A president who thinks he's king

TO THE EDITORS:

I thought that we had elected a president. But It seems that since the election, Barack Obama is acting more like a king.

The president is not interested in working with Congress. Instead, he is doing an end run around Congress

Obama. has put in place more executive orders than any other president. They are also far more overreaching and onerous. He is shredding the U. S. Constitution.

(Editors' note: According to the National Archives, Obama has issued fewer executive orders at this point in his tenure than did Ronald Reagan, George H.W. Bush or George W. Bush in the same time frame.)
