Obama’s Executive Orders
I woke this morning to discover many emails in my inbox from readers in a tizzy because Obama is going to overturn some of President Bush’s Executive Orders. “What can we do,” they ask?
What can you do? Absolutely nothing. President Obama is a Bull in a China Cabinet.
For those of you that have yet to figure it out a President Obama is not going to hear anything you say. You, the individual, are irrelevant.
A President Obama is an arrogant authoritarian who has visions of the world holding hands and singing Kumbaya.
Believing he possesses the answers to the worlds problems (let us not forget, he is the president of the world) there is nothing anyone can say or do to stop him from overturning these Executive Orders.
Sit back, see which ones he overturns and what his new Executive Order entails. Then we will talk about it. There are steps that can be taken to prevent them, such as Congress overturning them- but with this Congress do not expect that to happen.
It can be challenged in court. But, only two executive orders have been overturned by the Supreme Court.
Lastly, it can be overturned by the next elected President of the United States.
Relax, take a deep breath and go about your day. Do not stress. Stress is not good for your health and I do not advise developing any serious illnesses during an Obama Presidency.

Go voice your opinion instead of moping about it for four years.
It’s the end of the world!
But seriously, if Obama overturns some of the abominable environmental laws Bush is now trying to enact, are you really going to whine about the need for smaller government?
Once Obama gets into office, he will spend more of his time dealing with this war, and how dealing with foreign realtions. I agree once he does start overturning things, then I would get a little concerned. As for now though, I’m just going to go on for the ride.
I think it’s a good thing that an incoming president is making use of this waiting period to see what policies the outgoing president made that go against his own policies. Like you say, next president will get the chance to do the same - just as Bush did when he took over.
