Obama Ready To Quickly Reverse Bush Actions, Executive orders

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.

A team of four dozen advisers, working for months in virtual solitude, set out to identify regulatory and policy changes Obama could implement soon after his inauguration. The team is now consulting with liberal advocacy groups, Capitol Hill staffers and potential agency chiefs to prioritize those they regard as the most onerous or ideologically offensive, said a top transition official who was not permitted to speak on the record about the inner workings of the transition.

I have one suggestion for President Obama, humbly and with all due respect:

Undo the "unitary executive" nonsense last. After you've managed to undo every other thing Bush did. You might need that.

Fortunately, Barack Obama and Joe Biden are both accomplished lawyers. Normally, I'm not too fond of lawyers, but, I do like these two guys. I know they will get things done the proper way--and purge all the legal garbage left behind by the W administration.

The first thing to do is to go after all the crap Cheney pulled to render himself unaccountable to the law, the Congress, and the American people.

This is really excellent. Obama is right on the ball with everything. He is ready even before day 1. I feel very secure having him as our Pres.

I agree. I woke up November 5th feeling "safer" than I have in years. :)

I woke up in fear.

If the wingnuts will leave him in peace and give him a chance they just might be surprised what he will do for the country.
