Well he did say he would go over every one of Bush's executive orders and determine the constitutional validity of them.

But that's a campaign promise and we'll just have to see what he really does.

Neither do I.

And the very fact that he is already hiring goons who were behind some of the economic fraud mess we're in doesn't exactly inspire confidence that he is going to "change" much. Not to mention him voting FOR the criminal fraud wall street bailout, and voting FOR illegal warrantless domestic spying and wiretapping programs the Decider's admin instigated...

"Reviewing" is fine and dandy, but I'm not going to hold my breath that anything will come of it. Hopefully I'll be proven wrong.


Absolutely . . . I think this is little more than window dressing.

How far will the digging go. Given that Obama keeps harping on the 'bipartisan' mantra, if he simply looks at the president's dirty little deeds but ignores those of congress and the senate (see the little piggies squirm), it will smack of a witch hunt.

And if he does have the nads to go digging in congress and senate, and he finds some nastyugly dirt on his democratic colleagues, do you actually think it will ever see the light of day.

Wise up folks . . . wake up and smell the grounds . . . nothing's going to change. It can't . . . the real power behind governments throughout the world won't dare let it happen.

If Vegas was taking odds, I'd wager my little pile of money that if honest 'no stone unturned' transparent true and honest 'digging' even starts, Biden will be taking the oath of office sooner than later as a signal to 'bugger off' will have to be sent.

While it sounds nice and good, I do not hold my hopes very high on this one.

To see all the executives orders made in 8 years is gong to take more than a few years to do.

To reverse of change them is going to take another few years on top of the few years to review.

So I guess Obama is planning to spend his entire first 4 years of presidency reading into Bushes executive orders.

I don't know about that.

I love it, replace fascism with socialism.

This country just keep getting better and better! Now, where's that brown shirt that Obama state I wear. After all, gotta put in my mandatory "community service". I can't wait.

This reminds me of a poem I once read...It went something like this:


Late last night and the night before
Tommyknockers Tommyknockers knocking at the door.

I want to go out, dont know if I can
'cause I'm so afraid of the Tommyknocker man.

I'm glad Obama's transition team is taking a hard look at all the draconian executive orders from this out going neo-fascist administration but the way W's people operate I'm sure if there is anything that can get him and Cheney arrested it's been covered up.
