Obama is a failure in my eyes. I'm not a starry eyed liberal by any means, but I at least thought that a black president well versed in constitutional law would do something to roll back the relentless assault on our civil rights. I could not have been more wrong. The last time I heard the total number of National Security Letters for the year it stood at 50k. That is fifty thousand searches without judicial over-site. If you get a NSL you aren't allowed to tell anyone that you have received one, even your lawyer. What a total fucking piece of shit this president has turned out to be.

Elderly people who have to wear diapers are exposed to strip searches by TSA employees, as are infants, unable to crawl or walk. I am absolutely disgusted by this administration. They have no decency.

Obama hasn't fought for a single progressive issue, he has continualy stood back and allowed fools like Harry Reed and Nancy Pilocy lead us to crippling compromises that have rarely if ever done much service to our nation. The only fight he has led is the one to increase the debt ceiling, and if you thought that turned out for the best well.....

On the up side he as appointed competent administrators to many positions in the government in general and has ran much better wars then the previous administration. These are truly significant upsides compared to the Bush administration.

If you thought that Bush was an idiot than you were the one that was fooled. Bush ran one of the most successful presidencies in ages. He ran government into the ground, crippling over site and red tape. He got his war in Iraq, and he expanded the power of religion in government. An incredibly successful presidency, just not a liberal progressive one. Wake up to the vile powers of your enemies, stop underestimating them by labeling them idiots and terrible leaders, it just paints you as a fool.

Obama is ineffectual or believes in nothing that he feels is worth fighting for, maybe he will change his stripes, but I won't hold my breath, I like living.
