It's Hard To Imagine

President Obama really is low.  He pretends to be helping with the transition, and then he does all he can to try to tie the hands of President Elect Trump.  Obama has issued environmental rules and regulations.  Obama has abandoned decades of US policy to try to take a stab and injure Israel.  Obama has put meaningless sanctions on Russia for things that happened at least six months ago; the Russian actions were no big deal until Hillary lost, and then the very same things became a major international incident in Obama's mind.  There's more, but let's just say that Obama has done all he can to impose an ideological leftist framework on future American policy.

The sad thing about all this is that none of it will make any lasting difference for anything except Obama's place in history.  After blowing most of his presidency, Obama has now blown the transition.  The vast bulk of Obama's actions can be undone by President Trump with the use of executive orders.  Much of the rest can be undone by Congress through passage of resolutions disapproving of Obama's actions.  These resolutions require only a simple majority in both houses (which are controlled by the GOP) and cannot be the subject of a filibuster.

What's the point of all this BS from Obama?  He's acting like a guest who turns on all the lights in the house in the hopes of running up the electric bill before he leaves.  It's a minor annoyance with no lasting effects.  Still it is incredibly rude and ill mannered.

Obama will be gone in three weeks.  Once again, let me say:  "Thank God!!!!!"
