Another sign of transition - According to White House officials, White House Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel this afternoon signed a memorandum sent to all agencies and departments to stop all pending regulations until a legal and policy review can be conducted by the Obama Administration.

January 20th, 2009 6:47 pm ET EXCELLENT !!!!!!!!!! I just watched about a minute of the G W Bush Pathetic counter inauguration 'ceremony' in Texas before getting sick to my stomach. What a simply Pathetic display of ego-centric nonsense with Bush trying to make huimself sound like a 'hero'. The man is a complete and utter MORON ! |

January 20th, 2009 6:54 pm ET That's Right! Please Stop! This is a new day. Like President Obama said today in his speech, "The question we ask today is not whether our government is too big or too small, but whether it works — whether it helps families find jobs at a decent wage, care they can afford, a retirement that is dignified. Where the answer is yes, we intend to move forward. Where the answer is no, programs will end. And those of us who manage the public's dollars will be held to account — to spend wisely, reform bad habits, and do our business in the light of day — because only then can we restore the vital trust between a people and their government." |

January 20th, 2009 6:59 pm ET I'm sure the President wishes he could say. "stop the show" (at least long enough for him and Mrs. Obama to catch their breath) especially after what I've seen of today's grueling schedule.... and it ain't over yet.... it's all just beginning. Best of Luck to them all |

January 20th, 2009 8:15 pm ET I certainly hope that this will include the environmental regulation "tweaks" the prior Administration were trying to push through before Obama took office – the ones on Endangered Species and the Clean Water act. If these are already in effect I hope the next step will be to reverse them. |
