Obama looks to make immediate impact once in office.

[Swing low, sweet chariot. Comin' for to carry me home.]

Obama wants to repeal the stem-cell research ban among other things implemented by President Bush. 

ah, so that is the "Change" he wants to implement - he's gonna go straight at the moral issues: destruction of embryos, abortion, homosexuality.

who would have guessed?!

Stem cell research is a moral issue to far fewer people than is people dying of curable diseases.  Health care is a major part of President-elect Obama's platform.

I see no evidence of action on the second two issues you mention.

The AP notes "Presidents long have used executive orders to impose policy and set priorities. One of Bush's first acts was to reinstate full abortion restrictions on US overseas aid."

Maybe his supporters

Obama is not Bush, last I knew.  Provide evidence that Obama is considering equal and opposite action, and then we'll discuss.

guess we'll have to wait for the first week of the presidency of a person whose morality includes considering children as "punishment" instead of what they really are: "an inheritance from God"
