Simply because, and for no other reason, than Obama did it.
Nothing else... No other consideration... Not because it's the right thing to do... And without any idea what consequences would be borne from any such reversals.
No other President of the United States, in this history of this country, has ever gone to the depths of trying to erase everything his predecessor had ever accomplished.
Think about that for a second. There had always been some change of direction from administration-to-admininistration, some of it major, but most of it superficial. But very little of that was ever out of the same kind of petty spite that Trump is apparently obsessed with, against all things waxed Obama.
And the worst part of this is that he doesn't even care what harm he's causing. He's not listening to anyone for advice, except Fox And Friends and he's taking all criticism of his policies as personal affronts and instigations for retaliation. He's setting up the nation for a huge fall and all he's going to do is blame the victims for the harm he's causing them. He'll blame the very people who warned him not to do those things. He'll blame Obama, even though he's gone out of his way to reverse Obama's previous actions. He'll blame everyone in the world, including those of his own party, everyone that is, except himself and his pal, VladiMort Pooty-Poot.
He is THE Unaccountable Man. The man who's allowed to take bad presidentin' to such heretofore unfathomable lows that he's become the WORST worst president ever. Doesn't anyone understand that he can be STOPPED? Like right now! Our Constitution has provisions to stop this miasma of incompetence, corruption and malfeasance from choking the very breath of the body politic.
But the GOPrs are never going to do their jobs.
So, until he's carried out of the White House on a rail and tarred and feathered hopefully (They sure knew how to take care of low-down reprobates like Trump in den olden days), expect it all to get nothing more than worse.
Anyway, as always, FDT and may our deities of choice have mercy on all our collective non-corporeal internal essences.

(22,755 posts)this is the premise of the post and the most important point right now! Bottom line... this is about Obama, I have known this for years and nobody has reason to believe otherwise... Trump's hate is vile and very destructive

(7,641 posts)that when the fascists took over Bulgaria around WWII, they made a law that people could no longer spit in the street. Then when the communists came in after WWII, they said everything the fascists did, we're doing the opposite. So the people said, "OK, so we spit in the streets again?"
This is what Trump reminds me of.
