White House hopes Obama will convince Trump on issues
[AA.TR] President Barack ObamaI mean, I do think at a certain point you've made enough money... will try to convince President-elect Donald Trump about his key policies, the White House said Wednesday. Following the stuffing defeat of former Secretary  Hillary Clinton... sometimes described as America's Blond Eminenceand at other times as Mrs. Bill, never as Another Bainbridge Colby... by Trump, the hot topic in Washington is now the fate of Obama’s legacy. Trump has vowed to undo many of the achievements of the B.O. regime. "There is a tradition, particularly with regard to executive agreements of successive presidents preserving some element of continuity. I don't know whether or not that will apply in this case," White House front man Josh Earnest said. "President B.O. will have an opportunity to talk to President-elect Trump about some of these policies about some of the benefits of these policies," he added. He said the B.O. regime will live up to its commitments under foreign deals up until Jan. 20 when Trump takes office. Trump has said he would renegotiate the Iran nuclear deal a as well as the free trade Trans-pacific Trade Partnership, or TPP, which was inked with 12 Pacific rim countries, because he believes they were "badly negotiated". Earnest tried to defend Obama’s criticism of Trump when he referred to him as being unfit for president and even a threat to country’s national security. "The president had used forceful language in helping people understand exactly why he was so passionate in his support for Secretary Clinton," Earnest said. "Now the responsibility that President B.O. has is to turn his attention to prioritizing a smooth transition with his successor and ensuring a peaceful transition of power."
