Obama to use executive orders for immediate impact
"One of Bush's first acts was to reinstate full abortion restrictions on U.S. overseas aid. The restrictions were first ordered by President Reagan and the first President Bush followed suit. President Clinton lifted them soon after he occupied the Oval Office and it wouldn't be surprising if Obama did the same."

So, the first thing he's going to do is lift the restrictions on abortions that were tied to US aid funding.
Then he's going to make it harder for us to drill our own oil in our own country.
We've got change alright.

As I recall from having retired from the government, executive orders are not laws. They don't apply to civian, non government employees.
ReplyDeleteThey apply to the executive branch only. Since when can a President enact laws around Congress?

On the White House web site is a record of President Bush's Executive Orders. They make for interesting reading and give a good sense of the man's priorities and true character; his first one was this - http://www.whitehouse.gov/news/releases/2001/01/20010129-2.html
