With the Stroke of a Pen

Watching Obama make so many fantastic changes to the government by just signing his name, I had forgotten how easy it was for certain other presidents to make such terrible changes. Some things seem a little too easy.

Anyway, today Obama signed two exciting directives:
  • To make the EPA reconsider whether California should be able to regulate auto emissions linked to global warming (they were denied this ability under Bush)
  • To make the Transportation Department require average fuel economy of 35 mpg by 2020 or sooner.
Not surprisingly, Republicans are already complaining about how liberal Obama is [Sorry, I can't find the article to link to anymore]. I still think he's not liberal enough.
