Don't be surprised.  When a new President takes over for one from another party, he will usually go through the CFR and immediately strike down most of the old guy's regulations/exec. orders.

The American people overwhelmingly rejected the Bush-Republican theocracy on Tuesday. After eight years of evangelical tyranny, it's time for a government that embraces science, technology and reason.

Would you consider John McCain a theocrat?  What about Gordon Smith or John Sununu?  Weren't morality initiatives relatively successful on Tuesday?

I'm not a big social initiative guy, but I think the evidence speaks against your claim that the people rejected Bush-style social policy.

Yeah, like raise taxes during a recession.
