There may not be a better summary of the actions of president Obama ever written.

(CNN)After listening to President Barack Obama's State of the Union address, I came away with this question: What does a president do when he thinks he is right and the people he governs are wrong?
He issues executive orders and actions instead of working with the people's elected representatives.
He imposes burdensome and expensive regulations to bypass the lawmaking process.
He conceals information from the public through a culture that encourages an unlawful presumption of secrecy.
He misuses government to target the First Amendment rights of Americans with viewpoints other than his own.
He limits access to information for federal inspectors general, the agency watchdogs charged with combating waste, fraud, and abuse and rooting out corruption in government.
This is the playbook of the Obama administration. It is unilateral, overreaching and unconstitutional. Left unchecked, it is behavior that undermines, and will ultimately erode, the foundation of our democracy and our freedom.
