President Barack Obama’s final weeks in office seem dedicated to setting foreign and domestic policy on fire to make life as difficult as possible on his successor, Donald Trump. Here are some of the biggest mousetraps Obama scattered across the White House floor on his way out: Betraying Israel at the United Nations: Obama’s refusal to block a United Nations vote against Israel, his administration’s shadowy machinations to bring that ugly motion to the floor, and Secretary of State John Kerry’s long-winded broadside against Israel will leave President Trump with a massive political crisis in the Middle East, and quite possibly a security crisis, if terror groups and their “political wings” are emboldened by the rebuke of Israel.
Obama’s Israel maneuver also damages American credibility, teaching would-be allies that the United States is not the best friend to have. America’s erstwhile battlefield allies in Syria can teach the same lesson, assuming any of them are left alive to take the podium. This comes at the very moment aspiring hegemons in China and Russia are showing their allies how Beijing and Moscow will go to the mat for them.
Obama’s team thinks it was clever to saddle Trump with an international edict the U.S. president cannot easily reverse. They might not have thought this all the way through, because some of the options that are available to Trump could leave internationalists, and Palestinian leaders, cursing Barack Obama’s memory.
Note that even some commentators friendly to Obama, and sources within the Obama Administration itself, have described the Israel vote as a deliberate act of sabotage aimed at Trump, because Obama is “alarmed” by some of Trump’s appointees.

Glad some of us are still on AD!
Transfer from ????? TAC.
I’m old. Like Lee Marvin Old.
I jump first.
There are many others out here way ahead of me that are not AD but right inside.
I’m new with this group. That’s all.
Enjoy this one.
Reagan was my CIC but for some reason I get to still participate.
This young lady will play for Trump.

He didn't say there were only seven; he just had to cut the list somewhere. There is plenty of room for sequels - his next three columns practically write themselves.
Far more than seven if obama’s history is any indicator.
once Soros is deported and/or eliminated, his sons need to be convicted under RICO, or something that would also take them out of the picture and stop all of this money flow to incite riots, place judges, etc.
Hope Trump can move in that direction.
With most of the executive branch packed with commies and Jihadists, and the courts equally packed, there’s no one left to do the escorting.
obama is responsible for hundreds of thousands of deaths — including many Christians.
I believe he is responsible for the deaths of more innocent people than osama bin laden.
Check his immigration papers. I bet there’s no mention of being a Nazi collaborator. Bingo, done. False information is grounds for stripping him of US citizenship. Deportation and freeze his assets.
Russia has a warrant for him, dead or alive. We can certainly honor an extradition request.
I believe that Zer0 is sucking up to the U.N. for one purpose: He wants to be head of the U.N. That way he can pursue his Marxist goals, using the U.N. organization as a weapon against America and the Western powers. I can see him getting nations convicted by the World Court and have huge fines extracted from them. Fighting litigation from the U.N. would be a constant endeavor by the Trump Administration.
Trump needs to form a commission to go after him and his despicables
“Did anyone expect this petulant piece of shit to do anything else on the way out?”
I half-expect that months into Trump’s 2017 inauguration, there could be a 9/11 II, and for the same reason there was a 9/11/2001. “By any means necessary” means exactly what it says and should not be ruled out. The incorrigible radical left wing is militant and they always have their contingency plan(s). However, I do hope that I am wrong.
I remember when people who said Obama would try to start a war so he could declare Martial Law, and use that excuse to stay in office were called 'crazy'. They don't seem so crazy anymore, eh ?

Isn't Soros wanted by Russia? Maybe PE Trump and Putin can sign an extradition treaty? Let him rot in Siberia!
Good point! Soros is a major problem for the Nation.
Probably already is, quietly behind the scenes.
