| Obama Vows To Review Bush's Executive Orders |
| 2008-07-30 |
| Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama told House members Tuesday that, if he wins the presidency, one of his first acts will be to review every executive order signed by President Bush. On-the-job training? Might learn something about the tough decisions a president has to make. OH? not the reason? Looking for what isn't legal, I bet. And who is the Attorney General that will be reviewing? John Edwards? Assuming the Breck Boy surfaces for air ... It was one of the few specifics the Illinois senator offered to the House Democratic Caucus in a policy and politics pep rally Tuesday night intended to fire up fellow Democrats for the convention and the fall campaign. |

| #5 I actually think every new President should review the previous Executive Orders. Not just the most recent, go back a few Administrations worth. There is something sort of unconstitutional about Executive Orders and they should be checked and double-checked. |

| #4 Review every executive order? That has a girly man sound to it. Not that there is anything wrong with being a girly man. But what we really want are show trials and witch hunts and maybe some mass executions. You know, all those things socialism is famous for. Question: can you still speak Truth to Power when *you* are the Power? |

| #3 We are governed by fecking idiots. Have been for years. We just had enough competent people to help balance it out a bit. We are running out of competent people up there. |

| #2 A congressman said "he's going to need our help. And that is what we needed to hear" OK - so you wanted to hear "I'm from the government and Im here to help"? Rep. Jim Matheson (D-Utah) asked the question on the minds of a lot of Blue Dogs -- what he would do to rein in the deficit. Umm you dipsh*t, CONGRESS spends the money - its up to YOU and the "Blue Dogs" to stop being lap dogs for Pelosi and her Dem cohorts, who are aided by GOP porkers like Alaska's Rep Youn (R). We are governed by fecking idiots. |

| #1 Pressed on more details about an Obama administration, the candidate said he was "superstitious" and didn't want to "jinx" himself |
