Obama Orders Halt To All Pending Regulations

(AP)

The partying is not yet over, but the Obama administration is already getting to work.

This afternoon, White House Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel signed a memorandum to stop all pending regulations until a legal and policy review can be conducted by the new administration, CBS News White House Correspondent Mark Knoller reports. The memo was sent to all agencies and departments.

The information was revealed in the White House press office's first release under President Obama.

How do you know you like reality? You obviously haven''''t been in touch with it for a good while.

You don''t know anything about me. I wouldn''t trade places with you for anything. That''s the reality I like!

May God bless President O''Bama and the citizens he will have to lead out of this terribly dismal time. I hope we will all give him a chance and help him when we can.

Amazing just how much the GOP and far-right dead-enders on this site hope Obama will fail to fix the GOP mess left for him, how they regurgitate the BS from the campaign (BS rejected by thinking voters), and how they continue on the downward slide for the GOP. They lie about what Obama stands for and lie about how he sees fixing the GOP mess. But lies are all they know after 8 years of lies and crimes. So pity them.

I have to say that it is good to see that the election of Obama has brought out, in force, this tiny minority of easily dismissed morons who also think space aliens are running the NBA. They are the only ones with the motivation to post their insane babbling over and over again.

I say, encourage them! The more these people come to represent the GOP in the eyes of average Americans, the sooner the GOP will be changed. Eventually, we can hope for rational conservatives to take over from the frothing-at-the-mouth far right evangelical and neocon nutcases. Only then will the GOP become a national party again, and not a rump party of the old ignorant South.

Mrs. Biden (Doctor Biden) needs a pie-hole-ectomy, and quick.

Bush and Cheney are kindly, loving, caring, responsible, patriotic, selfless victims of circumstance. Sniff. Sniff.

Too bad the chopper carrying Bush didn''t experience a Halliburton moment...
