Obama confident Trump will only change some of his policies
NY Post ^ | November 18, 2016 | Bob Fredricks

A surprisingly optimistic President Obama predicted that Republicans will undo just 15 to 20 percent of his policies when Donald Trump takes office in January — despite the president-elect’s vow to overturn all of his executive orders.

“Maybe 15 percent of that gets rolled back, 20 percent, but there’s still a lot of stuff that sticks,” Obama told the New Yorker.

He conceded that ObamaCare could take a hit.

“That has been a unifying bogeyman for Republicans over the course of the last six years,” the president said.

“In the minds of a lot of the Republican base, it is an example of a big government program designed to take something from them and give it to someone else who is unworthy.”

But, he added, if Trump and the GOP-controlled Congress only “modify but still maintain a commitment to provide health insurance for the people who received it, then a whole bunch of stuff hasn’t gone out the window.”

Obama also said he believed the Iran nuke deal — another frequent Trump target — would survive.

2 - Hillary Clinton loses her second attempt to be elected president, gets drunk and beats up her campaign chairman

3 - President Trump wipes every vestige of the Obama administration from the face of the earth

I want Trump to undo everything that 0bama and his henchmen put forth. Erasing him from history altogether would be nice, but I’d settle for reducing him to a mere asterisk.

So, more like 90% then?

And FUBO. A bogeyman? Do you recall “if you like your doctor, you can keep your doctor?”

I repeat: FUBO.

I hope he gets so much done in the first month that heads are spinning and the media can’t keep up.
He is right to warn Congress to gear up - they are not used to the pace of a workaholic.

Agreed, and at the same time he does not want trouble. He wants most to be worshiped and play golf and be wealthy.

I think jarrett is more upset than him.

Haven’t read her name at all. dont TRUST HER!!

My hope is that Trump erases every bit of the Kenyanesian Usurpation.

Treat him no differently than a hostage negotiation unit does with kidnappers....”We accept all of your demands. We have a plane fueled and ready to go, and the ransom money is inside.” Of course, the kidnapper never makes it to the getaway plane.
