We can agree to disagree. I'll let the subject be.

I have no doubt Silent has personally read all 381 of Reagan's executive orders and determined them less significant on the whole than Obama's.

This seems fitting for the Executive Order President.

# of Executive Orders by President:

Barry Obama: 193
George W. Bush: 291
Bill Clinton: 364
George H.W. Bush: 166
The late, great Ronald Reagan: 381
Jimmy Carter: 320

It's a reference to the nature of the executive orders and the use of them. Hence the reference. We're not merely counting by the numbers, we're counting what POTUS is trying to do and has stated he's doing - going around Congress to enact his agenda (see: SOTU 2014).

The name still fits.

I don't really understand - Bush had his 'signing statements' where he essentially makes it clear that the government doesn't intend to follow certain parts of the law just enacted.  Are you referring to that?

Obama is using executive orders, notably sparingly, to do things that Presidents are actually allowed to do.

The President has made it clear that if Congress doesn't send him what he wants, he'll work around Congress via executive orders. Most of his recent ones have been muscular (immigration, climate change, notably) and have been pretty strong. There is no exaggeration in calling him an executive order - friendly President in his second term.  

Good thing Reagan never made an executive order on illegal immigration. Oh wait, he did. Several times.

Well, good thing George H.W. Bush never made an executive order on immigration! Oh wait, he did too.

Face it SilentCal, this topic, "Obama wears a tiara", will forever be your internet Waterloo.

@SilentCal: You described George Bush quite perfectly, not Obama

*Shrugs* Fair enough. I'll take the criticism as intended. There's other areas to criticize the Left and the President on.

Looks like Obama has taken more unilateral executive ACTIONS than Reagan. Because executive orders and executive memorandum are essentially the same ... but yeah muh Obama doesn't act on his own cuz he calls it something different. muh stay silent.

Obama and tiara rhyme so well that I'm tempted to make a song out of it.

I'm not pretending this is any kind of rebuttal to your point, because I honestly am totally uneducated on your point, but that is one seriously grave meme abuse there.

I thought the whole point of 'memes' was that they are supposed to evolve.

Sporting a tiara in a photo posted Wednesday, President Barack Obama seems to have broken his own rule of “you don’t put stuff on your head if you’re president.”

Well, there goes Obummer again. First he bows to the Japanese, then does nothing as Russia dismembers our ally, and now he surrenders to freaking Girl Scouts of America. Feckless dictator indeed. Will he apologize to them too?

Maybe they'll send in a company of United States Marines to save him?

But it doesn't even make sense!  "Stay silent" isn't an object!  How can it be possessed!  That's just dumb.
