Obama Positioned to Quickly Reverse Bush Actions - washingtonpost.com

"Transition advisers to President-elect Barack Obama have compiled a list of about 200 Bush administration actions and executive orders that could be swiftly undone to reverse White House policies on climate change, stem cell research, reproductive rights and other issues, according to congressional Democrats, campaign aides and experts working with the transition team."


"Some of the key elements of Bush policy that will be overturned include: 
--Reversing the provision on Federal funding for stem-cell research
--Lifting a global gag rule barring international family planning groups that receive U.S. aid from counseling women about the availability of abortion
--Reversing the decision to deny states the authority to regulate carbon dioxide emissions from automobiles, and
--Addressing the need for changes to food and drug regulations."
