Barack Obama is threatening to bypass Congress and use executive orders to achieve the policy changes he can’t get through legislation. “We are not just going to be waiting for legislation in order to make sure that we’re providing Americans the kind of help that they need,” he said during the State of the Union address. “I’ve got a pen and I’ve got a phone.” Here seemingly is one more item in the indictment of Barack Obama’s arrogant dismissal of the Constitutional order, and his contempt for mixed government.
But once again, the problem isn’t the ideology or personality flaws of Obama, as dangerous and extensive as those are. Obama is just a more extreme version of Progressive ideas permeating our politics for more than a century. The problem runs deep in our political order, and will require much more than just changing a few political personalities in order to restore the limited government and citizen self-government intended by the Founders.

What if the Founding Fathers were wrong? What if getting rid of the original Articles of Confederation was a bad idea? What if everything you've been told about the Federal Government is a lie?
9:04, What was created and designed was a foundation in which AMERICA was created. It has been accepted for hundreds of years as OUR way of life and order. It's a shame seeing MY America disappearing for a select few.
funny joe, even George Washington utilized executive orders. There is plenty of opportunity and firepower on the right to take any of Obama's EO's to court. Instead of screaming ad nauseam about it, let the courts decide.
