Obama to undo at least 200 Bush executive orders

Thank heavens, we finally have an intelligent and wise adult at the steering wheel!!! Stem cell research will be funded and environmental programs will take center stage. After 8 years trudging through the desert, we have finally reached an oasis!! (~.~)

EXCERPT: Transition advisers to President-elect Barack Obama have compiled a list of about 200 Bush administration actions and executive orders that could be swiftly undone to reverse White House policies on climate change, stem cell research, reproductive rights and other issues, according to congressional Democrats, campaign aides and experts working with the transition team.

Obama himself has signaled, for example, that he intends to reverse Bush's controversial limit on federal funding of embryonic stem cell research, a decision that scientists say has restrained research into some of the most promising avenues for defeating a wide array of diseases, such as Parkinson's.
