>> WHY are his exec. orders (unlike the other's exec. orders) MORE DANGEROUS or more PROBLEMATIC????????????????

If your question is serious and no rhetorical, then I would suggest you read this testimony by Jonathan Turley, who is a well-regarded constitutional professor as well a former fan of the president's and who, clearly, voted for him in 2008.

Turley has, of course, been outspoken about Obama's ramping up of the abuse to levels not seen before to the point he believes, correctly, that it poses a threat to the country.

When a president says, in effect, "I can't get Congress to do what I want it to do, so I'm just going to do it anyway," you have a pretty major problem. While Bush may have done that at some point, it certainly did not become a routine way of doing things as it has with Obama.

It is THIS, not the number of innocuous signing statements, that causes the problem. This is not a difficult concept to understand.
