Obama To Quickly Reverse Bush Executive Orders

From the Washington Post:

Transition advisers to President-elect Barack Obama have compiled a list of about 200 Bush administration actions and executive orders that could be swiftly undone to reverse White House policies on climate change, stem cell research, reproductive rights and other issues, according to congressional Democrats, campaign aides and experts working with the transition team.

"The kind of regulations they are looking at" are those imposed by Bush for "overtly political" reasons, in pursuit of what Democrats say was a partisan Republican agenda, said Dan Mendelson, a former associate administrator for health in the Clinton administration's Office of Management and Budget. The list of executive orders targeted by Obama's team could well get longer in the coming days, as Bush's appointees rush to enact a number of last-minute policies in an effort to extend his legacy.
I'm just thrilled that we'll have an administration that doesn't base polices on the world being 6,000 years old...



...or one that doesn't see science as an enemy...


...or one who doesn't believe in gagging doctors globally...


...or one that doesn't believe that America tortures...



...or one who doesn't believe that American citizens are all potential terrorists to spy on at will.

The bar just got a little lower, Bush now as worse disapproval rating than Nixon did when he resigned.

Another executive order Obama plans to overturn is Bush's ridiculous limit on stem-cell research.

Finally, here's a news item that I'm sure will delight our resident troll, MSNBC just extended Keith Olbermann's contract

Here's a piece of advice, John K.:

Try not to let your Winger Derangement Syndrome show through so much.

You come across as just a wee bit paranoid, my friend.

And, John, you should watch the video at this link. It explains everything we're going to do.

Barack Obama's real plans

We played you like a drum, fool!

John K: So why did Hussein Obama remove this from the website after it was exposed to the general public on Friday? Stand by to be drafted into the mob left wing kooks. It will so much fun watching you in your brown shirts walking along the highway picking up trash.
