An amazing event is taking place: the orderly, peaceful transfer of power. From President George W. Bush to (soon to be) President Barack Obama. From the Republican party to the Democratic party. Without guns or threat of violence. The political process works.
It’s times like this that I’m proud to be an American.

I was impressed with the way Bush was handling the transition too, until I realized he isn’t informing Obama and crew of any signing statements or their content, nor is he informing them of any executive orders, which includes orders to torture, for instance. It’ll likely take months for the new crew to stumble on all of them so they can go through the onerous (in some cases) process involved in reversing them.
At least W’s informing you of these orders. Otherwise, how else would you know about them? I’m truly impressed that you’re more connected to W’s nefarious deeds than O is. ;-)
