I never said they were. I simply pointed out that this is nothing new, but people act like Bush created this problem.
they have absolute power to reverse any of their predecessor's wrong policies by executive order or directives to the various agencies.
Yep, they do, and I sure wish he would. But since not one of his predecessors has done so (not even Reagan) we shouldn't be surprised that Bush isn't doing it either. (Bush certainly didn't promise to take care of this issue during his campaigns.)
