WASHINGTON — Barack Obama told House Democrats on Tuesday that as president he would order his attorney general to scour White House executive orders and expunge any that "trample on liberty," several lawmakers said.

Presidents, as head of the executive branch of government, issue such orders to direct operations of executive branch agencies, like the Justice Department and the CIA. For example, President Bush used an executive order last year to breathe new life into the CIA's controversial terror interrogation program that allowed harsh questioning of suspects.

Obama "talked about how his attorney general is to review every executive order and immediately eliminate those that trample on liberty," said Rep. Jerrold Nadler, D-N.Y.

"He indicated there would be a review in his administration," said Rep. James Clyburn, D-S.C., the House majority whip.

1. Obama CLAIMS he would order review of Bush's executive orders

Keep in mind that election year pandering is in full swing. After all, if Obama's repeated insistence that marriage is for one man and one woman is "just pandering to the right to get their votes," what makes you think this statement is not "just pandering to the left to get their votes?"

I don't intend to hold my breath on this, or on any statement made by any politician before an election.

3. I won't be holding my breath at all..............

but I will be doing everything I can to hold Obama accountable for the promises he's made.

This should be true for any public official and starts from the lowliest office and end at the WH.

We've allowed ourselves to become complacent and apathetic, this platform is built on change. America is begging for change and, perhaps I am thinking more optimistically than I should, but I believe that American citizens are waking up from the current state of pessimism and powerlessness and will realize that we do have the power to make a real and beneficial change from our current state of affairs.

It's up to us and our ability to stay involved.
