White House hopes Obama will convince Trump on issues |
2016-11-10 |
[AA.TR] President Barack ObamaI mean, I do think at a certain point you've made enough money... will try to convince President-elect Donald Trump about his key policies, the White House said Wednesday. Following the stuffing defeat of former Secretary ![]() ... sometimes described as America's Blond Eminenceand at other times as Mrs. Bill, never as Another Bainbridge Colby... by Trump, the hot topic in Washington is now the fate of Obama’s legacy. Trump has vowed to undo many of the achievements of the B.O. regime. "There is a tradition, particularly with regard to executive agreements of successive presidents preserving some element of continuity. I don't know whether or not that will apply in this case," White House front man Josh Earnest said. "President B.O. will have an opportunity to talk to President-elect Trump about some of these policies about some of the benefits of these policies," he added. He said the B.O. regime will live up to its commitments under foreign deals up until Jan. 20 when Trump takes office. Trump has said he would renegotiate the Iran nuclear deal a as well as the free trade Trans-pacific Trade Partnership, or TPP, which was inked with 12 Pacific rim countries, because he believes they were "badly negotiated". Earnest tried to defend Obama’s criticism of Trump when he referred to him as being unfit for president and even a threat to country’s national security. "The president had used forceful language in helping people understand exactly why he was so passionate in his support for Secretary Clinton," Earnest said. "Now the responsibility that President B.O. has is to turn his attention to prioritizing a smooth transition with his successor and ensuring a peaceful transition of power." |

#18 Don't know if this is possible, but Trump should sign an EO declaring all EOs of the previous eight years inoperable. Then, he can have staff pick through the stack at leisure and see if there any worth reviving. If anyone squawks, just remind them that America has been fundamentally transformed. |

#17 I expect Obama at this point will sign a bunch of executive orders that make him a hero to the left and which can be held against Trump when he reverses them. A minefield of sorts. I think Bill Clinton did something like that with top loading washers and lead in water daring W. to reverse them and look bad. |

#15 Yes indeed, there are a lot of presidential traditions. But the way this president has been behaving I don't think he deserves it. |

#13 The funnest part is all the executive orders Obama gleefully signed can just as easily be undone. |

#12 that'd be a good thing. You telling me - Israeli press is full of speculations about O's parthian shot at us. |

#9 This may be interesting. O believes he's the commensurate negotiator, but he's only had experience with sycophants. Trump on the other hand..... |

#7 Obumble is just afraid that Trump will actually do what he promised and take away all his toys he has forced the rest of us to play with. |

#6 I suspect most the conversation today will be about obama's golf game and trump's golf courses. "Behave, and you'll have lifetime membership at all my courses, with complimentary stays at my hotels for your golf buddies. Make things hard for me, and you won't play anywhere -- you know how many friends a president can have when he looks for them." |
