- ScoobyG, on 11/09/2008, -9/+240You mean... a politician is going to actually follow up on his campaign promises?
...
(brain explodes) - MyBookie, on 11/09/2008, -8/+237I think that is great. Reverse the Patriot Act and other things Bush did to errode our Freedoms and I will be his biggest fan.
- charm803, on 11/09/2008, -10/+176This is what happens when you send in an overachiever to the White House!
=) - texasred54, on 11/09/2008, -17/+171A rush to save the environment from corporate greed. We all need to raise a ruckus about what Bush is doing.
- SFBWork, on 11/09/2008, -7/+140Stem cell research is back on the books? Sweet!
- Nicotone, on 11/09/2008, -24/+147Hip-Hip-Hurray!
This brings so much joy to my heart.
Next up, prosecuting the war criminals of the Bush Administration, prosecuting the lawyers of the Bush Administration, prosecuting those who broke federal laws in the Bush Administration, prosecuting Karl Rove, Prosecuting those who ran Abu Gharib, prosecuting those who ran Walter Reed, Prosecuting those who ran Guantanamo, prosecuting everyone in the Bush Admisintration who doctored facts, who uttered lies under oath, who disobeyed laws of the land, prosecuting those who Bush doesn't pardon. Heads need to roll!
THERE WILL BE BLOOD!!! - WilliamCrandall, on 11/09/2008, -4/+119
"A team of four dozen advisers, working for months in virtual solitude, set out to identify regulatory and policy changes Obama could implement soon after his inauguration. The team is now consulting with liberal advocacy groups, Capitol Hill staffers and potential agency chiefs to prioritize those they regard as the most onerous or ideologically offensive.
"A book titled "Change for America," being published next week by the Center for American Progress, an influential liberal think tank, will recommend, for example, that Obama rapidly create a National Energy Council to coordinate all policymaking related to global climate change.
"The center's influence with Obama is substantial: It was created by former Clinton White House official John D. Podesta, a co-chairman of the transition effort, and much of its staff has been swept into planning for Obama's first 100 days in office."
- Nattybumpoe, on 11/09/2008, -16/+108Wait wait wait... Let me get this straight. So we just elected a president who is going to use his executive powers - after the largest expansion of executive powers in US history - use those executive powers to get rid of the president's powers in the executive branch? Ladies and gentlemen, I think that George Washington may have been dethroned as my favorite US president - and that president hasn't even taken office yet!
- ThsGuyRightHere, on 11/09/2008, -3/+90Actually I don't consider this overachieving, I just consider it competent administration/preparation. We've lowered our standards over the past 8 years.
Either way I'm impressed. - JenniferInMO, on 11/09/2008, -6/+82And he's getting it all in place BEFORE he takes office. W went on vacation after the two election and he spent more days on vacation before 9/11 (first 9 months of his first term) than any other President had spent in an entire term!
- ieee, on 11/09/2008, -5/+72Oh the hypocrisy of right wingers. They never said "boo" as Bush shredded the constitution ( without reading it ), expanded his powers and Cheney expanded his.
Now, when President Elect Obama thinks about using his given, not stolen, powers as a president to do GOOD, instead of christian taliban, earth raping agenda they are all aghast at the President using power. - Nattybumpoe, on 11/09/2008, -13/+68He's not one that strikes you as being in favor of the constitution? What prompts that little nugget of *****?
- RuffBong, on 11/09/2008, -19/+74(^^) I believe the only propoganda is the exact kind of stuff I read on digg and bury/thumbdown/block.... Barack Obama is without a doubt the best thing that has ever happened to this country, representing a total reverse of a dangerous path we have been on for many many years now. Give the guy some time and soon we will see that the people elected this man, NOT big business, like arms makers that have very nearly tripled their sales in foreign arms for the past three years, and OIL companies, you know, the same firms that have been running puppet governments till this time. Much of what we need to do and where we need to go is going to take a bit of time. But we now are led by a man that the PEOPLE, the hardworking PEOPLE of this country elected, and he represents his constituency, US. FINALLY we have someone here who is looking out for the best interests of the real backbone of america.... US. Dig it, soon, we are no longer being controlled by big business. This is not rule for corporate profit, this is rule for liberty of the people, enforcement of the constitution, rule for the people, and rule for peace. That's why we were founded in the first place, we are just getting back to our roots. Like Lincoln, Obama will be an instrumental part of making it real again.
