I never said anything about the amount of executive orders he's done but rather it's the executive orders themselves and when he's using them that are the problems.

Without a doubt he has set a new president that if you are POTUS, you can just decree things you want as long as you have the support.  The thing is he is only doing this because he knows congress will never get anything done themselves.

 

If we fix our congressional system then presidents will be less likely to go this route.

Any change done through executive orders like he's done will not result in meaningful and long lasting change since it can all just as easily be reversed by the next president. The reason why he didn't work with congress on things like immigration is because he would of had to comprimise on certain things in order to get it passed. That's the way it's supposed to work. Of course, extremely left-leaning bills won't go through congress when it's controlled by republicans but that's the party people wanted in control of congress. 

Obama wanted to push his party's agenda regardless of what anyone else thinks. He's a horrible president because he doesn't even follow the law or have any foresight.

The nuclear deal with iran will probably end with us going to war over there once Iran starts to do what it wants. Using planes only against ISIS is not a viable strategy to stop them. He adds fuel onto race issues. Al Sharpton is a advisor/friend of his that's an openly racist bigot that uses race issues to profit from.  His executive order on immigration is illegal and will probably cost millions to fix.  He broke the law trading 5 high ranking taliban for that traitor bergdahl.
