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

Tradition? Since when does 0dungheap uphold traditions? How many speeches did he ever deliver from the Oval Office? How many times did he cram Islam down our throats on the National day of prayer or at Easter or Christmas?

Trump will consult with previous administration WH insiders so tradition can be returned to the White House!

BTW, Hillary globalist supporters.. YOU LOST. Get over it or GET OUT OF THE WAY.

“’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 thought that the left despised tradition.

“That’s a nice ‘transition’ we’ve got for you here. Would be a shame if something were to happen to it.”

“Actually, wasn’t it TCruz who promised to remove all the Obama executive orders?”

I think Newt started that when he was running for President.

Trump should respond by saying “That’s a good one, didn’t realize you had such a good sense of humor.”

“... successive presidents preserving some element of continuity ...”

Great! DJT plans on using the oval office - sounds like continuity to me.

Exactly.

>>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

Liberals only respect “tradition” when it suits them.

I’d revoke every single EO just on principle. If there happens to be any worth keeping, I’d re-issue them at a later time.

Honor is only for those who deserve it. There is no honor due to 0vomit.

p.s. Maybe 0vomit’s main topic of conversation is keeping the BC secret. I’d out him on that, too.
