Obama Will Stop Trump Even After He Leaves Whitehouse
- President-elect Trump has vowed to repeal and replace ObamaCare, while canceling “every unconstitutional executive action, memorandum and order issued by President Obama.”
- Plus, he said even if the Trump administration rolls back 15-20 percent of his work, they’re still “80 percent” ahead.
A “fired up” President Obama vowed Monday that Donald Trump will find it’s not so “easy” to roll back his myriad regulatory policies, previewing a long fight ahead between his allies and majority Republicans taking control next year.
President-elect Trump has vowed to repeal and replace ObamaCare, while canceling “every unconstitutional executive action, memorandum and order issued by President Obama.”
Trump also pledges to sharply increase oil and gas drilling on federal lands while opening up offshore drilling in the Atlantic Ocean and other areas where it is blocked. Further, he wants to repeal the Clean Power Plan, Obama's signature effort to limit carbon pollution from coal-fired power plants. The plan — the linchpin of Obama's strategy to fight global warming — is currently on hold awaiting a court ruling.
It is all but assured that Trump, together with the Republican-controlled Congress, will try anew next year to repeal or significantly change ObamaCare, formally known as the Affordable Care Act.
But in a conference call with Democrats Monday, Obama warned that unraveling his policies is “not as easy” as some say. Plus, he said even if the Trump administration rolls back 15-20 percent of his work, they’re still “80 percent” ahead.
The outgoing president did not specify what his post-presidency role will be, but hinted he’d be involved and said he’d be “working shoulder to shoulder” with Democrats for “many years.”
Obama said he’d be in a position to make the case for why policies like ObamaCare should be preserved and said, “I’m still fired up,” referencing his 2008 campaign catch phrase.
In an earlier White House press conference before he left the country for his final overseas trip as president, Obama specifically addressed Republican plans to upend ObamaCare.
“Now that Republicans are in charge, they got to take a look and say, let's see. We got 20 million people who have health insurance who didn't have it before,” he said. “Health care costs generally have gone up at a significantly slower rate since ObamaCare was passed than they did before, which has saved the federal Treasury hundreds of billions of dollars.”
Some Democrats, though, have acknowledged a need to at least change the system to address rapidly rising premiums and other issues.
Trump has indicated a willingness to keep certain elements of the law in place.

His potential picks for key positions, meanwhile, signal big changes ahead for environmental and energy policies.
Those under consideration for energy secretary include Harold Hamm, an Oklahoma oil tycoon and leading proponent of fracking, and North Dakota Rep. Kevin Cramer, an early Trump supporter from a major oil drilling state, according to transition planning documents obtained by The Associated Press.
Venture capitalist Robert Grady, who worked in President George H.W. Bush's administration, is listed as a contender to lead both the Energy and Interior departments.
It's unclear whether the list is exhaustive or has been reviewed by Trump. The Republican is in the early stages of setting up his administration.
A coalition of conservative states has challenged both the Clean Power Plan and a controversial water rule, which expanded the definition of waters protected under the Clean Water Act to smaller non-navigable waters and seasonal tributaries.
The administration says the rule would safeguard drinking water for 117 million people, but Republicans and some Democrats representing rural areas say the regulations are costly, confusing and amount to a government power grab. Federal courts have put the rules on hold as judges review lawsuits.

Obama is moron, says he will effect democrat party for years to come. Dose this stupid not realize he will not be POTUS for years to come. We have had enough of him and his communist ideals, why don`t he just give it a rest and go back to the jungle where he belongs.
President Trump is to much of a man for Obama to take on
The weakness of the Democratic party and rejection of his policies will be ignored by the positive directions and success of the new administration.
BECAUSE HE IS NOT IN CHARGE ANYMORE THANK GOD
I think a sleeping giant has awaken in our country. The people have had enough and will work with our new president to make America Great Again.
I believe he may attempt to stop Trump, but I also feel he is losing ‘power’ among many now that he has to leave
Obama is despicable. Obama has done everything in his power to try and destroy the Christians in America. While ISIS is killing Christians over in Syria and Iraq Obama instead is bringing in muslims who will do everything in their power to not pay taxes while stealing everything they possibly can from the American people. He knows that because that is exactly what this muslim president has done to America.
I believe Obama has always been a puppet of the shadow government ala George Soros. I have always felt that Obama was impotent in government. Obama may be a thorn in Trump’s side but I don’t believe he has the power to impede Trump’s progress. I only hope that Trump is able to accomplish what he has said he would accomplish. Thank You.
