Obama's principles of governance

Neal Boortz  "Here’s what I’ve come up with so far; but the list is by no means complete."
•American greatness comes from government.
•The economy is to be used as a political tool. Political objectives should be pursued through a command economy
•In a free market economy people acquire wealth by exploiting and taking advantage of the weak. It is the government’s job to right these wrongs.
•The people, are the property of government. Therefore, wealth produced by the people belongs to the government and the political class shall determine the manner in which that wealth is distributed back to the people.
•Money spent by government will lead to economic growth. Money spent by the private sector leads to wealth and income inequality.
•There is a point, which point shall be determined by the political class, at which individuals have made enough money.
•Government dependence is to be encouraged in all matters
•The United States is no more important in international affairs than Turkey or Greece.
Obama’s Abuse of Executive Orders: Worse than Fast and Furious?  "The Constitution clearly gives the power of legislating to Congress – period. A check on that power resides in the Executive Office, where the president can sign acts into law or not. In this he has some discretion over what kind of acts Congress passes into law, but he has no authority to legislate: no authority whatsoever. And he cannot create authority to legislate because all authority belongs to the people, save that authority which they delegate to various office holders and branches of government in ways plainly outlined in the Constitution.
"Remember: All powers not delegated to the government by the Constitution, “nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people.” "
That is no comfort when we find that "The People" are those who make up the audience of "The View" and David Letterman.
