Fair enough, but I think you should have more faith in America itself. I don't doubt that Obama, like many other politicians, would like to have the constitution treated "more as a set of guidelines, matey" (you have to say that in a Captain Barbosa accent for full effect) in order to give him more leeway to run things the way he wants, but in reality, the constitution is not all that easy to mess with. If it was, "well intentioned" political leaders in an effort to save the citizens from themselves would have trashed the second amendment long ago. Even the most myopic politicians recognize that interfering with what Americans accept as basic, fundamental, constitutional rights is political suicide.
