I Am Proud To Have Cast A Vote For This Man And Will Be Proud To So Again In The General

Via Spencer Ackerman, Barack Obama gave us a preview of his first hundred days as president:
During a fund-raiser in Denver, Obama — a former constitutional law professor at the University of Chicago Law School — was asked what he hoped to accomplish during his first 100 days in office.
“I would call my attorney general in and review every single executive order issued by George Bush and overturn those laws or executive decisions that I feel violate the constitution,” said Obama.
It doesn’t sound as exciting as FDR’s fabled first hundred days, but it is perhaps even more necessary. I’m delighted to see further evidence of where the Democratic nominee’s priorities lie; the biggest job facing him is not ending the war (tell the generals to devise a plan to get our troops out, and I guarantee they’ll come up with something) or fixing the economy (the president never has as much direct control as we’d like to think he does), but restoring the constitutional order.
Can’t you see President Obama and Attorney General Edwards sitting in the Oval Office, slowly working their way through mounds of Bush’s most heinous policies and diligently overturning them all?
