The last five presidents have signed more than 100 executive orders.
President George W. Bush, the 43rd President of the United States, signed 291 Executive Orders, according to the list maintained in the Federal Register and found in the related link for his two administrations below. President Bush's father, George H. W. Bush, who was the 41st President of the United States, signed 166 Executive Orders in his single administration, according to the list maintained in the Federal Register and available in the related link for President George Bush, below.
As of 15 October 2012, President Barack H. Obama II has signed 140 Executive Orders, beginning with Executive Order 13489, "Presidential Records", signed on his second day in office, 21 January 2009, and with the latest being Executive Order 13628, "Executive Order from the President regarding Authorizing the Implementation of Certain Sanctions Set Forth in the Iran Threat Reduction and Syria Human Rights Act of 2012 and Additional Sanctions with respect to Iran", signed on 9 October 2012. President Obama's executive orders represent neither an excessively high nor an excessively low amount compared to some of his predecessors; his immediate predecessor, President George W. Bush, signed 291 such orders during his eight years in office; President Bush's predecessor, President William J. Clinton, issued 364 such orders during his eight years in office. Since the Constitution of the United States specifically designates that only Congress may make laws (Article I, Section 8, Clause 18 - the "Necessary and Proper Clause", also known as the "Elastic Clause", and by various other terms): "...To make all Laws which shall be necessary and proper for carrying into Execution the foregoing Powers, and all other Powers vested by this Constitution in the Government of the United States, or in any Department or Officer thereof.", many observers consider that Executive Orders are an unconstitutional, and therefore illegal, assertion of Presidential power over Congressional purview; nevertheless, depending on the criteria used in counting them, some 10,000 Executive Orders have been issued by the 44 American Presidents. A comprehensive listing of President Obama's Executive Orders may be found at the WhiteHouse link. See related links. A comprehensive listing of all Executive Orders going back to President Franklin D. Roosevelt's four administrations (note that the very latest E.O.'s may not be reflected in the list for several weeks or even months after their signing) may be found at the Federal Register in the related link below.

No, he has signed 127 EO's. I am sure this question is in relation to the latest article floating around the internet regarding his EO's. A little fact checking shows that all of those EO's listed , except for the last two, were signed by JFK in 1962. Out of the other two, one was by LBJ in 1966 and one by Ford in 1976
