Here's why Obama stays quiet as Trump attacks his legacy
CNN ^ | October 14, 2017 | Z. Byron Wolf

Washington (CNN)With each passing day, President Donald Trump unravels another piece of Barack Obama's legacy. The Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program. The Paris climate accords. The Iran nuclear deal. Transgender people serving in the military. And, now, that most personal of policies for the former president: The Affordable Care Act. And yet Obama watches from the sidelines, mostly silent, as Trump punches holes in the dry wall of his freshly finished legacy.

‘There’s only one story in the MSM these days: Trump is bad.’

That’s true. This CNN whine was not too bad, though, because the whiners so clearly understood their utter impotence. Here is Trump bulldozing Obama’s legacy, and all CNN can do is wring its hands over the pointlessness of it all. They didn’t even defend the legacy. They just listed the items, as if their innate goodness speaks for itself.

The frustration was palpable.

That’s about right.

Obama stays quiet because he shipped BILLION$ to Iran and I would bet anything his skim is enough to shut him up.

HA! I was thinking the same thing - poorly written article, but have better things to do than read it twice.

The Kenyan was complicit in Hill’s email crimes, F & F, Benghazi coverup, etc. All he has to do is piss off Trump on the wrong day, and the President could ruin Obe’s world forever.

Legacy? Legacy?
Those of us with the ability to think call it a trail of excrement.
Hey CNN, got anyone there with a real education along with the ability to use it?

Trump is slowly but surely slapping the fight out of at least some of them. They’ve been attacking him nonstop since he defeated Hillary, and it’s dawning on at least the more astute that they have nothing to show for it. Trump is still dismantling Obama’s legacy at a brisk pace; nothing even slows him down.

The misery at CNN must be suffocating.

[ Obama counts himself Lucy .

That explains a lot, actually. ]

Obama certainly counts Michelle as “Michael”.

Must be fun being around those two weirdos. Seems like some sort of “old time” ....

or perhaps proclaim himself to be the wurst president (period) It’s the making of him that will forever remain a mystery.

Knows that Trump has the goods to throw him in prison and if he doesn’t keep quiet it will happen?

As long as republicans are too weak willed to repeal the ACA (Obamacare) it will still be there, still be Obama’s legacy, and waiting for democrats to resurrect it the next time they are in power.

In the long run it doesn’t matter how many improvements President Trump makes by Executive Order.
They will be quickly be undone by the next democrat to hold the presidency.

Obamacare must be repealed while republicans still hold the Senate, the House and the presidency or America will forever be shackled to “Obamacare” as Obama’s legacy.

Obama’s unconstitutional law making with his pen and phone can’t be defended.
