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.

Article I, Section 8, Clause 18: To make all Laws which shall be necessary and proper for carrying into Execution the foregoing Powers, and all other Powers vested by this Constitution (emphasis added) in the Government of the United States, or in any Department or Officer thereof.Or do the people merely like to complain as opposed to actually getting the constitutionally-limited federal government that they want?10th Amendment: The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people.
"The One" can ignore that old dusty rag, the constitution. His minions in congress can override any opposition and allow him to be our first Caesar for the greater glory of the democrat party.
Thanks for the ping!
No, he quit smoking. He’s up to 45 packs of Nicorette gum per day. He’s still in favor of killing babies.
He went to Harvard, he has a brilliant plan...Let the illegal immigrants come in and pay FICA, FUTA instead of the millions of dead American children who should be here.

When he drops these executive orders because he is making all this GRAND CHANGE>..
Anyting that happens to this country is on his HEAD.
No suprise, Obama stated that Al Gore would have a seat at the table in his administration.
There's been quite a bit of commentary on the financial services. Though there's been some O cheering before the election, the general mood has been one of a developing disaster, and how to ride it out.
The "Hold, it'll come back" voices have been pretty quiet, moving aside to technical analysis on which stocks will suffer most/least from Zero's policies, how to keep from losing ALL your money, the inevitable global dominoe effect, and which sectors could benefit - eventually - from the acorn prince.
Surprisingly, the promised cheering and screams of glee at the prospect of taking billions of dollars of shareholder's money to make good on bribing voters to begin the dismantling of our economy by hiring this Marxist POS were absent./s
Al Gore will be his EPA Secretary!
What nutty questions.
“their goals are different”
I don’t really understand what and whose goals you’re talking about. If it’s between Dims and investors, you’re right.
Obama should have been a great deal more prepared for a win than he was. Not only were we faced with the current level of uncertainty prior to the election, his win added a whole other level simply because no one really knows what the new administration and congress will be doing. It would have been nice if he had a treasury secretary lined up, and the party had a clear and more detailed action plan.
My complaint was more about how they aren’t prepared, don’t have any clear plans, and they all just sat around while the stock market tanked rather than providing the needed leadership that would calm everyone down.
Just wondering! Sounded like it! Bush bots?
“If the idea is to kill their children before they’re born, why do they call it “reproductive rights?” If the unborn child is thought of as an unwanted parasite, why do they call the parasite’s godless host a “mother?””
I don’t really know the answer to that, but it is probably for the same reason that they refer to the person who takes care of the “unwanted parasite” a “doctor”.