He has defeated the worst of both the republican and democratic parties grudges and slander, attacks and attempted defamation of his character. Give the guy so0me ***** credit, kick back, relax, shut the ***** up, and realize... HE'S GOT THIS.
America, i am proud of you, we just got the entire world high as a kite, they are very proud of us, and for once, the very real possibility of peace is in front of us. Thanks to Jah for this man. - Gemfinder, on 11/09/2008, -6/+54There is no way anyone (reasonable) can read this article and these developments and not get excited.
- cheesegypsy, on 11/09/2008, -15/+62Thank god.
- lynchjos, on 11/09/2008, -7/+48Obama's takin' out the trash.
- JenniferInMO, on 11/09/2008, -12/+53Obama has it going on! I was so relieved to read this article. We all knew Bush would do his political paybacks, but I worried that they would be difficult to override. Next comes all the pardons. That should be interesting.
- ctscradle08, on 11/09/2008, -5/+46yeah you're right...why would a former professor of constitutional law value the constitution? *sarc*
- layne36, on 11/09/2008, -6/+46I'll take Obama's America over Bush's America any day.
- wholesum, on 11/09/2008, -5/+44One for the conservatives: Don't worry about the environment, it will go away.
- sb66, on 11/09/2008, -5/+41I hope Obama's got a big shovel, because there's 8 years of crap to get rid of.
- inactive, on 11/09/2008, -12/+46Congratulations Americans.
- inactive, on 11/09/2008, -4/+38But "Reverse Bush Actions" are my favorite sex positions....
- JenniferInMO, on 11/09/2008, -6/+38I am an Obama supporter and I disagree wholeheartedly with his votes on FISA and the Patriot Act. It is my hope that he only voted in exchange for minimizing them the best he could. Both of those laws are contrary to everything he has written about or talked about, so I am hoping and crossing my fingers that he urges Congress to send him a bill which brings them into compliance with our Constitution.
As for gay marriage he has been very supportive of GLBT rights, but he is a little wimpy. I would like to see a US Constitutional Amendment protecting their rights as a class, but there is not enough support for that.
There will never be a candidate with whom I agree with 100% of the time. But I agree that civil liberties and individual rights provided by our Constitution are top priority. The ACLU has already sent him a letter requesting specific changes to restore the rights eliminated and restricted during the Bush Administrations. If he and the Congress doesn't respond I will be there with the ACLU working hard to hold him to the Constitution. - JenniferInMO, on 11/09/2008, -4/+36They were the only viable candidates. I had no intention of voting on principle when the result could have been McCain in office.
- sarahlee, on 11/09/2008, -0/+31Reassuring, isn't it.
- Erectile, on 11/09/2008, -3/+34How about repealing the USA PATRIOT act? There's an unconstitutional load of garbage if I've ever seen one.
- paintgrl, on 11/09/2008, -5/+36Ahhhhhh, a sigh of relief. I forgot what competent and intelligent people look like in the White House. If this is a sign of the way Obama and his administration is going to run we are so lucky. He will be one of the greatest Presidents ever if he lives up to his promise and keeps up this excellent performance of his job.
- dingokidney, on 11/09/2008, -2/+32Care to elaborate/explain?
- LawSchoolBound, on 11/09/2008, -0/+29Although he cannot immediately throw out the patriot act, he can choose not to exercise the power it gives to him. As the head of the executive branch he can make it clear to the FBI and others that he expects them to have a warrant before conducting searches, etc.
- PeppermintPig, on 11/09/2008, -4/+32Reversing it should mean replacing it with nothing. The old laws work just fine.. the ones about not taking away someone's liberty, life, property, freedom of speech, redress of grievances, right to bear arms, pursue beliefs as they please, etc...
