No president can do the job without them. Let's try to be clear about which ones are valid and which aren't.
On average, each POTUS will sign approx. 140 EOs per term in office. Obama is on target. That said, the deeper question of validity is whether or not EOs are actually legal at all. The Constitution doesn't specifically mention them, and I am unaware of any legislation that validates or authorises them .

Honestly, I think part of the problem was that going into this the rhetoric from the White House made it sound like Obama was going to do something radical. This put the right even further on edge than normal, ready to see the specter of gun control everywhere.
