How many secret Executive Orders has President Obama issued against the American people?

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.
