So far I'm encouraged.  And the front page of the American edition of the FT this morning suggests they're going to start ramming health care reform, the Green New Deal, stimulus, etc, through Congress immediately in a kind of "Big Bang" thing.

Unfortunately, the best he can do with all this you've got here is try to game out what gets done after the Inauguration.  A lot of this looks reversible.  He's not the president yet, so he doesn't have the authority to do anything beyond the normal powers of a senator.  Once he's president, he can overturn unilaterally anything Bush has done unilaterally, as we're seeing with the executive orders.

WHEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!

The All-Mighty Presidency brought to you by the Bush Admin. and the Repubs., and utilized by ... Obama!

The music's over. I've turned out the lights. Bye Bye.
