The question of the week is: What’s biting the dust faster — the demonizing myths surrounding George W. Bush’s policies or Barack Obama’s word?
President-elect Barack Obama signaled Friday that he might not use his executive authority to reverse Bush-era limits on stem cell research, but instead might wait for Congress to change the policy.
Obama pledged during the campaign to lift the restrictions, and political observers had expected him to move swiftly to reverse President Bush’s 2001 executive order – most likely with his own executive order. But the president-elect suggested Friday that he would wait for Congress to weigh in on the issue.
“Well, if we can do something legislative then I usually prefer a legislative process because those are the people’s representatives,” Obama said in a CNN interview.
He might want to start Twittering these reversals to keep the public updated.
