In his “fourth quarter,” he feels free to ignore popular opinion, the rule of law, and Congress.
Until now there were two types of peaceful American change. One was a president, like Franklin D. Roosevelt or Ronald Reagan, working with Congress to alter American life from the top down by passing a new agenda. The other was popular-reform pressure, as happened in the 1890s or 1960s, to change public opinion and force government to make new laws or change existing ones.
Barack Obama has introduced a quite different, third sort of revolution. He seeks to enact change that both the majority of Americans and their representatives oppose. And he tries to do it by bypassing Congress through executive orders and presidential memoranda of dubious legality.
Take so-called climate change. Even when Obama enjoyed a Democrat-controlled Congress, he could not ram through unpopular cap-and-trade legislation. Now he promises to reduce carbon emissions through executive orders. He just signed a climate-change “accord” with China, bypassing the U.S. Senate, which by law must approve treaties with foreign powers.
Polls show that a majority of Americans oppose amnesties and want immigration laws enforced. The 2014 midterm elections were a reminder of those realities.

What was it that Maxine Waters said about that? I can't find the quote.
< I >”The President has put in place an
organization with the kind of database that no one has ever seen before
in life,” Representative Maxine Waters told Roland Martin on Monday.
“That’s going to be very, very powerful,” Waters said. “That database
will have information about everything on every individual on ways that
it’s never been done before and whoever runs for President on the
Democratic ticket has to deal with that. They’re going to go down with
that database and the concerns of those people because they can’t get
around it. And he’s [President Obama] been very smart. It’s very
powerful what he’s leaving in place.”

or an old way............either one!
One person CAN do allot in America if they LIE about everything ( and that list is looooooong) and then exercise unabridged authority to make changes only HE would agree to.
So yeah, for sure, Obama can be a one person revolution but other people would call them Monarchs or Dictators.
And the cowardice is emanating more from the Republican Caucuses than ANYWHERE else!
The American people, somewhat surprisingly, did their part on November 4.
The ‘instant’ cowardice will manifest itself, one way or the other, on Jan 6 when the vote on Boehner comes up!
All 2015 will be able to be considered a successful year, barring MAJOR cataclysmic events, if Boehner is thrown out of office (Speakership).
That’s the one — many thanks. Makes a person wonder, doesn’t it?
FUBO!
