80. Is that all it takes to qualify for your endorsement?

The nation is in crisis needing leadership and our president is in love with the corrupting influences of bad government. The executive branch continues to turn its back on justice, fairness, principals and ethics.

The USA is severely damaged from Wall Street to torture to military being used as police force to stifle dissent (protestors are now classified as low level terrorists).

It is about Obama's drill-baby-drill policy. It's about endorsing fracking and giving 10's of billions for nuclear energy while giving CEOs tax breaks for outsourcing labor to unregulated markets in Asia.

It is about a corrupt executive branch stuffed with lobbyists and CEOs who formulate public policy that benefits lobbyists and CEOs.

It is about Obama's ruthless pursuit and persecution of whistle blowers in government. It is about lack of checks and balances - the rich CEOs are forgiven, the poor are thrown in jail.

It's about unwarranted military build up in Afghanistan and the continued slaughter of thousands and thousands of civilians, while those guilty of war crimes are given amnesty.

It is about an education policy endorsing treating educators like corporate slaves with minimum wages and no benefits while treating CEOs like kings with sickening pay and tax breaks even as they drive the nations economy into the gutter.

I can't tell Obama apart from the 1980's Reagan neo-con. He endorses all the violent war and military power to protect Wall Street CEOs (the neo-con), while letting Wall Street CEOs formulate public policy (the neo-lib).

It's about a health care policy written by health care CEOs to benefit only health care CEOs.

We need a great leader in office who doesn't apply the rules based on politically convenience. Given outsourcing jobs to Asia, tax breaks for millionaires, trade agreements, torture, wiretapping and indefinite detention as well as his deference towards Wall Street rich, Obama has proven to be a terrible mistake and deserving of a primary challenge.

We must hold Obama responsible for his reckless indifference to our slow destruction as a free, fair and just nation that rewards innovation and solid workmanship.

As it stands, America is a nation of swindlers and Obama has done nothing to remedy this.
