Usual right wing drivel.
President Obama has issued 260 Executive Orders, fewer than Bush (291), fewer than Clinton (364), few than Reagan (381), .... He's issued 12 vetoes. You have to go back to the half term Harding to get fewer than that. He's had 1 veto overridden, the 9/11 bill allowing Saudi Arabia to be sued.
- AdrianB1 10y agoIt's not only the numbers, but it is also the content. We had a similar case in my country (Europe) when a government act was in fact a collection of tens of acts from dozens of areas in a single package. Yes, you can pack together stuff to play with numbers, so then what is the meaning of the numbers? It is also the area of the executive orders. If you go in areas that nobody else intervened in this way, even 1 is way too much. So, in order to be fair, you should do an apple to apple comparison or fruits to fruits if the situation is more complex, not to bash an idea by throwing numbers. PS. I don't vote in US, I'm just reading stuff to learn more.
