo Bay - If Obama had any interest in doing this, he would have already done it.
4. Pardon Hillary Clinton - Sure go ahead, it would only confirm that she is a criminal and that Democrats are the party that protects crooked politicians.
5. Reduce or commute Chelsea Brad Manning's prison sentence - Screw that. He's lucky he didn't get sentenced to hang.
6. Formally recognize Palestine - Can easily be reversed by Trump on day one, so who cares?
7. End the violence at Standing Rock - Since the protesters are the ones committing the violence, how can Obama stop them with an Executive Order? Makes no sense.
8. Free asylum-seekers - No way, Jose.
9. Replace water pipes in Flint, Michigan - Not the federal government's business.
10. Create more national monuments - Easily reversed by Trump on day one, who cares.
Funny, but it would be even better if it was some “Malware Removal Tool” doing the uninstall :)
I'm afraid Obama will probably leave some nasty stuff behind. We're going to need a good anti-virus treatment.
I get more laughs on FR than anywhere else.
