Obama Uses Final Weeks To Aggressively "Box In" Trump's Administration

Not liking the outcome of the 2016 election, President Obama has apparently made the decision to use his final days in office to do everything possible to "box in" and undermine President-elect Trump. The latest actions, of course, revolve around sanctions on several Russian entities and the expulsion of 35 Russian diplomats for "hacking" the election. Unfortunately, that move seemingly backfired this morning when Putin announced that he "will not sink to the level of [Obama's] 'kitchen' diplomacy"...apparently "when the Obama's go low, Putin goes high"...to paraphrase the First Lady (see "Putin Stunner: 'We Will Not Expel Anyone; We Refuse To Sink To Obama's Level'").

Meanwhile, the reckless parting moves against Russian aren't the only unilateral actions Obama has made in his waning days to undermine the incoming Trump administration. He also allowed the UN Security Council to condemn Israeli settlement activity, permanently banned oil and gas drilling large swaths of the Atlantic and Arctic oceans, closed off 1.6 million acres of Western land to development through the creation of new "national monument" and scrapped the last vestiges of a registration system used largely on Muslim immigrants.

We wonder how long America's liberal snowflakes would spend rioting if similarly aggressive, hostile actions were taken by an outgoing Republican President?

Clearly, the unilateral moves and shear contempt for the will of the American people being displayed by the current administration is not sitting well with President-elect Trump.

Doing my best to disregard the many inflammatory President O statements and roadblocks.Thought it was going to be a smooth transition - NOT!

Trump has a smart team and majority in the Senate and Congress to back him in undoing a lot of these anti-American displays of aggressive, retaliatory actions. Obama and the Dems are immature, sore losers and there's no doubt they're working together to make life difficult for Trump and Republicans for the next four years. It's all a part of their hoping for failure by Republicans so they can win back the WH and Congress in 2020.

They still have 20 more days to wreak their havock and I think they are working as hard as they can to mess up a lot more things for our new President Donald Trump. Thank God we control both branches of congress.

Trump needs to work with his administration to find a way to get Obama arrested. Get the goods on him, we all know he is a fraud!

Voted for Trump but I wish he had never made the statement saying that Obama was "a good man".

since the gop dominates the congress, I can't see where there'd be much of a problem in reversing his "pen".
