...While President Obama was eager in his piece to herald a “21st century” regulatory regime that relies more heavily on expert advice, the executive order he signed today does little to address executive agencies’ practice of regulating in search of a problem. Markey’s crusade to outlaw antibacterial soaps is based on speculation on a product that has a global history of safe use for more than forty years. Restricting antibacterial soaps would disproportionately and unfairly target households with children, where the use of these soaps is almost ubiquitous. After the passage of a health care law that greatly handicaps families’ abilities to pay for their own medical services and products, the Obama administration should refrain from further infringing on Americans’ abilities to keep their families healthy.
This soliloquy to restraint, though welcome, will do little to ease the reserve of businesses and consumers who have seen the regulatory burden explode under the current administration. The deference to regulatory action is an overstep that cannot be rectified by lip service to government restraint; in an op-ed or executive order.

FNC talked about Obama wanting to make regs consistent across state lines and used the example of auto emissions regulations in California and Texas being made the same. Using this example, like the Rats have been doing on a regular basis, Zer0 will probably try to impose onerous California auto emissions on everybody.
Could be wrong, but Obama has a track record using their left hand to distract from the dirty work that the right hand is doing.
No, and nobody believes that he will.
It is times like this I hate the gross hypocrisy of modern politics. Nobody—right, left, middle, young, or old—believies this. Yet we have to go through this charade of acting like it might happen.
