What did you do, just fabricate your stats? Or, did you have some right-wing talk show idiot like Michael Savage fabricate them for you? George W. Bush issued 288 executive orders, compared with 363 for Bill Clinton, and 380 for Ronald Reagan. Jimmy Carter issued 319 in just four years, while Richard Nixon issued the most in recent history – 481. Herbert Hoover issued nearly 1000 in his four disastrous years. But, the most in history, by far, and not surprising because of the length of his Presidency and because he was President both during the New Deal and WW II, was FDR at 3466.

Interesting, but par for the course.

How are executive orders an abuse of power? Executive orders are the primary way by which the president does his job. He’s supposed to issue executive orders and run the federal government. That’s what he is paid to do. What do you want him to do, sit on his butt and watch?

Hope Changey is also on track to spend more money than has been spent in the entire history of the US.

Oh that’s silly. All the presidents do executive orders. There’s a list of them by president here:

There will be a lot more of this if he wins a second term knowing he will never have to face another election.

If that’s what he’s doing, I’ll give credit to those in his Politburo who know how to play the system. If the system is leaky, then it is up to Congress as a whole to fix it.

I sincerely hope you’re trolling.

Every president issues executive orders. If you think that the number of EOs issued proves a president to be Communist, then I guess these can join the Marxist club:

Obama: 109
GW Bush: 291
Bill Clinton: 364
George HW Bush: 166 (one term)
Ronald Reagan: 381
Jimmy Carter: 320

Libya was a total violation. Guess imperialism is all good when the president is a mullato with a D next to his name.
