BALTIMORE (AP) — The Rev. Jesse Jackson said Sunday he is concerned about executive orders from President Bush in his last few months in office and the effect they could have on the incoming administration.

"Bush is signing away consumer and environmental laws. I mean they're running amok, you know," Jackson said.

Some Democrats in Congress have criticized several federal regulations enacted in the waning months of the Bush administration and are discussing whether some should be repealed when President-elect Barack Obama takes office in January.

The civil rights leader and former presidential hopeful also criticized the federal bailout of the financial industry and called for the outgoing president to help the ailing automotive industry.

"It's a huge economic crisis being compounded by this sense of ideology," Jackson said after delivering a sermon at Bethel AME church in Baltimore.

Asked how Bush could help the incoming administration, Jackson replied, "A: Stop these damaging executive orders that satisfy ideology but not people," and commit to helping the auto industry.

Jackson said unemployment is continuing to climb and the auto industry contributes millions of jobs to the economy.

"All of that talk of bipartisanship begins now," Jackson said. "And the new president deserves his vision to be implemented immediately."

White House spokesman Tony Fratto has said the president is protecting the interests of the nation,:spray: but Democrats in Congress and officials with the incoming administration have indicated they will seek to reverse some of the decisions.

2. It's easy to forget that this loser still has 2 months in office

It seems like an eternity...

3. So jackson criticizes the federal bailout, but agrees with a bailout for the car makers

So people loosing their homes is ok, but losing their jobs bad. Aren't they both bad. If you agree with one bailout you have to keep on agreeing, right. I mean before long everyone is going to need a bailout. This country will be broke.
