Obama is billed as a Constitutional Law Professor. (Actually he was a Lecturer; I was a Lecturer in Thermodynamics and Heat Transfer, but I don't refer to myself as a Professor.) But, Obama has made it clear that he doesn't like the Constitution. The reason he doesn't like it is not so much that it was written by a bunch of old dead white guys, but because of its philosophy. Ayn Rand described the reasons cogently:

"Today, when a concerted effort is made to obliterate this point, it cannot be repeated too often that the Constitution is a limitation on the government, not on private individuals -- that it does not prescribe the conduct of private individuals, only the conduct of the government -- that it is not a charter for government power, but a charter of the citizen's protection against the government." --author Ayn Rand (1905-1982)

Obama and other Liberals do not like limitations on the power of government. They also believe that individuals are not capable of managing their own affairs, so the government must take care of them: to them the Nanny State is a necessity. When I was a boy, people in America could do anything that was not specifically prohibited: in other countries people could only do what was specifically permitted. Obama and the Liberals clearly have an agenda of increasing government power and restricting individual liberty. They claim that are are for individual liberty because they support unlimited abortion and gay marriage, which most conservatives oppose. But, they are opposed to all forms of economic freedom and property rights.
