For the first time in history, there are communist in the White house advising the President. And let's not forget a Czar in every port. BTW, are they paid with taxpayer money? And they only answer to obama, so we'll never know what they really do.
What is with his Civilian Security Force? He doesn't think we should rely on our military? Funny how that has never been at question before. What does obama plan to do with them? Will they be marching up and down our streets making sure we are following the rules? You can't say because obama hasn't told us what they are for. Transparency.
Soon, people that do oppose obama will no longer be able to do so, one of our rights under the Constitution, a little document he thinks is outdated.
America as we once knew it is being taken away from us, not a good thing.
The United States has done more for other people and countries in need than anyone else in the world! Try to remember that as this administration attempts to take over every aspect of our lives because some wanted change.
For your reference I'll point out a list of government agencies and regulations that violate the constitution, that were well before President Obama's Administration, so if you're for going back to the constitution have you sent a letter to your congressmen to get rid of the below agencies or regulations?

Did You Hear the One About... by Floy Lilley

A partial list of interventions – those government economic regulations – would include:
  • Bureau of Corporations (1903)
  • Interstate Commerce Act major amendments (1903, 1906, 1910)
  • Meat Inspection Act (1906)
  • Pure Food and Drug Act (1906)
  • Corporation Tax (1911)
  • Sixteenth Amendment to the Constitution (1913) (Income Tax)
  • Federal Reserve System (1913)
  • Clayton Antitrust Act (1914)
  • Federal Trade Commission (1914)
  • U.S. Immigration (cut to a trickle during 1915–1920)
  • Adamson Act (1916) (railroad labor wage rates)
  • Shipping Act (1916)
  • National Defense Act (1916)
  • Army Appropriations Act (1916) (later took over railroads)
  • Selective Service Act (1917)
  • Espionage Act (1917)
  • Lever Act (1917) (food and fuel) (prohibited alcohol)
  • Overman Act (1918) (executive powers)
  • War Finance Corporation Act (1918)
  • President’s Mediation Commission (1917) (labor relations)
  • Federal Control Act (1918)
  • Sedition Act (1918)
Does this look like a laissez-faire list?

Bush had czars, or experts, advising him. Nothing new here.
Name them (the Czars)

Well, not the only one, but at least you admit to that.

All the while the companies in question need to raise rates but since the ratepayers don't see it itemized as tax or expense created by Uncle Sam out of thin air they blame the "pig capitalists".

Sounds like good plan?

Your title claims there is a change, but all you offer us is paranoid assertions.

I cant believe someone has started a thread loaded with the same trash that people have gone out of their way on so many other threads to prove for them is not true.

Good heavens. Do you all want to actually understand the facts or do you only want to sit inside that bubble and draw fantasies on its walls? Seriously.
