No matter what you think of Obama, I venture a guess he was proud to be the President of the USA, and as many currently feel Trump may not "fit the mold". But like the protestors, way too many knee-jerk reactions and comments when Trump hasn't even taken the oath yet.

Oh please... at this point I expect that if Obama's mouth is moving he's lying.

What little legacy he had is going to be shattered. Worst president ever!

That's what Ford did when pardoning Nixon. There is thought that doing so cost him the election against Carter.

No appeal, a Presidential pardon is pretty much absolute.

The thing is... in reality the Clinton's and Obama's hate each other. If he gives her a blanket pardon he is basically admitting he knew she did some nasty things. I'm not all that sure he wouldn't mind hanging her out to dry on this one.

ALSO, I do not believe he can give them a pardon if they are charged with racketeering and tyranny. Last time I check it is tyranny (and possibly treason) to trade favors for money from foreign entities.

He says the Democrats will oppose Trump, and I'm sure that's true.
But it will make no difference, since Obama had to turn over his pen and his telephone to someone who does not value his opinion.
Obama vows to fight Trump to keep regulations in place

Tell that idiot to shut up and go away. The guy is such an insufferable narcissist. I can't wait till his stupid arse exits the White House.
