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

Reagan used a weed whacker on Carter’s EO’s.
fubo the nerve
FOBO!
Trump should tell Obama he will find out when he reads about it in the paper, like everyone else.
"Keep your Executive Orders in place? GO POUND SAND."
I can see Obama doing the same thing the Clintons did to GWB, by doing a spiteful and immature thing like removing all the letter “T”’s from keyboards to insult Trump.
yes he did.
It will come down to who has the most leverage.
Congress has the emails.
The DOJ will see change at all levels.
We don’t know what other communications were hacked or what government records zer0 & crew think are destroyed, but are really not.
Trump can take zer0’s wishes under advisement and once installed, do what he wants. zer0 once warned Congress he was all that stood between them and the pitchforks. Trump needs to make clear that zer0 controls his own legacy. He can continue to incite via 3rd party agitators or more damaging evidence will be released.
zer0 is the one who needs a deal. Trump knows that and, really, so does zer0. And so does Hillary. It’s a stand off: astro-turf versus verifiable, actionable evidence.
Now, we need to pressure the drive-bys. Cut the cord. Avoid giving hits to their sites. Publish whatever truth we have. The progs have no idea what their idols have done. They refuse to read, listen or watch anything they disagree with.
We need some way into their consciousness.
While on the steps of the Capitol, immediately after being sworn, an aid will hand President Trump a clipboard with a document to be signed.
There in the presence of God and everybody, Trump will sign the executive order ending all the executive orders of the Obama administration. Short, simple action.
Those marked with an * can be reviewed and reordered or modofied.
Trump should tell him, “you’re lucky I don’t have you investigated, with an eye towards prosecution along with Clinton.”
Trump is a businessman and he will run this country as the business it is. People will learn that as time goes on. Right now, they are afraid of change. “The devil you know...” kinda thing.
-— negotiate -—
never whine, it’s a sign of weakness
Trump should just say “ everything will be under review”.
Then just stare at Obama as he tries to strong arm Trump.
Should be amusing. Community organizer vs successful businessman.
He should remove all of them and then propose a law to severely limit executive orders. If these EOs were so important they can pass congress quickly...
winner
Yes, maybe in his first meeting with BO he can get Barry to commit for Soros to pay for the wall. I suspect a lot of drug money will pay for that wall. May as well, get that on the table early. Oh the joy it will be watching the DEA take orders in a Trump Administration.
