Obama's Transition Chief: Bush's Executive Orders Under Review

There are more on that site which I donot agree with but had such trouble trying to get my program to recognize copy that I capture one which may have universal concern to all faith based initiatives if changed according to the writers proposal:

IMO, religious groups should be excluded from anti-discrimination clauses for hire: Life-style issues are very real, and invasive enough without forcing faith based groups to employ those who would not represent the morality and values of the faith.

 

No it doesn't prove anything other than the voters are unhappy with their incumbents and wanted to clean house. It doesn't even speak to the issue of whether the voters were informed or not. Its the squeeky wheel that gets the grease..... so when sides are disproportionately represented by news bias or activism..... this too makes impact.

All who are in office after this election may assume that they owe their success in part to a segment of voters which are hard core and will vote for them based upon party loyalty no matter what...... and a segment that voted for them based upon what they promised or proposed to do, issue voters....... and a segment which gave more of an anti-vote against the choice offered by the other party than a real 'I'm in agreement with you' vote. True, some of these groups are not distinctly separate in their motivation to vote.

The vote is fickle. Anyone in office should try to represent his constituency, and should keep them informed when he has to go against their desires for what he understands to be the good of all.

 

Thank you for excepting me, I didn't vote for Obama, I voted for McCain!

 

As we saw in 2000 and 2004 ... right?

 

All Presidents do this. I think Clinton holds the record for ExOs doesn't he?

 

I made the same point earlier and was challenged on it. I am not sure if Clinton holds the record or not, but yes all presidents issue EO's and change amend, negate or otherwise change EOs by former presidents.

 

Agreed - I don't know why this is an issue.

 

It is not usually front page news. But since the far left wing media (ABC, CBS, NBC, MSNBC, CNN) want to make it front page news so as to embarrass the President it has become an issue.

 

You left out Fox - the source of the original article.

 

Fox is not far left.

 

You said that the far left were the ones guilty of bringing this up - I pointed out that this thread was based on a Fox article, so it is not just the 'liberal left media' pushing this story to the forefront.

 

Hmmm, when did Fox News become far left. I am not sure you know what left and far left is ... and I am sure you do not realize what far right is.

 

Right. If people had perfect 20/20 hindsight we would have had a third-party candidate for prez.

 

He said he would do this, so this is no surprise.

In fact, I started a thread about it long ago...

and notice the responses on that thread. I said it was scary stuff, but the left still to this day has no fear of what Obama might do. The fact is that neither the left nor the right knows exactly what he will do. Time will tell.

 

So you're arguing that a President should be inaugurated and only then start thinking about the state of the union and what needs to be changed? Doesn't sound too wise especially in these perilous times with GM tottering on the brink of bankruptcy and the economy going into a deep dive. I hope that our new President will hit the ground running. If not we're really in bad shape.

 

I was watching BBC here in Prague and they talked about EO's. Reagan issued an EO, Clinton issued an EO basically killing Reagan's EO. Then G. Bush killed Clinton's EO with his own EO .... and Obama has said he will reverse Bush's EO. Kind of funny in a way.
