President Obama moved to solidify his environmental legacy Tuesday by withdrawing hundreds of millions of acres of federally owned land in the Arctic and Atlantic Ocean from future offshore oil and gas drilling. Obama used a little-known law called the Outer Continental Shelf Lands Act to protect large portions of the Chukchi and Beaufort seas in the Arctic and a string of canyons in the Atlantic stretching from Massachusetts to Virginia from oil exploration and the potential for spills.

I think they want to put these EOs in place and then when Trump goes to rescind them they will scream bloody murder that he’s willfully wrecking the environment.
To pass a law requires the signature of the President of the United States. That would be Pres. Trump.
“...He’s just helping out his Saudi/Arab handlers.”

That he is .... business as usual among the Brotherhood.
I think Obama will try to run again in 2020. I think that’s permissible. Be the Putin of America. Sure.
Yeah, that is the fly in the ointment. :)
I would not be so sure. Even after Scalia is replaced we are essentially back to the same SC makeup that thought ObamaCare was constitutional.
Normal people are tired of hearing the left scream “the sky is falling!” or “Wolf!”
Hey BHO it don’t matter because you don’t matter
The 22nd Amendment limits Obama to the two terms he has already served.

We had the War Between the States, the Civil War, between 1861 and 1865.
He is done come January 21st HALLELUJAH!!!
“We had the War Between the States, the Civil War, between 1861 and 1865.”
What is frequently called the “Civil War” was not. A civil war is a war within a country.
Lincoln’s War was a war between two countries - the United States of America and the Confederate States of America.
He has not learned that an EO can be overdone. A legacy is when you get a proper law passed by Congress.
All civil wars involve two political entities emerging from one.
They compete and battle with each other until one wins.
Thus it has always been.
Civil wars always involve territory held by each respective entity.
These entities can call themselves anything they want, including “country”.
It does not preclude the fact they were part of one political entity, and have broken away to form a new one.
A similar case can be made for the American Revolution as being a civil war.
I hope so.
We will repeal that post haste! Screw that commie bastard.Defund all that crap or get your furniture loaded in the UHAUL !! THIS crap is over!!
Exactly.
What that putz does can be un-done. His legacy is intact...useless waste of oxygen.
MOOChele has just announced that BO can no longer drill anywhere.
I know one thing it is really going to be hard getting those leftist environmental wackos out of the EPA and the interior. Those guys will cause trouble every chance they get.. Need to fire them all and rehire!
