False equivalency is false.
Yes, Obama signed several executive orders when he first came into office. But look at what they were:
13489 - Presidential Records - Identified records to be released to the National Archive. (Oh, the humanity!)
13490 - Ethics Commitments by the Executive Branch - Identified the laws and requirements of those in the Executive to follow said laws as the baseline for the ethics of his White House. (Oh the humanity! II)
13491, 13492, 13493 - Dealing with Detainees and Unlawful Interrogations. - All three were to deal with the Bush Doctrine allowing for the use of unlawful detention and interrogation practices, which were considered illegal by the Geneva Convention and by the Constitution of the United States. (Oh the humanity! III)
13494 - Economy in Government Contracting - A dual effort to reduce costs and gouging by contractors and limit interests like Halliburton and Blackwater. (Oh the humanity! IV)
13495, 13496 - Contractor and Government Workers Rights - Changes in workers rights to afford them greater protection and force contracting interests to do the same. (Oh the humanity! V)
All of those executive orders were administrative or fixing illegal or unethical issues from the previous administration. Not the same thing as what Trump is doing.
