Let the bridge-building begin

Not so much.

President-elect Obama plans to use his executive powers to make an immediate impact when he takes office, perhaps reversing Bush administration policies on stem cell research and domestic drilling for oil and natural gas.

John Podesta, Obama's transition chief, said Sunday Obama is reviewing President Bush's executive orders on those issues and others as he works to undo policies enacted during eight years of Republican rule. He said the president can use such orders to move quickly on his own.

When Bill Clinton took office some of his initial moves included wickering with the military by opening more positions closer to combat for women. Standby for changes to how the military handles homosexuality and religion (guess which will be considered good and which evil?).

The article indicates that we can expect changes to government funding regarding abortion, too. Those will be my and your tax dollars at murderous work.

Interesting way to build bridges.
