Obama Averages Fewer Executive Orders than Clinton, Bush (II)

[longknife]

In this edition of Brookings Data Now: governing by executive order; U.S. poverty rate; "opportunity" in Obama's SOTU; volume of U.S. exports; Egypt's economic situation.

Ouch! That upsets my thinking on the matter - although not on the man. Read the full piece with links @ Brookings Data Now: Obama Averages Fewer Executive Orders than Clinton, Bush (II) | Brookings Institution

Facts upset extremist. As they're extremist outside of reality.

It doesn't matter how many he has signed.. It is the affect of the ones that he has signed on the people that matters.

President Bush may have signed ten that told agencies that their people needed additional training on customer service and Obama signs one that tells agencies that their people need to ignore laws that are on the books.

Are you going to claim that Obama is better because he only signed one compared to President Bush's ten?

The problem is your "facts" don't mean squat.

You're using "facts" to lie.

A movement that doesn't believe in investing in science, r and d and infrastructure is idiotic.

A movement that doesn't invest in education at a time when we're sliding = suicidal.

Customer service? You mean like the orders that gave permission to use torture, distribute and loose track of billions of dollars in Iraq? That kind of customer service?

So now you want to talk about the substance of the EO when discussing President Bush's.... You didn't want to do that when discussing Obama's...

No, I'm only deal with the continual pro-Obama tirade that he's signed less than others. They usually don't cite links so I thought I would.

And, please read my personal comment.
