A graceless exit

In November, after Donald Trump won the election, President Barack Obama met the president-elect in the Oval Office and told him: “If you succeed, then the country succeeds.”

What a bunch of hooey.

Since the Nov. 8 results, Mr. Obama has taken a blow torch to the Oval Office, ensuring through his last minute executive actions and agency rulings, that Mr. Trump will have anything but a smooth transition into office.

Mr. Obama — looking to protect his legacy — has unilaterally made several moves to undermine and undercut Mr. Trump’s ability to deliver on his campaign promises. Succeed, is something Mr. Obama definitely doesn’t want Mr. Trump to do.

Last week, Mr. Obama decided to wave his middle finger at Israel — our closest ally in the Middle East — by having the U.S. abstain from a United Nations vote which said Israel was in violation of international law by allowing Jewish settlements anywhere in the West Bank, including Jerusalem. Mr. Trump has vowed to move the U.S. Embassy to Jerusalem.

In regards to Russia, Mr. Obama sanctioned it for its meddling in the U.S. election, with the mind-set to make the sanctions as difficult as possible for Mr. Trump to roll back. It’s unlikely any punishment will be delivered in Mr. Obama’s term — it’s something Mr. Trump will inherit..

Look Obama came in with no class so he is going out with no class. What whould one think a liberal butt hurt would do. Truth is Obama is irrelevant. Trump will sit back for the next 20 days knowing he will Make America GREAT again. TRUMP 2017!!!

This is a simple read, the first sentence says it all, loud and clear.
“If you succeed, then the country succeeds.”
That is why the failed leader wants Mr.Trump not to succeed, the failure doesn't want the country to succeed. We have watched this for eight years and very obvious he has hatred for our country and I still can't imagine voters elected this clown to office the first round, and even watching him try to destroy this country they voted for the loser twice. Damn...how dumb and stupid are the nondeplorables?

This is what the liberals are about. They WANT Trump to fail. They will do everything in their power to make it happen. Remember that everyone. Liberals are out to doom us. Don't stop fighting now. There are many more that have to go.

I am still in awl and fascinated that the people who are supposedly educated and believe in transparent democracy believes everything Obama says. They are not intelligent enough to have figured out the simple analysis of Obama's words are directly opposite of what his actions are going to be.
So the only ones surprised is a progressive liberal. Not me, I recognized this con-artist in 2007
