Captain “I’ve got a pen and I’ve got a phone” just advised Trump not to use his pen and his phone:
FOX NEWS – President Obama has some advice for President-elect Donald Trump: Do as I say, not as I do.
The outgoing president, in an interview with NPR, urged his successor to pursue policy changes through Congress and not via executive order.
“Going through the legislative process is always better in part because it’s harder to undo,” Obama said.
If Trump were to pursue his own executive actions, Obama said his successor would be “entirely within his lawful power to do so.” Further, Obama suggested Trump would be within his right to review and reverse his administration’s actions.
“If he wants to reverse some of those rules, that’s part of the democratic process. That’s … why I tell people to vote — because it turns out elections mean something,” Obama said.
Well he is right that executive orders are easier to undo. But Obama’s problem was the he’s a radical leftist who refused to work with Congress unless they gave him everything he wanted. It was always his way or the highway. For him, compromise didn’t actually mean compromise, it meant complete victory.
He really should have given himself this advice back in 2008. What a moron.