Trump will do what is best for America vs what is best for government.
community organizer career
Trump is a much smarter and stronger person than Obama..Trumps believes in a strong America and Trump believes in the American People and thinks they should come first. Obama does not care about us.
Obama is history and the balance in the House and Senate favor the incoming President. Maybe they will actually begin to listen to the people who voted?
Obama is so anti-American and most folks know it. His background of the past 8 years are proof that he has no desire to see America survive. The race card is dead. The only thing that my throw a wrench into the works is martial law.
Because it is not his choice it is We the People have vote Trump in as President.
trump has to have put this ( MUSLIM RECTUM)
under investigation wont have to go far for all the things he has done while in office to put him away for along time. he should have been impeached long ago and serving time now?????? we have to many ass/hoooo in the house and senate that would not do it. some of them should be serving time right now but they take care of one another. few names that should be investigated would be found guilty as charged. Harry Ried, Nancy Pelosi Loretta Lynch, Maxin Waters Charlie Rangel Sharpton Chuck Shummer//// Excuse My Spelling I Can Go ON And On. A heck of a lot more. They should all be investigated for using there elected offices for there (OWN PERSONNEL USE AND GAIN) Instead of what it was intended for all became millionares on government wages????? BULL/SSSSS. THANKS
Most of what Obama has done has been more negative than positive. the Washington establishment has refused to stop him. I believe Trump has the right idea and fortitude to make the necessary changes.
Obama arrogantly thinks he will still have piwers after he leaves, negative! He may bee too busy testifying in hillary crimes.
HE IS A POOR LOSER(OBAMA). tO MUCH HAS BEEN DONE DURING HIS TERMS TO DESTROY AMERICA.
Because Trump and his goals are mostly correct.
America, under Obamacare and the Left have taken the USA in the wrong direction for the past 8 years and each time they have held the power in WDC.
The immigration desires of the Democrats and Obama/Clinton are strictly to gain power by buying the Vote with immigration forces, making all others vote overridden by mass numbers, killing our American right of the vote making our votes not count.
All so Trump will protect our Supreme Court of balance and our US Consitution including our Second Amendment right as written.
Much more, too much to write in this email.
America first!
Go Trump…….Go America!
THE MANNER IN WHICH YOUR QUESTION IS PRESENTED IS A LITTLE CONFUSING SINCE IT CAN ACTUALLY BE ANSWERED BOTH AGREE AND DISAGREE. FIRST OF ALL YES I AGREE THAT OBAMA WILL TRY TO STOP TRUMP EVEN AFTER HE LEAVES OFFICE, I DO NOT AGREE THAT HE HIS ATTEMPTS WILL BE SUCCESSFUL. if OBAMA THINKS THAT HE IS GOING TO PUSH TRUMP AROUND, I WOULD SUGGEST HE THINK AGAIN, TRUMP HAS SHOWN THE AMERICAN PEOPLE THAT HE DOES NOT MIND STRPPING UP TO A FIGHT, OBAMA HAS SHOWN THE AMERICAN PEOPLE HE DOES NOT HAVE THE BACKBONE TO STEP INTO EVEN THE SLIGHTEST ARGUEMENT. IF OBAMA TRIES TO INTERFERE IN TRUMPS ADMINISTRATION, I THINK OBAMA WILL FINALLY UNDERSTAND WHAT IT MEANS TO CROSS A RED LINE IN THE SAND. TO KEEP IT SHORT, LETS JUST CALL IT THE BATTLE BETWEEN POWER AND PANSY !
Obama might try, but he does not realize his remaining “power” is limited. Anything he tries will be vetoed by Pres. Trump, thank goodness.
Trump is a big time switch out a big time lier want pay his taxes com on man 18 yrs of not paying ur taxes ur cheating the sysyem if the was me ill be lock up
Because we have LAWS. Soros has been conniving to undermine President-elect Trump from day one and is still working on it (probably with obama & clintons, dnc) but LAWS are in place to protect him from them.
I thought Obama was going to spend his time campaigning for “Emperor of the World!” How will he find time to battle Trump?
We the people have spoken for Trump and will not allow Obama to cheat him out of the Presidential office
The Most High Elohim is on Trumps side!
Because if God has raised him up No weapon form against Him shall prosper!
