Last month, President Obama declared he’ll “act on my own,” that he doesn’t need Congress to exercise his power.

“We’re not just going to be waiting for legislation. I’ve got a pen . . . and I can use that pen to sign executive orders and take executive actions,” he asserted. “One of the things that I’m going to be talking to my Cabinet about is how do we use all the tools available to us.”

He’s already made good on his promise to act unilaterally — delaying the ObamaCare mandate on businesses again last week and changing the rules for immigration enforcement.

But what Obama didn’t say is that, behind the scenes, he’s radically increasing the government’s reach. His tools aren’t laws or even executive orders — it’s thousands of new pages of new rules in the Federal Register, the nation’s official book of regulations, controlling everything from home finance to car deals to city zoning.

An unelected, unappointed shadowy network of leftie advocates are rewriting these rules — posing a direct threat to Congress’ legislative authority. Yet alarmingly few lawmakers are aware of its clout. Likewise, few in the private sector know about its unchecked power and influence over business and finance — or even local housing and school policies.

The question remains: how much of it can be undone?

It can be undone.

With a phone and a pen.

I hope so. In a nutshell, he is giving the Democrats an unfair advantage.

If a Republican tried to do what Obama is doing there would be mass riots in the streets. The leftists are enjoying this, but when the table is turned they will scream bloody murder. The left is the definition of hypocrites.

the guy's list of accomplishments is so thin, he's even way behind his predecessors in the use of executive orders -- this thing that he is threatening us with. he can't even do that well.

since he lost his supermajorities, the only thing he has accomplished is to get himself reelected.

Would Obama even win the Democratic nomination if he were eligible to run? (Surprised he hasn't fixed that with an executive order yet.)

Hmmm. That picture is offensive because he is "whitewashing" the Constitution. Shouldn't he be "blackwashing"?

Once Obama's term is up, will he just fade away like Bush did, or will he continue to lecture us and stick his nose into our affairs?
