236.com: President Bush Is Making Laws Faster Than President-Elect Obama Can Promise To Rescind Them

President Bush is pushing through a ruling that will make it more difficult for women to get contraceptives. The loosening of restrictions makes it easier for health care workers to conscientiously object to filling birth control prescriptions and the like. The ruling also enjoys the support of the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops, which pretty much says it all.

Aides to President-elect Obama said he would try to rescind the ruling once he takes office, but that the process that could take three to six months. President Bush is also sticking his pals in cush civil service jobs, and looking at giving himself a pardon.

Jeez, Seven7s.. I hope you are right.. the first thing any Congress should do is stop outgoing presidents from enacting any new laws 4 months before they leave office. Congress should have control.. and no pardons!

Cant Obama simply draft an Executive Order Resending all Bush executive orders from 2000-2008?

Sure you eliminate the good ones too but you can always go back and resign them once your team finds the few good ones in the bunch. Plus there would be comfort in knowing that in Bush's case 99.9% of his EO's where either unconstituional or just plain dumb anyway.

He alone did not do it - fault our congress and senate who enabled him!

Bush makes life more difficult for so many women that, every time he shows up on in public, there should be a question on whether his daughters use contraceptives.
Another nice thing would be to sue him for child-support money by all women for whom he made the safe prevention of unwanted pregnancy impossible

The childless Catholic "fathers" have been supporting Bush for years; they have been supporting the person who caused enormous sufferings and the death of great many people.
The "fathers" claim to protect new life? " Well. Do they support the free health care for poor children and expecting mothers? Should not they give their wealth to those in need?

The Bush scorched earth policy - get rid of our remaining freedoms and rights in 60 days or less.

[harriscrl3]

So he wants to pardon himself? See why Obama says he is not going to investigate charges against him he is probably hoping Bush beileves it and decide to pass on the pardoning of himself. I have never head anything so outrageous you shouldnt be allowed to pardon yourself.

Please America, no more frat boys for president.

[PJBroughton]

I wish his mother had used birth control.
This guy should be Congressionally blocked from making anything but sock puppets for the next couple of months.

In my life I always thought when it comes to politics you stick to the issues but George W Bush you might use all the laws of the land to try and get yourself out of prosecution but you have a God to answer to and he will determine your judgement.

[Soulsurfer]

Yeah, right, I guess that scares the heck out of him.

Impeach the sob
