"There's a lot that the president can do using his executive authority without waiting for congressional action, and I think we'll see the president do that," Podesta said. "I think that he feels like he has a real mandate for change. We need to get off the course that the Bush administration has set."

Picking up where Bubba Clinton left off, I see. Tell me why we need Congress, again?? And, why aren't the Dems threatening Obama like they did Bush??

Oh, silly me, that's right, he's THEIR guy!!!

“Picking up where Bubba Clinton left off.”

If you read the whole article it points out the Reagan used the executive order a lot as have other Republicans. For instance this article points out that Bush is currently pushing oil development in Utah. If he does a lot more of this kind of thing, it will give the Dems a lot of cover to do the same themselves once they have the chance.
