The head of President-elect Barack Obama's transition team said Sunday that the incoming administration is conducting an extensive review of President Bush's executive orders.
President-elect Barack Obama said he intends to move with "deliberate haste" in making appointments.
President-elect Barack Obama said he intends to move with "deliberate haste" in making appointments.
Asked about reports that the transition team already has identified a number of areas where Obama could issue executive orders as soon as he takes office, John Podesta said he would not "preview decisions that [Obama] has yet to make."
"I would say that as a candidate, Sen. Obama said that he wanted all the Bush executive orders reviewed and decide which ones should be kept and which ones should be repealed and which ones should be amended, and that process is going on. It's been undertaken," Podesta said Sunday on "Fox News."
Podesta pointed out that there is a lot the president can do without waiting for Congress, and voters can expect to see Obama do so to try and restore "a sense that the country is working on behalf of the common good."
I have to tell you that sounds exceptionally good to me!

Loretta, I believe that Barack is working as quickly as he can to move us FORWARD :) Here is a link to his transition website, where people can write to Barack and Biden and give advice, ask questions, etc.

Of course you think it sounds good to you. You can't have people disagreeing with you- proven by you not posting my comments. Obviously Obama feels the same way "If Bush didn't do what I think should have been done, even when I wasn't president, I am going to change it. HMMM, Maybe I can even go back to his father's presidency."
Your comments were posted with an explanation. Make of it what you will. Bush did some terrible things during his eight years and now some of them will be reversed. He has a lower approval rating than Richard Nixon did when he resigned. You don't get any worse than that.
Surely you don't approve of every single thing Bush did as President do you? Surely not.
