Today Barack Obama became President and between swearing in and signing the necessary paper work... he found time to FREEZE all of Bush's current regulations (or removal of regulations) until they can be reviewed.
Tomorrow I bet he'll close Guantanamo bay.
_______
Did everyone hear the booing when Bush was introduced?... and "Nah nah nah nah hey hey hey Goodbye" practically every time his name was mentioned? Phew.
It just goes to show that America was ready for a black president but apparently we need the dumbest white one ever to remind us of that fact.
_______
He also Signed a proclamation... yeah a presidential proclamation... like Lincoln or Grant or Jackson would..
BY THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA
A PROCLAMATION
As I take the sacred oath of the highest office in the land, I am humbled by the responsibility placed upon my shoulders, renewed by the courage and decency of the American people, and fortified by my faith in an awesome God.
We are in the midst of a season of trial. Our Nation is being tested, and our people know great uncertainty. Yet the story of America is one of renewal in the face of adversity, reconciliation in a time of discord, and we know that there is a purpose for everything under heaven.
On this Inauguration Day, we are reminded that we are heirs to over two centuries of American democracy, and that this legacy is not simply a birthright -- it is a glorious burden. Now it falls to us to come together as a people to carry it forward once more.
So in the words of President Abraham Lincoln, let us remember that: "The mystic chords of memory, stretching from every battlefield and patriot grave to every living heart and hearthstone all over this broad land, will yet swell the chorus of the Union, when again touched, as surely they will be, by the better angels of our nature."
NOW, THEREFORE, I, BARACK OBAMA, President of the United States of America, by the authority vested in me by the Constitution and laws of the United States, do hereby proclaim January 20, 2009, a National Day of Renewal and Reconciliation, and call upon all of our citizens to serve one another and the common purpose of remaking this Nation for our new century.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this twentieth day of January, in the year of our Lord two thousand nine, and of the Independence of the United States of America the two hundred and thirty-third.

It's a nice way of saying "Boy did Ex-POTUS Bush Fuck things up royally! And We're gonna need to pretty much start from scratch. and we're gonna need everyone to fire on all cylinders or we're gonna be a Gangster State like the former USSR in about 9 months."
______
We're lucky he won. can you imagine the McCain/Palin in inauguration?
The Proclamation would have been Permanent war and open season on Polar bears!
We dodged a bullet
