Bush's Midnight Regulations Get Halted...

  and that didn't take long at all. Check this out.

  BREAKING: White House Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel stops Bush’s last-minute regs. Emanuel signs a memorandum ordering all agencies and departments to stop all pending regulations until a legal and policy review can be conducted by the Obama administration.

  There is more on this from here.

"This afternoon, White House Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel 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," the White House said in a statement issued just hours after Obama took office.

Controversial late rules by the outgoing Bush administration include allowing the carrying of concealed weapons in some national parks and prohibiting medical facilities from receiving federal money for discriminating against doctors and nurses who refuse to assist with abortions or dispense contraceptives based on religious grounds.

   These late-night regulations are nothing new to our presidents, but the ones which FORMER president Bush has attempted to get though shows his gall.

   I'm hoping that President Obama and his crew will review and then trash these pathetic regulations.