GEORGE SORO’S CAN GO TO RUSSIA THEY WANT HIM , AND YES HE IS A THREAT TO AMERICA, SAME AS OBAMA, HILLARY, PELOSI ,
IT CONCERNS ME HOW STUPID OUR GOVERNMENT OFFICIALS ARE LETTING THESES CRIMINALS STILL DISTROYING THE AMERICAN CONSTITUTION. IT IS PERFECTLY CLEAR OBAMA IS A HIGH RISK AGAINST AMERICA AND THE AMERICAN PEOPLE SAME AS HILLARY PELOSI, , AND MANY MORE… SAME AS OBAMA’S FAMILY WHICH IS A DISGRACE TO THE AMERICA, , NO DOUBT ABOUT IT. .THEY NEED TO BE IN JAIL NOT RUNNING ANYTHING, AS THE UNFIT THEY ARE..
TRUMP NEEDS TO DRAIN THE SWAMP, ,
AND NEEDS OUR MILITARY SUPPORTS ALL FORCES TO REMOVE OBAMA, , ONCE IN FOR ALL ,, OBAMA’S ACTIONS AGAINST THE CONSTITUTION SHOWS HE IS UNFIT FOR ALL ANY GOVERNMENT OFFICES DUTIES IN THE USA….PENTAGON SHOULD HAVE CHARGE HILLARY LEAKING GOVERNMENT INFORMATION DURING DEBATE AND MOST LIKELY OTHER CASES,NO DOUBT. …UNFIT CRIMINAL TO BE REMOVED FROM ALL DUTIES AND POWER IMMEDIATELY RESTRAINED IMPEACHMENT FOR OBAMA, ,, HELL YES,,,
Obama and Clinton are COMMUNISTS who studied under the Salinsky docturne They re DESTROYING OUR GREAT COUNTRY !! BOTH should be in PRISON !!
He will not stop because he is a vindictive little man who doesn’t like to loose. He will have no legacy once president elect Trump gets thru with all the damage he has done to this country. And when things start turning around for the better he’s really going balistic. In the meantime he will be a cog in the wheel.
He will just be another muslim with no power.
One comment for Obama, from Don, who cannot form a sentance, spell, or devise a thought that is clear.
How ever Donald Trump who did not even have to seek the Presidency took on this challenge to make our country what it used to be.
Don is upset about Trump not paying taxes. He did pay taxes. But because of the tax laws he was able to not have to pay as much. Actually everyone could get same treatment if they have to proper deductions for that type of tax. Trump did that. Now the Democrats want to make it sound like Trump broke the law.
What law did he break? Which one of you brilliant people know that?
Most of you listened to the crap and believe it is the truth. You even talk about it like you know what you are talking about, but really don’t know.
Well now we have a lot of work to do to fix all the problems.
Trump want a great America. That’s why he got in this and that is why he won.
I am very happy that he did.
I agree because Obama thinks he”s a dictator or a king ! He will do whatever he can to discredit PRESIDENT TRUMP !! The best thing our President Trump can do is keep his distance from Obama and be the MAM he is and take that stand and be DONALD TRUMP the MAN we elected ! Not Obama’s underling . GO PRESIDENT TRUMP !
MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN !!
President elect Trump can see through Obama even though the media will still be in every liberal’s corner.
Donald was chosen by God
Once Obama is gone he has no say in what goes on. If Trump is smart he will have Obama investigated for obstruction of justice and treason
How can Obama even claim to be a president he has not been in the white house to be one he has been to busy using the tax payers money traveling the world . WIth all traveling and campaigning for Hillary he has not done his job so therefore he has not done is job AND HE SHOULD NOT GET PAID FOR THE YEAR. HES OFF ON ANOTHER PLEASURE TRIP THAT TAX PAYERS ARE PAYING FOR, Enough is enough he needs to e kicked out right now . Before he runs up another trillion for us to pay for. He has managed to make most of the world hate us , He needs to e stopped from taking any more trips unless pays his own way And hires his own body guards
Fuck The Pussy Mother Fu*King Por** Monk** ! ! ! ! ! !
Without the help of the Legislative Branch, Obama will have little to no power or authority to stop Donald Trump from signing Executive Orders, just like Obama did to initiate his programs, cancelling all of Obama’s illegal Executive Order Mandates.