- Dweller99, on 11/09/2008, -7/+35As a proponent of the Second Amendment, what have you done in your state to form and participate in a "well regulated militia"? Most people who point to the second amendment as they clean their guns always seem to overlook the part about what the founding fathers meant by that passage.
- JaseFace, on 11/09/2008, -6/+33digitronix, while I agree with you...*****, Bush has done enough damage that I don't care, to be honest, if Obama uses a bit more executive authority than the constitution grants the presidency in order to reverse it.
- ThsGuyRightHere, on 11/09/2008, -3/+29I had a very close friend and cousin die last year from diabetes. I'm glad to see stem cell research becoming less hindered, but if within two years scientists are able to cure diabetes or grow someone a new pancreas because of increased access to stem cells I may have to do something that pops me up on the secret service's radar.
Among the other BS that Bush engaged in, I hope somewhere on this to-do list is removing the blatant ideological abuses of power, like removing all "evolution" references from literature provided at national parks. - staffell, on 11/09/2008, -0/+25He didn't say this was overachieving, he just said an overachiever was being sent to the white house.
- ThsGuyRightHere, on 11/09/2008, -5/+30Got any sources or facts to back that up? Didn't think so.
- inactive, on 11/09/2008, -32/+56Well, some of them.
He wants to leave gay marriage "up to the states" to decide. Way to stand up for their civil rights, Mr.Obama.
/s
And don't get me started Obama's support of the FISA (Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act) and the Patriot Act. I guess he doesn't care about our 4th amendment rights...
The Obama loyalists will subsequently bury me for providing factual information, which casts their leader in a negative light. - inactive, on 11/09/2008, -6/+30McCain completely opposes gay marriage, and he supports FISA + the Patriot Act as well.
- samimnot, on 11/09/2008, -8/+31Great article...but IMO the people of this country CAN NOT just sit back and watch, as President Obama / Senate / House / etc...do all the work. We need to stay involved.
We ALL know that Big Oil has to go (replaced by wind/wave/solar and future technologies. We ALL know Big Business needs their asses spanked and told to behave. We ALL know that the Earth and all it's inhabitants need to be saved, as opposed to polluted and killed off. As well as many, many other issues.
Stay on top of things...be loud and clear. Reverse all the Bush/GOP BS and move this country into the future. Most importantly...remember what got us into this mess in the first place / Never elect an (insert words of your choice here) for President, again. - JenniferInMO, on 11/09/2008, -3/+26Obama is a leader. Ralph Nader is not. Ralph Nader runs for the Presidency every election and has had a dwindling cult following.
- Pyehole, on 11/09/2008, -3/+25Didja see his org chart on change.gov that lists the constitution as the highest authority?
- eodp3, on 11/09/2008, -3/+25his not taking away his powers, he's just reversing Bush's.
".. to reverse White House policies on climate change, stem cell research, reproductive rights and other issues, ..." - JenniferInMO, on 11/09/2008, -9/+31He's going to have to go through Congress to repeal that one, but I expect he will. They need an entirely new law (with warrants!) to replace the old law, which was outdated.
- grantface, on 11/09/2008, -2/+24how about the patriot act?
- KMartSheriff, on 11/09/2008, -2/+23Do you need to take a nap or something?
- nihilville, on 11/09/2008, -6/+27@fyngyrz
Unfortunately, you lost any argument you may have been attempting to make regarding the United States Constitution when you decided you could list one section of the Second Amendment and completely ignore the other.
The ENTIRE text of the Second Amendment that was written into our Constitution reads as follows:
"A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed."
Did you catch that part about "well regulated"? Trying to do away with gun regulations is what is unconstitutional. What Obama has mentioned regarding the issue (which really isn't enough to judge what his ultimate stance will be on this oft misinterpreted issue) is well within the bounds of what our founding fathers suggested, as it would not infringe upon individuals rights to bear arms, but would just put the necessary regulations in place to protect the nation's citizenry and security. - Arramol, on 11/09/2008, -2/+23Hint: citizens live in the environment. Destroy the environment, it takes us with it.
- secrity, on 11/09/2008, -4/+23What the *****? Do you not know what his academic background is and what part of his career has involved?
- angrykeyboarder, on 11/09/2008, -6/+24Yes!
