Lets stop pretending Obama is against any of these liberty crushing measures. He plays the card well, but most of us aren't fooled. Actions speak louder than words, and at this point I can't hear Obama's voice anymore. Being an apologist for "your guy" doesn't do us any good. Imagine if all the "conservatives" cared about fiscal prudence over the last 10 years instead of giving "their guy" a pass. The "left" needs to put Obama's feet to the fire on the issues they care about. Quit letting him slide on expanding illegal wars, continuing indefinite detention and military trials, rendition, warrantless wiretapping.....it goes on and on. How about standing up for what's right, for the people, rather than standing up for one's "party"? “Again, Obama came out against the law and said we must punish these carriers for doing this, because it’s illegal, and then he flipped under enormous pressure from the lobbies.”
