Outgoing U.S. President Barack Obama has told incoming President Donald Trump to accept the fact that there is only one U.S. President at a time. Obama also told the president-elect that he remains the U.S. President till Jan. 20, 2017, when he would complete his two-term presidency of the U.S. and handover to Trump. Obama’s remarks followed what the White House termed as Trump’s undue interference in U.S. policies since his election. Also ther president-elect had on Thursday, directed the U.S. Ambassador to the UN, Ms Samantha Power, to veto the Security Council’s Resolution on Israeli settlements in Palestinian territory. However, the Obama’s administration disregarded Trump’s directive and had gone ahead to abstain from voting on the resolution when it finally came up on Friday, drawing criticisms from the president-elect and his team. The White House, in a response by Obama’s Deputy National Security Advisor for Strategic Communications, Mr Ben Rhodes, obtained by NAN, said the UN Security Council’s Resolution was a policy issue that Trump should not meddle in. “On the President-elect, the first thing I’d just say is that there’s one President at a time. “President Obama is the President of the United States until January 20th, and we are taking this action (abstention), of course, as U.S. policy,” he said. Rhodes explained that there was no any communication between the White House and the President-elect or his staff between when Obama made his decision and when the vote took place. “So I’m not aware that President Obama and the President-elect spoke about this, but again, I’m not — President Obama definitely made no reference to that, so I can’t confirm that this hasn’t come up at all, but I’m not aware of any particular conversation they had about this. “We did hear from the President-elect’s team. Again, our position has been there’s one President at a time. “We’re going to make our decision on this and, frankly, believe that it’s important that there’s a principle here that the world understands who is speaking on behalf of the United States until January 20th and who is speaking on behalf of the United States after January 20th. “And look, the new team will have every opportunity after January 20th to pursue their own policies, to take different approaches. “I’m certain that they will on any number of issues. “We’re just reflecting the simple principle that I think has guided the President-elect transitions historically. “Which is that there is one President at a time and we’re going to execute our duties until the new team is in place and the new President is inaugurated,” the Obama’s aide said. Recalled that following the pressure that Trump reportedly put on Egypt, the sponsor of the resolution, Egypt withdrew it on Thursday and the vote was consequently delayed till Friday. However, the resolution was put forward on Friday by Malaysia, New Zealand, Senegal and Venezuela and the 15-member Council adopted the resolution by a vote of 14 in favour and with one abstention – the U.S., which abstained from voting rather than veto the resolution. http://www.vanguardngr.com/2016/12/theres-only-1-u-s-president-i-am-till-jan-20-2017-obama-warns-trump/ 2 Likes |

Aigbofa:Obama is a pussy. He broke a long standing US policy and betrayed Israel to please his globalist moslem brothers. This is the height of betrayal and treachery from a man in his desperate bid to attain global superstardom through political correctness. What a pathetically mediocre liberal sissy Obama is! I wasted money to buy his crappy book (The Audacity of Hope) in 2008 and couldn't make sense out of it up till now. No wonder he is the poorest selling author among all occupants of the White House. Need I remind you that he has the lowest recorded IQ of all US Presidents? Who say Obama is intelligent? 9 Likes 1 Share |

Supposed the Palestinians are also backed up by a superpower goading them to annex Israeli lands would that be a good recipe for peace?

EdCure: Reading what you wrote up there is quite infuriating to say the least. The world is battling with the political tussle that is happening in Syria and here you're unhappy that Isreal is unable to get into Palestine like you have forgotten how they "peacefully" made Palestine a Syria the last time. I'm sure you only know more about Gaza because of this conflict and here you're saying Obama is what-not. The problem the world is facing now is that everyone's hatred is hidden behind religion and I dare say you're one of such problems. 4 Likes |

We are also waiting for you to tell us why they refuse an initial offer of present day Uganda. Y'all foools need to take a trip to the occupied region and see crimes worst than apartheid. Plus Palestinian Christians are also been prosecuted by the Zionist with total ban on Christmas and restrictions of movement in the church of naivety.

Emminent law professor Laurence Tribe described Obama as the best student he ever had, out of thousands of students. While such over-the-top praise calls Tribe’s credibility into question, there is no disputing Obama got above average grades at Harvard. 2 Likes |

Aigbofa:[b]Then let them go and get their own superpower that can rival the US  A weakened Isreal in the middle-east will lead to the growth of terrorism and pernicious anti-american interest groups having a field day, and it also means America loses a significant stake and influence in the middle-east. Israel is critical to US internal security and economic development. Most of the technology we can call American today were produced in joint collaboration with Isreal. Israel has a huge footprint in the American defence industry. Infact, America need isreal to survive. So a US president going against long-standing policy created by much greater men than him is acting against US interests. There is no other way to paint it. I am not going to delve into politics of morality, but that of national interest which is how international politics is played anyway. Obama had no reason to abstain if he was actually trying to do what is best for America. And that is what Trump is angry about. If Nigeria was in the position of America, you would be about what benefits Nigeria and let anybody else be damned. So quit the hypocrisy. I am sure if I probe you, your interest in this matter is most likely religious[/b]. 1 Like |

1.Obama refused to sell weapons to Nigeria in the war against Boko Haram at a time when these criminals were beheading people, raping women,burning down villages in Nigeria, Chad and Cameroon. 2. The same Obama referred to unarmed Ivorian youth as thugs when they were being gunned down by French soldiers. These soldiers were backing rebels against the democratically elected president Gbagbo. 3. Under the watch of the Obama administration radical Muslims groups were having fun in Africa killing in Mali, Cote d'Ivoire, Niger, Libya etc. 4. Obama decided , one does not know for what , to spit on African secular values , asking us to overturn thousands of years of our heritage and allow men to marry with men. Even the racist colonial power did not attempt to make such a disdainful statement. 5. Obama sided with the criminal French -Hungarian Sarkozy to blow up Libya and allow jihadists to wipeout Black Libyan tribes in Libya. That is why no matter how the rest of us might feel about Trump' s actions, Panafricanists should never ever defend Obama or feel upset for him. He can fade away in History. 4 Likes |

panafrican: Obama gave a Billion dollars to us during the war against Boko Haram, which our government sabotaged the effect of the money and wasted it. When the US Military team planned a collaborative strike against Boko Haram in Sambisa Forrest, the Intel for the strike leaked and the US believed Boko Haram infiltrated GEJ's government. There was no way Obama and the American government would continue working with the past administration. We needed to purge ourselves of the demon within before asking for help. 2 Likes |
