President Obama's Executive Orders 2009-2013

Here are links to Obama's Executive Orders for each year of his presidency.  Click on the year and the list opens.  Click on each title and the full Executive Order opens.

Reading each Executive Order is more work than I want to undertake.  Perhaps we could divide the work, several people look at the Executive Orders for each year, and then post comments when something interesting is found.

Haz, you've got to be out of your mind. What good would reading these do, individually or in toto? They're simply going to mean whatever the God-Emperor and his loyal priests want them to mean, when they need them to mean anything at all. They don't think the Constitution means a goddamned thing, so why would they think these things mean anything?

I count 388, nearly exponentially increasing up to 2013, when he took serious time off.

Maybe his pen ran out of ink.

I want to read his signing statements.

I'd take a look if I thought there'd be any chance he ever ordered out for Chinese.

Here's a link to a list of Executive Orders by President, dating back to George Washington.

The number is one thing; the content another.

You're late to the game.

U.S. Grant should probably be discounted from that list because most of his orders were drinks.

Judging from Haz' link, executive orders look to have been very popular indeed during the Progressive era from Teddy Roosevelt to FDR.

FDR alone issued more execute orders than every president of the last 61 years combined. Jeepers.

Durr, "executive orders"

Obama probably holds the record in execute orders. :)

Rev, FDR tried, convicted and executed those Nazi saboteurs in a few months. Credit where it's due.

And, both GWB and FDR opened internment camps via EO. Another reason Progressives should like Bush.

I think it's instructive that, according to Robert Gates, the manchild ValJar says is so brilliant he's been bored all his life because nothing's sufficiently challenged him was only interested in military policy insofar as it involved repealing DADT.

He really doesn't know much, just what he's supposed to be for.

@edutcher: Obama wasn't just interested in repealing DADT; he also wanted to humiliate Bush's defense policy and along with it, the men and women who fought and died under Bush's command. And he has succeeded thus far.

The silver lining of Obama is that even lefty's and former supporters may yet come to realize the danger the man poses.

he also wanted to humiliate Bush's defense policy

Whether or not he wanted to humiliate Bush's defense policy is pretty much a moot point, given that by November of 2008 Bush's defense policy was about as popular with the public as child molestation and rectal cancer.
