McClatchy News: Obama is rushing to Trump-proof the White House
WASHINGTON : Since Election Day, President Barack Obama has appointed 56 people to boards, commissions and offices in the hopes that they remain in those posts for years to come.
He has reduced the prison sentences of 79 federal inmates. He has handed out the nation’s highest civilian honor to 21 people who he said personally made an impact on his life.
And he has churned out rules, regulations and policies several times a week.
Obama is trying to put the people and policies in place that he wants to outlast his presidency in the final weeks before Donald Trump takes over. And his supporters want more, way more.
Every president tries to push through last-minute policies before their time in office comes to a close. But this year has a more frantic feel as special interest groups push Obama to do more, not just because the president-elect is of a different party but because few people know what he will do.

WNU Editor: President Obama is President until January 20, 2017 .... so he can make any appointments and impose any rules/regulations/policies if he wants. But the election of Donald Trump has resulted in many groups pressing the panic button in the hope that President Obama will accommodate their wishes .... and I will not be surprised if he will try to do just that.

Everyone knows everything
I have no word to say how much it is stupid. What Obama did, Trump can undo it. And I would advice Trump to undo it quickly: the people who are recently named are probably on critical position to hide bad things Obama did and cannot erase.
Obama is showing his true colors.
He is a G-D Leftist.
Big wow
We want marshal. Law
