Obama will ask Trump to keep executive orders in place

President Obama has described Donald Trump as ignorant, dangerous and unfit to lead the nation, but he’ll ask the Republican president-elect Thursday not to wipe out his cherished, legacy-making executive actions on everything from the Iranian nuclear deal to Obamacare.

In a meeting at the White House to prepare Mr. Trump for taking office, Mr. Obama will try to persuade the president-elect to honor what his aides call a “tradition” of preserving executive actions implemented by the departing chief executive.

“There is a tradition, particularly with regard to executive agreements of successive presidents preserving some element of continuity,” said White House press secretary Josh Earnest. “I don’t know whether or not that will apply in this case. But as a part of this effective, smooth transition, President Obama

[Right Wing Assault]

Oh, that's great! The destroyer of American traditions wants Trump to follow tradition. Ha, ha!

He's supposed to keep terrible destructive actions just because of tradition? Nice try.

[OrangeHoof]

Agree to whatever until sworn in and then dismantle the EOs. The Dems have nothing to lose trying to get Trump to agree to preserving Obama’s legacy but he is under no obligation to follow through with them after he takes the oath of office.

A Clintonesque “we could do that” (silent emphasis on the word ‘could’) makes it sound like they have a deal until it is too late for them to do anything about it when you rescind the EO. You could even give them the Clintonesque “I tried as hard as I could to get you that but I just couldn’t fit that into the budget” mularkey afterwards.

It would be so rich to watch the Left have to swallow the same bs they spoonfed the rest of us for the past 25 years.

“No, those speeches were phony as hell..”

It is traditional not to gloat over a victory. God forbade gloating in the the Bible, with a warning He could reverse the outcome if it occurred. The American military has always been cautious about it. It is considered bad form.

Obama certainly gave a phony speech.

[RKBA Democrat]

Exactly. “I’ll have my staff look at that and I’ll get back with you.”

On January 21st.

[JustaCowgirl]

President-elect Trump will get back to you, Mr. Obama, just as soon as he stops laughing and rolling on the floor.

[Right Wing Assault]

He’s trying to negotiate with Trump. That ought to go well. For Trump!

When Trump is done with him, obama will own the Brooklyn Bridge.

[Boardwalk]

Trump will pull the prayer rug out from under him!

[joshua c]

I am sorry but wasn’t his motto, “hope and change”?

Obama wins and elections have consequences.

Trump wins and everything must stay the same.

Obama is and always will be a lying sack.

Tuco: But if you miss you had better miss very well. Whoever double-crosses me and leaves me alive, he understands nothing about Tuco. Nothing!

Tuco: [thinking the cavalry they've met are Confederate] Hurrah! Hurrah for the Confederacy! HURRAH! Down with General Grant! Hurrah for General... what's his name? 
 
Tuco: There are two kinds of people in the world, my friend: Those with a rope around the neck, and the people who have the job of doing the cutting. 

 Tuco: When you have to shoot, shoot. Don't talk. Don't stand around trying to talk him to death. 
  

 Tuco: You never had a rope around your neck. Well, I'm going to tell you something. When that rope starts to pull tight, you can feel the Devil bite your ass. 

 Tuco: You talk first, I'll give you water later! Sad Hill Cemetery, okay, in the grave okay! But it must have a name or a number on it! There must be a thousand, five thousand!

 

Blondie: [taking the note] "Idiots".
[He hands the note back to Tuco]
Blondie: It's for you. 


Tuco: I never hurt anybody! 

Tuco: Oh, God, forgive me! It's my fault! [He beats the sides of his head in despair and frustration]   Mine, mine, mine, mine! I'll tell you one thing, Blondie. If I knew that my last hour had come, I swear, in my place... in your place I would do the same thing. I would tell about the gold. Yes, yes, I would. I would tell the name on the grave. What good is the money if you're dead? I know the name of the cemetery. But you know how many graves there are there? Please. Blondie, please. Have a little... coffee? Please, tell me the name. On... on the grave. If I get my hands on the 200,000 dollars, I'll always honor your memory. I swear, I'll always honor your memory.

[Sir Napsalot]

The “I Won” soon-to-be-ex-president is finding out his so-called legacy completely irrelevant in history.

[W.]

Ahhnold, in character: "Solly, remember when I said I would kill you last?"

Solly [Joe Pesci]: "Yeah?"

Ahhnold: "I lied." [Lets go of Solly's ankle, he drops down mountain to his death.]

[SoCalConservative]

Yes, elections have consequences. I’ll never forget that moment. Kick his half black ass to the curb.....HARD!

[Brooklyn Attitude]

Trump will tell him to go pick cotton.

[M Kehoe]

Yo Barry, wish in one hand, and poop in the other. Which hand fills fastest?

[RipSawyer]

Obama negotiating with Trump sounds like Tattoo trying to play basketball one on one with Michael Jordan.

[Original Lurker]

Don’t think for one second Trump doesn’t understand the potential for danger.
I can assure you he’s one step ahead.
He’s lived under threat conditions his entire life.

Trump has his own security *plus* he has secret service support the same level as Odunga’s.

[tank_sherman]

Trump also should say to Ryan, McConnell, Pelosi, Schumer and the rest of the Uni-Party Establishment: “I don’t think the PEOPLE will like what you’re proposing, but why don’t we ask them, just to be sure?”

He then uses his bully pulpit to make a speech to the American PEOPLE, in which he explains what the Establishment is proposing, why he’s against the idea, and asks the PEOPLE to contact their representatives, through a special hotline and email address he has set up, with the pledge that he will make sure that the PEOPLE’s responses are forwarded to the appropriate representative (after tallying by the new White House Plebecite Office).

That will scare the crap out of those smug, elitist bastards.

[kevinm13]

Not going to happen. 0bama’s legacy will be wiped out quickly once the executive orders are overturned and 0bamacare is repealed.

FUBO. You’re done. Get over it.
