Obama, always one step ahead, what's his next move? [View all]

We all have praised Obama for being one step of the opposition, how brilliant he is, the consummate chess player. What do you think he's up to? He knows that Trump is a lunatic and is dangerous to the people he's sworn to protect, so what's is Obama's end game?

He did next to nothing while Putin attacked our democratic elections, and has said he will retaliate. But, he hasn't. What game do you think Obama is playing?

After Comey released the letter to Congress, Obama did nothing and said nothing. What clever thing is Obama up to?

As the evidence mounts of Comey's corrupt efforts to influence the election, one would think that Obama would throw him out on his ass and launch an investigation. But, no, Comey's still in charge. What clever move is Obama planning?

Despite Trump's reckless statements and radical appointments, Obama himself seems to be personally laying down the red carpet for Trump. Do you think it's a trap?

Obama may be able to appoint Garland during the lame duck Congress, but Obama appears to be leaving it to Trump to choose the next Supreme Court Justice. What game do you think Obama is playing?

For 8 years, we've marveled at Obama the chess player, the strategist, the one who outsmarted Congress even when they blocked his every effort, so surely Obama is up to something. What do you think it is? What's his final move?
