Obama's three Republican predecessors were all committed to weakening or even destroying the country's regulatory apparatus: the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA), the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC)

All three organizations had more regulations, and exerted more control over the country on the day Obama took office, than they did before Obama's three Republican predecessors. Reagan actually did go for some real deregulation, but not so much from the Bushes, and even under Reagan a number of forms of regulation did increase.
