He is the first President to claim the power to assassinate a U.S. Citizen without due process, no? He's the one claiming that the Federal Government can coerce citizens to buy a service or get fined by the government.
Plus, the abuse of power in this administration is lengthy, Fast & Furious, the Benghazi cover up, the IRS scandal, and the DOJ wiretapping journalists/politicians for starters. You can try to blame it on underlings, but in the end, the Obama Administration should own all of these scandals. If he really doesn't know what is going on, then in some ways that is worse and just shows that this huge Federal Government is too big and run by incompetents. (Or perhaps, maybe we need to have a President that is an executive, not just a community organizer.)
I tend to fall on the side of getting the power out of DC and back into the hands of the states, and more and more evidence continues to point to that as a solution as well. Unfortunately, I don't think either of the current parties are much interested in that.

Balderdash. Get your blindfold back on, and cover your ears. The IRS has become too powerful, and are obviously in love with themselves. This is not the first time a Federal Department has gone bonkers, it's happened in every democratic country on Earth.
Power manifests itself in weird ways. I suspect the IRS has been doing it's own thing now since Reagan.

...and a Republican could not possibly do anything like this. Only a Democrat...right?

Irrelevant.
Do you condone the behavior of the Federal Government in any of these instances?

No. I just find it odd that Obama has all this power that Bush didn't.

They call it abuse of power for a reason.

So senior White House Administrators knew about the IRS investigation, but failed to tell the President? Right! Did you ever hear the one about the video producer that was thrown in jail for causing a riot that ended up killing A U.S. Ambassador and three other Americans? Yeah, they expected us to believe that one too.
Senior White House officials, including Chief of Staff Denis McDonough, learned last month about a review by the Treasury Department’s inspector general into whether the Internal Revenue Service targeted conservative groups seeking tax-exempt status, but they did not inform President Obama, the White House said Monday.
The acknowledgement is the White House’s latest disclosure in a piecemeal, sometimes confusing release of details concerning the extent to which White House officials knew of the IG’s findings that IRS officials engaged in the “inappropriate” targeting of conservative non-profits for heightened scrutiny. Previously, the White House said counsel Kathryn Ruemmler did not learn about the final results of the investigation until the week of April 22nd, and had not disclosed that McDonough and other aides had also been told about the investigation. On Monday, White House Spokesman Jay Carney said a member of Ruemmler’s staff learned of the probe the week of April 16; Ruemmler learned of the investigation on April 24th; and after that point she informed the chief of staff and other aides about the probe’s findings.
The White House has said President Obama did not learn of the IRS’s actions until he saw news reports on the matter earlier this month.
