Tallied data on final regulations from the Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs (OIRA) and show that Obama has issued an average of 56 economically significant regulations per year during his time in office. This is greater than Clinton or George W. Bush, but similar to the annual average under George H. W. Bush – hardly anyones idea of an overbearing executive. - Its worth noting that the marker for economic significance has been set at the $100 million threshold since 1978. Adjusted for inflation that number would stand at $364 million today, likely lowering Obamas numbers relative to his predecessors.
