I can't disagree with the "signing statement" comment. I disliked them as well, and whenever the signing statements were judicially challenged, they evaporated.
As far as "taking over all branches of government," there are only three. The Legislature still operated as always, and the Judiciary was as independent as ever.
However, whatever occurred in previous administrations - and that includes ALL prior to the current one - does not provide justification for government-imposed sociological slavery. I'm not a six-year-old, and the Obama administration is not my parent. I don't need anyone in the current - or past or future - administration to tell me what's in my best interest morally, financially, intellectually or any other "ly." That's just justification by them to rob me of my freedoms and personal assets while THEY violate the laws of the land as they attempt to achieve what's in THEIR interest.
The last time I checked the Constitution, Article 2 did not establish a dictatorship, and yet the current administration, with the concurrence of Speaker Pelosi and Majority Leader Reid, is well on its way to try to create one.
