Other than that, the list is half and half. Meaning half of it is basically opinion and holds no constitutional credence (e.g. fighting "dependence on foreign oil" could be turned around as fighting private interests of American-owned business, no doubt an infringement on those Americans' constitutional rights), and half of it is things that other presidents have done and will always continue doing. Which brings me to my main point about that: Obama proves again and again that rather than either a radical socialist or a liberty-preserving messiah, he's something far worse than what his friends and opponents alike paint him: a crafty, calculating, interested politician out to please a whole range of competing interests, most of them far from strictly democratic. And he's not the only one, sadly.