God is tired of his wicked Muslim murdering socialite liberal athiest ways! We the people are tired of watching a tyrant getting away with evil, and killing us one by one!! He better be worried about Almighty God,with what that man has done!!! Especially messing with Israel!! We are one Nation under God,not Quran,not Obama, not Hillary,and definitely not all the division,hatred, and most definitely taking our rights as an American !!!
He’ll try like hell, but team Trump knows what to expect from the snakes, Schumer, Obama> Jarrett ….
Obama don’t have enough money to fight Trump. He is the peoples choice.
None of his policies have done any good
When the new attorney general starts digging in to the corruption, Trump will have the power to make Obama leave quietly or face prosecution for his crimes.
Obama should have been impeached. President Elect Trump fought the Far right Republicans, the Democrats, The Clinton machine, the entire Obaman administration and the media to win the election He is a fighter and has won support of his party, the Presidency, the House and Senate. Obama and Sores will continue the fight, but the Republican party now has the power. Hopefully they can prevent terrorism in American because Obama has infested the US.
who ccare after he is gone sooo looong
No one trusted Hilary & no one trust Obama because he and Hillary where to BUDDY BUDDY , other wise why would he (WASTE TAX PAYER MONEY TO FLY HER AROUND ON “” AIR FORCE 1″”) they are up to NO GOOD and the PEOPLE SAW THIS BEFORE they VOTED !!!!!!!…..
Don I can see you have never read or studied the tax code. Never read or studied the IRM {Internal Revenue Manual}.or any of the titles relating to taxes. Or anything else relating to this countries structure. just another
one to blindly follow the pack.
obama will be nothing but a washed up nigger out of work
obam is still mad at trump, he stoped him from takeing over the U.N. and the world in the next six..mounths. but he won’t stop he is one evel animal.
He does not have the stones never has.
This person is another one that should be on his way to Gitmo for he knew what Hillary has been doing. He needs to leave office and get a damn job. Also, leave the new President alone. Oh and by the way, he is not our black president. He is half black, to clarify all of you who wont admit this. Thank you. Wake Up America
Go Trump! Obama has done everything he could to bring America down – still not out of office and pray martial law or other corruption is not on O’s plate. The RINO’s (Demoncat socialists in Republican ranks) and Democrats (mostly socialists, if not all) have done tremendous destruction to America- free passing Obama’s illegal actions – in the endeavor to push Bush’s, Clinton’s, and Obama’s New World Order on us. If chaos and martial law is put into place before Trump innaugerated, the terrorists that Obama has so freely pulled in amidst Muslim Immigrants (for crying out loud – UNVETTED/NO BACKGROUND SEARCH) and the UN PEACEKEEPING FORCE (an army that Obama put into place to empower UN to take military action in so called “peace Keeping” — look at or read “THINGS TO COME” by HG Wells -a movie in the 19360’s and look at the new UN Peacekeeping Force) the Force would be pulled in to the USA to “ASSIST” in case of crisis as Obama plans and has said ‘should crisis’ come – the NWO Strategy. If this sounds far fetched look it up and also see the movie. As if that is not wild enough, we had a southern general named Albert Pike that told the plans of the globalist Illuminatti. Look up the ‘three world wars Albert Pike’. He did not prophecy the future 3 world wars, he laid out the plans and strategy of the New World Order and how Lucifer “the true god” would win over Christianity. The man was evil and deceived. Still if you read what he said and look at today you should pray against the plans to take over not just America and the world and “Occupy (give up no territory or rights) until Jesus comes” as Jesus said about these times. Oh, a man of perdition will have control over most of the earth but not until the followers of Jesus meet Jesus in the air. “Except those days be shortened even the very elect of God would be deceived” Jesus warned. One verse of King James version was clear in the former Bibles but misinterpreted there. “Except there come a great falling away the man of perdition can not be revealed (as the world leader)” The greek word Harpazo means departure or catching away. Proper translation is “except there comes a departure/catching away then the man of perdition can not be revealed”. All newer translations emulate the error in the KJV. Sill KJV is an excellent Bible. The new term ‘rapture’ means catching away or departure. In other words, until God removes those close to Him, trusting Him and wanting to do right before God, and withdraws His Holy Spirit (no longer intervening on earth though all exists in Him -nature totally on its own as in Revelation’s earth catastrophes) the man of perdition can not step to the position of ruler of the world and false christ..Later Jesus and the saints who were dead and those who met Him in the clouds will return to earth with Jesus (in cloud meeting not Jesus return) to rule and reign with Jesus as God over the earth finally.
