I am no Obama champion by any means, but people who whine all day about his use of Executive Powers annoy me, and they do it out of pure ignorance.

I've even heard statements like "he's used more than many other presidents combined." Um, yeah, if you go back to colonial times, sure.
The facts are out there; just like they are about guns, marijuana, and global warming. "All ye gotta do is read lad" is what a British friend of mine would say.
But here they are, from the President of my early childhood to the present, their name and the number of times they used Executive Orders in their presidency.

Jimmy Carter:           320

Ronald Reagan:        381

George HW Bush     166

Bill Clinton                364

George W Bush        291

Barack Obama          226

And just for comparison, a few from previous years and administrations:

 Theodore Roosevelt           1,081

Woodrow Wilson                1,803

Calvin Coolidge                   1,203

Franklin D Roosevelt          3,522

 Thank you and goodnight.
