You need to check your facts. Bush issued many more executive orders than Obama! George W. Bush (R) (2001-2009) had a total of 291 Executive Orders throughout his 8 years in office. President George W. Bush started with EO 13198 and ended with EO 13488. The 1461 has started to put President George W Bush's list of Executive Orders. As of Feb 21, 2013, Obama had signed a total of 148 Executive Orders. If the numbers meant anything, Obama will likely sign at least as many as Bush did. Clinton, during his eight years, signed 363. The issue isn't "how many", the issue is "what were they for?"
