bush administration's transition strategy

So, there's been a lot of discussion of the coordination between the Bush and Obama administrations of late, primarily focused on how to enact a smooth transition of power in what will be the first presidential transfer of authority since 9/11. Much has been made of the contingency plans for emergency situations (wait? they had those??) that the Bush White House is providing President-elect Obama. However, at the same time that the current administration is putting on its best front in its efforts to keep America safe by providing the incoming president with important information, Bush et al. also seem downright determined to pass as many absurd regulations as possible, which the Obama administration would inevitably undo, but only after wasting a lot of time and energy. The most recent, of course, is the "right of conscience" rule, the latest way conservatives have come up with of trying to transform the woman's right to choose to the woman's right to battle a seemingly infinite number of governmental barriers and then maybe, just maybe, if she has the determination, time and resources be able to exercise that right. The regulation prohibits federal money recipients (read: all hospitals) from discriminating against health practitioners (including doctors, nurses and hygenists) who refuse to perform certain procedures because of their personal beliefs and bans hospitals from forcing employees to participate in those procedures (a caveat expansive enough that it would allow people to refuse to clean the instruments if they were being prepared for an abortion procedure). In addition to making the lives of women who do make the difficult personal decision to have an abortion even harder, it also achieve the secondary (or maybe even primary) goal of forcing the Obama administration to waste that precious time and energy that could be used to, oh, I don't know, prevent another terrorist attack on America.
