We’d better get used to being “Occupied”. And resist.

“Presidential Executive Orders: How would Obama use them?”
Given that he has no respect for the law or the Constitution he will issue orders that are patently illegal and expect them to be obeyed. Count on it.

I've heard that Bush 43 granted more executive orders than any other President.
That seems to be the reason (well, one of the reasons) the left liberal sheep think he's the worst president ever.
Once upon a time I had a link to where one can look up and see how many executive orders a president had signed. I can't remember where it is now.

I’m trying to remember the line that Yul Brynner used when he was Pharoah in The 10 Commandments. “So it is written, so it is done”? Something like that.

What do you think that Obama would do via Executive Order?I heard an interview this morning in which he was asked if he would issue an executive order overturning one of President Bush's executive orders -- I think the one on stem cell research.
His answer, as best I recall, was that the issue needed to be addressed by Congress, because the peoples' representatives should be making such a decision, not just one man.
I (along with other conservatives) didn't like President Clinton issuing executive orders, and therefore I didn't like President Bush doing it either. If it's wrong for one party, it's wrong for the other.
Whether he'll live up to it or not remains to be seen, but I liked President-elect Obama's answer.

My guess is that most every executive order GW made Zero will try and countermand.

He will use them at will to get what he wants without any input from the public. He will not be afraid to use them.
If Bush had any balls or real concern for the country he would have used EOs to open oil drilling at ANWR, reopen drilling everywhere, order immediate secret military tribunals for the gitmo bunch, ordered immediate execution for all of the gitmo residents found guilty and quite a few other things that would have benefited the country.
All missed opportunities for which I hold him in contempt.

Obama, as a typical democrat (they don'tchaknow), has stated his administration will promote transparency. Since the democrats usually do the opposite of what they publically call for, Obama will probably make access to things like the EO updated list off limits to the peons outside of his inner command structure. Four the next years, we may get a feel for what he is about to do based upon the lies he utters publically.
Here's an example: Biden's public comment that 'Barack Obama isn't gonna take your shotguns away' can be understood to mean the Obama administration is going to go headlong after the arms held by citizens, to 'get evil guns out of circulation'.

What do you think that Obama would do via Executive Order? Ban Guns. Or at least ban the import of guns, gun parts and ammunition. He can do that by directing the Attorney General to find them not particularly suitable for sporting purposes.
He can step up the BATFE's harassment of gun owners and dealers. Of course it won't be written quite that way, but that will be the effect.
If, as I expect the new and improved assault weapon's ban passes, the BATFE will have lots of extra "grounds" for such harassment.
