President-elect Trump’s road map for eviscerating Obama’s policies
Washington Times ^ | Nov. 10, 2016 | The Washington Times

Forget about waiting for Congress — Donald Trump can eviscerate Obamacare and cripple President Obama’s global warming framework all on his first few days in office by directing policy from the White House and ordering his Justice Department to drop lawsuits that the current administration is pursuing.

Lawyers said getting rid of the government’s mandate that schools allow transgender students to choose their bathrooms could be as simple as retracting an Education Department letter, then letting judges know that is no longer the administration’s position.

Mr. Obama’s 2014 deportation amnesty, which is also the subject of court challenges, could be nixed by revoking the Homeland Security memo that laid out the policy, then telling judges it’s gone. No memo, no case.

It was always the danger lurking in Mr. Obama’s penchant for going it alone and declining to work with Congress — a new president who disagrees with him can quickly reverse many of his big-ticket accomplishments.

“What Obama’s pen and phone giveth, Trump’s Sharpie and Twitter will taketh away,” said Josh Blackman, an associate professor at the South Texas College of Law.

He can do much on Day One.

Schools could conveniently locate a Port-a-Can for students who don’t know what they are.

Trump has a hundred days to remove all reference that jOkeass was ever here. May, Obola and his prayer rug be forever at Gitmo.

I say leave Obama care in place for a year. Let the people feel the effects of what THEY voted for.

It was always about The Royal Idiot’s whims and his obsession to gain permanent Democrat majorities.

Never once did he suggest he would move to protect US interests.......or to stop Secy Hillary endangering the safety and security of Americans.


Here’s the community organizer genius at work:

He sued banks b/c they wisely did not give mortgages to bottom-feeders who could not possibly pay them off.

Then, as president, the genius sued banks for burdening the ne’er do well bottom feeders w/ mortgages they could not possibly payoff.

It’s Saturday morning. I woke up and asked my wife if I’m in a dream!?

I’ve spent the past 3 nights just reading and viewing all the over-the-top smug predictions over the past year from the political and Hollywood elites. And closing each browser tab with a big smile.

It’s a beautiful thing.

Zactly. And Trump better move fast. He has a two year window, IMO, to deport millions by any means necessary. The election was too close. Trump was strong and Hillary weak. Mid terms do not favor the incumbent president, traditionally. And the onslaught from the media...

Excellent point.....

Obama's Democrats (gag).

Luckily, the Royal Idiot sucked up to the Castros.

That queered the Cuban Florida vote.

Or else...we coulda been talking President Hillary. Yikes.
