Carney on ‘08 Promise: Obama Meant ‘Quality’ of Exec. Orders; Not the Actual Number

HENRY: “Why the change of heart on the idea of pulling back on executive action? Now he seems to be full steam ahead.”

CARNEY: “There is no question that this president has been judicious in his use of executive action, executive orders, and I think those numbers thus far have come in below what President George W. Bush and President Bill Clinton did. The matter the president was discussing in his campaign in 2008 wasn't the number, it was the quality.”
