President Barack Obama does NOT love America.
Since the November 4th 2014 midterm elections which saw the Republican Party retake majority of the US Senate and add more seats to their control in the US House, President Obama has launched effort after effort to undermine our constitutional rights and freedoms all under the guise of Executive Authority via Executive Orders. Among the most damning is his order for Amnesty for 4-5 million Illegal Aliens in this country. The United States is indeed a melting pot, a nation of immigrants. However above all else, this nation is a nation of laws, the chief among them is the law of the land that is the US Constitution. President Obama with this order seeks to validate the law breaking by millions of people who have come across our borders illegally or have come into this country on work visas and simply refused to leave after expiration. This amounts to validation of lawlessness. Recently, South Carolina Representative Trey Gowdy said that we must be careful with what we do with the law. This is because once the law is allowed to be broken for political expediency, the law loses its teeth. The law no longer has the respect that it should and will be willfully broken with little to no fear for repercussions.

President Obama has also with the coercive authority he possesses had the FCC to adopt "Net Neutrality". This has also been coined as "Open Internet". This basically turns the Internet into a public utility under the direct authority of the Government. The public message about this action is to tell internet service providers that they no longer can throttle up or down internet speeds. The reality of this action is that the FCC and other unelected bureaucratic arms of the executive branch will have discretion in controlling the internet. This will undoubtedly be used to combat political opponents and their supporters from using the vast resources of the internet to oppose them. FCC can license bloggers, pod casters, radio show hosts etc. very much in the way that they license over the air radio stations and TV stations today. This is a massive blow to our first amendment rights to freedom of speech, expression, press. If anyone remembers from their United States history classes the Alien and Sedition Acts of President John Adam's day, they will agree that Net Neutrality is the online version of that. For those not familiar, the Alien and Sedition Acts sought to censor and punish anyone caught criticizing the President over his positions such as the French Revolution.
President Obama has also taken aim at our Second Amendment rights to keep and bear arms without infringement by back door methods in the recent weeks by attempting to ban certain ammunition. Particularly the ammunition type used in the widely popular AR-15 tactical rifle.
The question that must be asked is why didn't President Obama lead Congress to take legislation on any of the aforementioned issues? From January of 2009 through January of 2011 or the first two years of his first term as president, the Democratic Party controlled both houses of congress and could have passed any number of bills pertaining to the issues mentioned above. I'm not in any way saying that what they would have passed would have been constitutional. I am saying that at least the proper process of the Legislative branch writing legislation and the Executive branch signing them into law. There isn't really but one clear cut reason for this. President Obama would have never been re-elected.

Unfortunately, both houses of congress are led by two career republican politicians that have long since represented the actual will of the people that they represent. I am referring to US Speaker of the House John Boehner from Ohio and Senate Majority Leader Kentucky Senator Mitch McConnell. Boehner has been speaker ever since 2011 and McConnell has been Senate Leader since January 2015. Both have failed to lead on reversing the damage that President Obama via executive fiat has done to this country. They have also failed to take action to abolish the unpopular healthcare overhaul called "Obamacare". It seems that living in the DC Bubble for as long as both of them have has rendered them politically tone deaf and toothless. They both seem content to ride out the last two years that President Obama has left in the Whitehouse.
In conclusion, any elected official that willingly fails to keep their oath of office which is to uphold and defend the US Constitution cannot possibly love America.
