He issued many executive orders
As of 15 October 2012, President Barack H. Obama II has signed 140 Executive Orders, beginning with Executive Order 13489, "Presidential Records", signed on his second day in office, 21 January 2009, and with the latest being Executive Order 13628, "Executive Order from the President regarding Authorizing the Implementation of Certain Sanctions Set Forth in the Iran Threat Reduction and Syria Human Rights Act of 2012 and Additional Sanctions with respect to Iran", signed on 9 October 2012. President Obama's executive orders represent neither an excessively high nor an excessively low amount compared to some of his predecessors; his immediate predecessor, President George W. Bush, signed 291 such orders during his eight years in office; President Bush's predecessor, President William J. Clinton, issued 364 such orders during his eight years in office. Since the Constitution of the United States specifically designates that only Congress may make laws (Article I, Section 8, Clause 18 - the "Necessary and Proper Clause", also known as the "Elastic Clause", and by various other terms): "...To make all Laws which shall be necessary and proper for carrying into Execution the foregoing Powers, and all other Powers vested by this Constitution in the Government of the United States, or in any Department or Officer thereof.", many observers consider that Executive Orders are an unconstitutional, and therefore illegal, assertion of Presidential power over Congressional purview; nevertheless, depending on the criteria used in counting them, some 10,000 Executive Orders have been issued by the 44 American Presidents. A comprehensive listing of President Obama's Executive Orders may be found at the WhiteHouse link. See related links. A comprehensive listing of all Executive Orders going back to President Franklin D. Roosevelt's four administrations (note that the very latest E.O.'s may not be reflected in the list for several weeks or even months after their signing) may be found at the Federal Register in the related link below.
Probably nothing remarkably different. More illegal aliens will be probably be deported ; I don't know how many are poor. The president can only do so much with executive orders. Most government dealings with the poor are controlled by Congress.
None. Executive orders are not secret: in fact, in our internet age, few things are secret. The executive orders the president has signed are public information, and are posted to the White House website for anyone to see. And it is also a myth that Mr. Obama has signed more executive orders than anyone. In fact, in the year 2012, he has only signed 37 of them, and none are particularly controversial or shocking. The total for his entire presidency is about 140; President Bush issued nearly 300 during his term in office, and Bill Clinton issued more than 360 of them. I enclose a link to President Obama's executive orders, so you can see them for yourself. You are maybe confusing Executive Orders with Security Findings. A "finding" is often secret, and can be anything, up to and including an order to shoot a Predator missile at someone's car. Interestingly, President Ford (Republican) issued executive order #11905 prohibiting anyone in U.S. intelligence (like the CIA, who controls the Predator missiles) from carrying out assassinations, and President Carter (Democrat) issued executive order #12036, which extended and clarified the prohibition. No-one seemed to care about these when the CIA was recently ordered to use a Predator missile to kill Anwar al-Awlaki (an American citizen born in Cruces, New Mexico in 1971). Addendum: Not all Executive Orders are public information and indeed "ARE" Secret if deemed appropriate by the President. Many people believe President Obama overlooked the US Constitution is his fervor to make changes he deemed appropriate. However, separation of the Powers was not understood by Obama very apparently.
