The Supreme Court - Reason alone to vote for Obama in 2012
There are at least 1,500 other reasons to vote for Obama, but the SCOTUS is way up there in importance...
Now, it is very hard to stomach the National Review. but this part from their right wing judicial activism blog says it all:
"On the judicial front, the most important task of a Republican elected president in 2012 is to nominate and win Senate confirmation of quality Supreme Court justices. Right now the Court is divided 4-1-4, with four excellent judicial conservatives on one side, four liberal justices on the other, and Justice Kennedy in the middle, sometimes joining with the conservatives, but in many critical cases (e.g., Planned Parenthood v. Casey, Lawrence v. Texas, Boumediene v. Bush, Lee v. Weisman) joining with the liberals. In a first term, a Republican president would have a strong prospect of appointing Justice Ginsburg’s successor, and, whether in a first term or second term, would also likely do the same for the Breyer, Kennedy, and/or Scalia seats.
In short, at some point in his first term, a Republican president who acts with strategic savvy could establish a solid judicial conservative majority on the Court. By the end of his second term, he could build a 7-2 judicial conservative majority that could be expected to endure for two decades".

Seriously, social reforms, while they come constipationally slowly, don't cost anything. How about that progressive drug policy?
Obama never does anything to disturb the rulers of this country and upset the system that channels wealth in their direction. He works for "the job creators." He still talks like supply-side economics is real.
Watch now, as President Obama sends his liberal sounding twin, Candidate Obama out to sooth voter's apprehensions, and assure them that they can take solace in that it may well be a gay soldier guarding them for their unconstitutional detention.
