I’m still catching up on the news, but Radley’s impressed with Obama’s self-limiting first acts in office:
Yes, it’s only been one day. But this is mighty impressive. Obama’s top priority upon taking office was to sign orders rolling back his predecessor’s expansion of executive power. Put another way, Obama’s top priority upon taking office was to institute limits on his own power.
Check Radley’s post for specifics. Keep in mind too that this is all just a week after AG nominee Eric Holder had no expectation of reversing course on the telecom immunity Obama initially opposed but eventually caved and voted in favor of. But still, bravo for a good beginning.
