President Obama promised that 2014 would be the year of the presidential “phone and pen.” Atypically, Obama delivered to some extent on that promise.

 

For Obama, 2015 will be the year in which he eschews the phone and resorts even more to the pen. His controversial executive orders on amnesty and Cuba are just the tip of that iceberg.

 

For years, leftist dominated federal agencies have been clamoring for an ideologically-driven regulatory assault. Believe it or not, these agencies have been restrained to some extent by the White House, which was wary, first, of the 2012 election and then, to a lesser degree, of the 2014 mid-terms.

Now, however, school is out. The regulatory assault has commenced.
