Obama will move to veto Bush laws

"There's a lot the president can do using his executive authority without waiting for congressional action, and I think we'll see the president do that,"

Barack Obama will move swiftly to unpick many of what he sees as the most egregious acts of the Bush administration when he enters the White House in January, including restrictions on stem cell research and moves to allow oil drilling in wilderness areas, a leading member of his transition team said yesterday. "There's a lot the president can do using his executive authority without waiting for congressional action, and I think we'll see the president do that," (John) Podesta said.

While I would like to see stem-cell research come to fuition, I doubt if Obama will just reverse such things willy-nilly. But who knows.
