By my count, Obama has issued 47 executive orders. (I simply counted the ones on the White House website. Mind you, Bush did 291 over 8 years. Obama's on pace to do it in little more than 5, perhaps 6.

And more importantly, I suppose, I find Bush to be rather dictator-ish himself.

It's like a civil war in Africa; you know, it doesn't really concern you too much. - P.J. O'Rourke
