Wall Street Journal: Transition From Barack Obama to Donald Trump Turns Tense
After warm start, White House changeover gets messy as agendas collide
President Barack Obama and his successor Donald Trump are making moves that tread on each other’s turf and complicate the other’s agenda, creating one of the messiest White House transitions in recent years.
Since Election Day, Mr. Obama has taken some of the most far-reaching actions of his eight-year presidency, leaving Mr. Trump to manage the fallout and narrowing his options once he takes office. He also plans a final major address the week before the inauguration that will reflect on his policy agenda, according to people familiar with the speech. The address could contrast his approach with Mr. Trump’s.
This week, Mr. Obama slapped Russia with a series of sanctions and diplomatic censures in response to a U.S. intelligence assessment that Moscow used cyberattacks to try to interfere with the presidential election. Earlier in December, Mr. Obama broke with decades of U.S. policy and let pass a United Nations resolution condemning Israel for building settlements.

WNU Editor: President-elect Trump ran on a platform where he vowed to undo President Obama's policies and direction .... so of course there is going to be blow-back from the Obama White House starting with President Obama himself. My prediction .... it is going to get even worse next week. I do not only expect the campaign to de-legitimise President-elect Trump via through allegations that Russia tried to help him win the election to continue, but there will be a concerted effort to block his appointments. It should also be noted that there are many Republicans who are unhappy with President-elect Trump .... and they are going to also make their opinions heard.

I agree. I think the strategy of removing 35 Russian individuals connected with the Russian government is nothing more than to give the incoming Trump administration a headache. Just goes to show how bitter the dems are over this.
But you have to admit, as far as entertainment value is concerned, this has been absolute gold, after all isn't that what everyone really wants, to be entertained....
Your highest aim in life is to be entertained?
Because Obama monkey ass
It is a Demoncrap to Republican transition. Of course it is messy and vindictive.
There was no transitioning from Clinton to Bush after the 200o election during the last 3 weeks of November.
No they were holding out and baring that they hope they were sticking it to GWB.
Then they stole the towels.
