EXECUTIVE ORDERS ISSUED…Even if not true it's probably, as lefties said eight years ago, "fake but accurate" :-)
Teddy Roosevelt 3
Between Teddy to FDR NONE
FDR 11 in 16 years
Truman 5 in 7 years
Ike 2 in 8 years
Kennedy 4 in 3 years
LBJ 4 in 5 years
Nixon 1 in 6 years
Ford 3 in 2 years
Carter 3 in 4 years
Reagan 5 in 8 years
Bush 3 in 4 years
Clinton 15 in 8 years
George W. Bush 62 in 8 years
Obama 923 in 3 1/2 years!
People said President Bush practiced an Imperial Presidency. If the above information is true, what does that say about the incumbent?
Or it could be a load of BS.
ReplyDeleteCome on, Darren. I know this election means a lot to you and that you are a strong-willed right leaning thinker, but a few moments with Google gets the Federal Register's Executive Orders Disposition Tables Index. "Trust, but verify" ... it's good policy nowadays with much of what's floating around the Internet.
Obama has issued 134 to GWB's 290.
Barack Obama (2009-Present)
EO's 13489 - 13623
George W. Bush (2001-2009)
EO's 13198-13488
Actually, looking back at the list, none of those numbers is even the slightest bit accurate. FDR, for example issued more than 3000:

Without a source it's impossible to determine which is accurate in the context being given. After all, "I think I'll have the salmon" is an executive order but not exactly consequential other then to the president's digestion.
ReplyDeleteValid points, Curmudgeon.
ReplyDeleteRather sloppy with this one, D.
Kind of like the "When did you stop beating your wife" question.
Read what I wrote and explain to me in what way I was sloppy.
ReplyDeleteSloppy because of my lawyer trick reference. Quite sloppy and not to your standard. Criticism is one thing. Monstrously inaccurate statistics just makes you look foolish. You're better than this and you should probably just delete the whole post.
