He's extremely limited in what he can do by executive fiat.

Thus far, about all he could do is fiddle with imports (all those nice M1s rusting away in a South Korean warehouse makes my heart heavy) and try to work behind the scenes with banking regulations (the recently revealed attempt to make firearm loans and banking difficult to do). Really, I'm not sure what else he CAN do without Congressional help. I certainly don't believe that he had a whole list of possibilities before him for the last couple years and he's just thought "Well, I'll only do these little ones and leave those for later."

Nope. If he could, he has. At least for the stuff he (and his political pals) could think up, anyway. It's more of just the petulant cry from someone who has realized the actual limits of his power and is trying to motivate those of like minds to help him get more done.
