Obama Should Use That Secret Tool Chest-Do You Agree?

    

OUR President Elect Barack Obama, with an overwhelming victory and mandate from the American people to get things done combined with a strong Democratic majority Congress standing ready, willing, and able  to oblige him, and happy to do so, should Obama dip into that secret tool chest that he inherited from Bush and Cheney and use those unitary executive powers, kingly powers, absolute and final, including all those Executive Orders, and all those Signing Statements, to usurp our Constitution at his will, just like his predecessor, or should he renounce and destroy completely that secret tool chest forever and restore the nation's Constitution for the American people?    

So, the question needs to be asked of the President-elect: do you plan to denounce and renounce these extra-Constitutional ways of doing business, and the illegal policies that resulted, before you take office? Because, one is entitled to fear that, if you don't, one day, when things get tough (as they will), you will look at this secret little tool chest, and it will appear all too tempting http://www.huffingtonpost.com/harry-shearer/president-elect-obama-den_b_141877.html            

NOT sure
NO, Obama should renounce everything in that secret tool box
