Politics: Obama to Undo Bush Executive Orders

 

"Change" is apparently coming...soon.  Shortly after Inauguration Day next Tuesday, Barack Obama plans to reverse some of George W. Bush's most controversial executive orders.  Although, not all of these will happen immediately, many insiders believe the following will be taken care of ASAP.  

-  Torture of terror suspects will supposedly end.  

-  Guantanamo Bay Prison will be shut down.

-  Presidential Signing Statements will be limited.

-  Secrecy privileges of Vice Presidents and family members of past Presidents will be revoked.

I'm more or less an "I'll believe it when I see it" type, but am optimistic that if Obama follows through, it will help put things on the right track and restore the rule of law in the US.  Wouldn't it be nice if we all could have an Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind experience and simply wipe the past 8 years from memory?

As you said Ill believe it when i see it . I am confident though that Obama will take action immediately. However It Is ULTRA Important that we do not wipe our memories clean of the presidential debacle we call the bush administration. we must learn from the tragic mistakes made and remind future administrations as often as possible in hopes that history does not repeat itself
