Obama is dangerous. He is a threat to the soverntry of the United States. It's just shameful he represents America the way he does.
I am embarrassed to have Obama represent me, i.e, "we the people"
This white paper by Sen Cruz does and excellent job documenting our lawless POTUS

THE LEGAL LIMIT: THE OBAMA ADMINISTRATION’S
ATTEMPTS TO EXPAND FEDERAL POWER
Report No. 4:
The Obama Administration’s Abuse of Power
By U.S. Senator Ted Cruz (R-TX)
Ranking Member
Senate Judiciary Subcommittee on The Constitution,
Civil Rights and Human Rights
Of all the troubling aspects of the Obama presidency, none is more dangerous than the
President's persistent pattern of lawlessness, his willingness to disregard the written law and
instead enforce his own policies via executive fiat.
The President's taste for unilateral action to circumvent Congress should concern every citizen,
regardless of party or ideology. The great 18th-century political philosopher Montesquieu
observed: “There can be no liberty where the legislative and executive powers are united in the
same person, or body of magistrates.” America's Founding Fathers took this warning to heart,
and we should too.
Rule of law doesn’t simply mean that society has laws; dictatorships are often characterized by
an abundance of laws. Rather, rule of law means that we are a nation ruled by laws, not men. No
one—and especially not the president—is above the law. For that reason, the U.S. Constitution
imposes on every president the express duty to “take Care that the Laws be faithfully executed.”
Rather than honor this duty, President Obama has openly defied it by repeatedly suspending,
delaying, and waiving portions of the laws that he is charged to enforce. When President Obama
disagreed with federal immigration laws, he instructed the Justice Department to cease enforcing
the laws. He did the same thing with federal welfare law, drug laws, and the federal Defense of
Marriage Act.
In the more than two centuries of our nation’s history, there is simply no precedent for the White
House wantonly ignoring federal law and asking others to do the same.
For all those who are silent now: What would they think of a Republican president who
announced that he was going to ignore the law, or unilaterally change the law? Imagine a future
president setting aside environmental laws, or tax laws, or labor laws, or tort laws with which he
or she disagreed
