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

When I heard her speech and Obama’s invitation and comments on the transition, I knew right away they were up to no good and MoveOn just reinforced it. They all knew what was coming last night and I felt it before it happened.

This crap last night was all orchestrated by that cabal with its head being Soros.

"Obama will ask Trump to keep executive orders in place"

That would make Trump and accessory to a crime.

Barack Obama’s executive orders have been the executive orders from Hell. Why would a patriot keep them?

Absolutely.

Trumps response should be to "I'll treat your legacy the way you treated our constitution..."

Wasn’t Obama the one who said “I won” ?

Trump shouldn’t make promises on things he hasn’t reviewed carefully (or had someone he trusts review them). A businessman doesn’t sign up to open deals like that.

President elect Trump can just give Obama a dose of his own words: “Elections have consequences, I won!”

They should be the first on the list.

But wait, there is MORE!

In First 100 Days, Obama Flips Bush Admin's Policies

In his first 100 days in office, President Obama has demonstrated a clear departure from his predecessor. From relaxing marijuana enforcement laws to releasing torture memos, the new administration has moved rapidly to revoke and alter policies that marked the legacy of the Bush team.

Trump has no need to negotiate anything. No agreements. Just an assurance that he will give them full consideration and keep any elements that don’t violate his campaign promises.

Obamacare is dead ... but Trump has already said he’d support some safety net, pre-existing conditions, keeping child on parent’s plan, etc. But forcing people to buy insurance and dictating what procedures must be included in a plan and the whole “exchanges” structure is GONE.

The EO halting deportations flies in the face of his Law & Order promises and has got to go immediately.

Other EO’s like the land grabs I haven’t heard Trump talk about, but I hope those are all gone. I liked Trump’s plan about leasing or selling some public lands to private companies for oil/gas and other developments.

Mouth said one thing, while organizing MoveON to do another!

A strong active AG will take care of that!

“We all want what’s best for this country,” Mr. Obama said.

Headshake. Like everything uttered from his mouth this is a total absolute LIE! There is only 1 response to his nonsense. FUBO!
