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.

The political center for the pundits is always way left of America's real center.
Very true. Those are the cornerstones of his worldview, along with silencing opposition.
At least he is consistent. He smokes and believes in abortion.
I dunno. The longer I live the worse Carter seems. He trashed the dignity of the office. In his case it was the “jes folks” crap, but Clinton did the same. Worse regarding the dignity of the office, but I’m not sure Clinton was quite as destructive in foreign affairs.
Conservatism = Racism = Hate Crime.
Just wait, coming to a soviet near you.
Climat4e change? What Frickin climate change? The globe has been COOLING for the past decade with record ice and snow and cold ALL over the globe- Global Warming? Not on htis planet! “Man-caused Global warming” is one of hte biggest environmental scams EVER! The warming has CLOSELY followed radiation flares on the sun- the flares increased- the earth warmed, they are now decreased- and have been for... get ready for it.... over a decade now, and htere has been no warming nor for.... get ready for it.... over a decade now. Th4e past few winters have been the coldest in records for a long time now, and we’ve steadily been getting cooler- JUST like the forcasts that monitor hte sun’s activities have predicted- Hmmmm... Computer models that follow the sun’s activity predicting with great success while the alarmist computer models that predict global catastrophy because of ‘man’s involvement are WAY off hte mark- Gee- which one of htese computers models is the REAL science models folks? When ‘man-caused’ global warming nutjobs accuse us of being ‘anti-science’- just look in hteir eye and have pity on the duped fools for they know not what they do.
>>>To Democrats, we ARE the enemy.<<<
yeah I know, ain’t it GREAT!
And how many Clinton directives did Bush reverse upon taking office? My guess is few. That would have been contrary to the “new tone”, which was later proven to be so highly successful.
I guess we won't be able to start counting til Jan 20, but it would be good to start listing the items before they come up:
1. Ban on new off-shore drilling. Check?
2. Elimination of ban on funding for embryonic stem cell research. Check?
3. Proclamation on meeting Kyoto Accords by the year 2020. Check?
4. Plan for 30-day background check for handguns. Check?
5. Elimination of “don't ask, don't tell” for military recruitment. Check?
6. Instating card check rule for all federal employees who are not unionized. Check?
7. Nuclear power ban until permanent safe disposal of wastes can be found. Check?
8. Announce closing of Guantanamo Bay, return of land to Cuba. Check?
9. Pronounce NAFTA unsuccessful, and plan to place immediate halt on the agreement until deficiencies can be evaluated. Check?
10. Halt tax breaks for oil companies immediately, unless they use them for alternative fuel investment. Check?
11. Announce formal relations with Venezuela and Cuba, with plan for aid to the hard hit areas of each country. Check?
12. Pronounce “No Child Left Behind” a failure, and halt enforcement of the program pending thorough review. Check?
13. New “Home Schooling Regulatory Authority” to assure proper oversight of education for children who are being left out of the mainstream of American society. Check?
14. Ban on energy exploration on any national parkland, and proclaiming N. Dakota, S. Dakota, Colorado, Utah national Parks. Check?
15. Halting licensure of new coal fired plants until adequate clean coal technology is approved. Giving coal fired plants 180 days to plan to reduce emissions or be subject to shutdown within 5 years. Check?
16. Announce plan for “cap-and-trade” program, and making all major emitting industries fill out forms in advance of final legislation. Check?
What we must not do is let these “changes” slide through without protest. Whether they have fancy names or altruistic appeal, we must keep publishing the list and letting people know how each will affect their lives.
He campaigned as a centrist! does this sound like he is in the middle or moderate?
Waite till he builds his concentration camps then the fun will begin. I can’t wait till he closes Gitmo and gives all those terrorist lawyers!
ping for later reading.
Where are the Bushbots to tell us how great it is to put more powers unchecked in the Presidency?
I think everyone knows stem cell research has been and is being done, this ia about fed $$$. And climate change is jusy another fairy tail.
their goals are different
